Open Access Week: Oct. 19-25, 2015 - tcassidy - 10-02-2015
From the 9/29 ACRL Update :
"Prepare for Open Access Week with ACRL Scholarly Communication Toolkit
Let ACRL's Scholarly Communication Toolkit help you prepare to lead events on your campus during Open Access Week, to be held October 19-25, 2015. Open Access Week, a global event now entering its eighth year, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they've learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.
The ACRL Scholarly Communication Toolkit provides context and background by summarizing key issues to offer quick, basic information on scholarly communication topics. It also links to examples of specific tools, including handouts, presentation templates and videos for librarians to adapt and use on their own campuses, and for library school students seeking to incorporate these issues into their course work. The toolkit, developed and maintained by the ACRL Research and Scholarly Environment Committee, serves as a valuable resource for scholarly communication discussions inside the library and for outreach programs to faculty and administrators."

I am curious to know if anyone has any plans for this week (be it displays or events/workshops)?

Hi, Michelle,
Old Dominion University in Norfolk is offering an Open Access Brown Bag Series of presentations on several of the days during Open Access Week. Included among them is a presentation on TCC's Z-Degree and Open Educational Resources, which is being presented by some colleagues from the TCC libraries.
I'm attaching to this message a flyer with the dates, times, and topics of the presentations in the series in case any of you are in the Tidewater/Hampton Roads areas and find that you would be able to attend one or more of the presentations at ODU that week.
Hope this helps,
--Greg

Thanks for the information Greg. I think I'll be doing some kind of display at the Norfolk Campus Library.
