Open Access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. OA published information is freely available to anyone in the world with an Internet connection – no subscription necessary.
Each October, Open Access Week offers a chance to advocate for more scholarly work to be made available openly. This year, the Furman University Libraries will celebrate Open Access Week through two faculty events, promotion of OA services, and online awareness. This is a great chance to learn more about Open Access, make your own scholarship available in the Furman University Scholar Exchange (FUSE), or seek funds to publish your scholarship OA.
Open the Library. Open the World. Open Access.
