Libraries HomeFaculty Alert! Open Access Events End Today, Fri., Oct. 23
October 21, 2009
If you're a UO faculty member, you have a personal and professional stake in the knowing about the latest trends and issues in the area of Open Access, or the “worldwide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature, with completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds.” Open access shifts the costs of producing scholarship away from the reader, and by so doing makes it more likely that research results and scholarly works will be used as they are intended: to be read and cited.A weeklong series of library-sponsored Open Access events ends today with a talk by Carl Malamud on issues involving open access to legal records. Specifically, Malamud will discuss a case in which a UO faculty member questioned the state Attorney General’s assertion of copyright in and potential restriction of access to legal materials. The talk is scheduled for 11 a.m. to noon in Studio A, Knight Library.
