First Open Access Day to be Held Oct. 14
SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition; www.arl.org/sparc), the Public Library of Science (PLoS; http://www.plos.org/), and Students for FreeCulture (http://www.freeculture.org/) have jointly announced the first international Open Access Day. Building on the worldwide momentum toward Open Access to publicly funded research, Open Access Day is designed to create a key opportunity for the higher education community and the general public to understand more clearly the opportunities of wider access and use of content.
Open access has wider implications for all including students, researchers, publishers, academicians and also librarians!!!
To celebrate this occasion, Alma Mater Library (AML) would like to:
1. Create awareness about Open Access through News Updates by email
2. Announce sources of information available through Open Access
3. Initiate discussions amongst users about Open Access
We also welcome everybody's participation on this sensitive issue, which deals with our working, academic and professional life. Please do share your experiences.
