Open Access is a growing international movement dedicated to promoting free and unfettered access to research, scholarship, and knowledge. Open Access Week is an annual international celebration of the principles and applications of open access.
The UConn community can participate in the Open Access Week conversation as the Library hosts a forum highlighting several features of this dynamic scholarly communication environment. Please join us on Wednesday, October 26, as we explore concrete steps that authors, researchers, and instructors are taking to transform scholarship today.
