The University Libraries welcome you to celebrate Open Access Week, October 23-27, 2023, during which we will engage with this year’s theme, “Community over Commercialization.”
Over the course of the week, we will be exploring questions like: Is something lost when a shrinking number of corporations control knowledge production? What options are available for using community-controlled infrastructure? And how can we shift the default toward using these community-minded options?
Events for Open Access Week 2023
To that end, we are pleased to be offering several workshops that primarily center community-based solutions to researcher needs:
We also encourage the UAlbany community to attend the Division for Research and Economic Development’s Research and Entrepreneurship Week events. The Libraries will be at the Research Resources Fair on Thursday, 10/19 from 10:00-2:00. Attendees will learn more about resources available to support their work and explore ways to build future capabilities based on current needs.
As you think about the ways you can support and engage open, community-based options available to you in your research, teaching, and learning, remember that the University’s Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Team is always available to help. Get in touch!
UAlbany’s Open Access Week activities were funded in part through a generous grant from University Auxiliary Services at Albany (UAS).
