Open Access: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How It Affects Reedies | Dena Hutto, Angie Beiriger, Ryan Clement
\n11am\u00ad-12pm | L221<\/h4>\n

The term \u201copen access\u201d can refer to 1) A movement that promotes the idea that scholarly journal articles, books, theses, data, and dissertations can and should be freely available to everyone; 2) A publishing model that requires authors to pay to have their books or articles published in exchange for free distribution to readers; 3) The idea that scholars should retain ownership of their work rather than signing away the rights to a journal publisher. At this session, librarians and participants will discuss each of these models and how they affect Reedies as students and scholars. We\u2019ll also discuss ways in which we can or should promote open access at Reed. Coffee and snacks will be provided to fuel the discussion!<\/p>\n
