International Open Access Week (Oct. 23-29)

By

The University Libraries celebrates International Open Access Week (Oct. 23-29) and encourages our campus community to take a moment to learn about open access. The theme for Open Access Week this year is “Community over Commercialization.” This theme encourages conversations about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community.

In short, Open Access in the world of research encourages free, immediate, and online access to scholarly research, and makes it more accessible to the public. Open Access publishing has a similar goal to Open Educational Resources (OER) in providing students and teachers with free access to educational materials.


Our Serials Librarian, Prof. Jennifer Huffman, has created a great promotional kit of resources that you can view at your leisure. We will also highlight UWSP faculty members who have published in open access journals throughout the week.



We invite you to explore the many resources below, reach out to us with questions, and join the open access movement by publishing your research in an open access journal.
