IU Celebrates 2024 Open Access Week
October 21-27, 2024 is an international recognition of the impact of Open Access
The annual International Open Access (OA) Week is a great opportunity for the academic and research community to discuss the benefits and challenges of OA, exchange new ideas with colleagues, and work toward better knowledge production systems. This year’s theme "Community over Commercialization", continues the call to prioritize approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the advancement of research and the academic community.
Across the IU campuses, a number of libraries have joined forces to put together programming with online, asynchronous, and local events in different formats for OA Week this year, highlighting the sub-theme “Centering Equity in Knowledge Production."
Participating libraries for OA Week 2024:
IU Libraries Bloomington Herman B Wells Library | IU Indianapolis University Library | Ruth Lilly Medical Library | IU East Library
Join your Indiana University libraries for Open Access programming
The week of Oct. 21-27, IU Indianapolis University Library challenges you to learn more about the impact and possibilities of Open Access publishing.
IU Libraries Bloomington will provide a lunch reception for Dr. Martin Halbert’s keynote lecture, How the Dynamics of "Public Access" and "Open Access" are Creating the Next Generation Knowledge Ecosystem
Dr. Halbert will lead discussions and answer questions on Open Access (OA) as a public good, compliance for research grant funding, granting agencies’ public access policies under the Nelson Memo, and considerations for Humanities researchers around OA, permanent identifiers, data and repositories. Dr. Martin Halbert is a professor and research fellow at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, providing strategic research policy advice, and also teaching Information Science courses.
Have you published OA? Have you avoided publishing OA? Would you like to publish OA but have concerns? Join us in a virtual conversation with other faculty on these topics.
The Institute for Advanced Study will present a brief introduction on the current state of Open Access publishing for books, articles, and born digital Arts & Humanities content. Then we will open the floor for questions and discussion.
This live Q&A is a wrap-up to the 5-day asynchronous OA Week Challenge to enhance the visibility and impact of your work. Librarians from across IU campuses will be available to answer your questions about the tools and topics featured during the challenge. All are welcome, even if you have not completed the OA Week Challenge. Zoom link is in the linked calendar event.
