Celebrate Open Access Week by joining other students, faculty, staff, and community members interested in learning more about how open access affects both our scholarly research and access to information we need for everyday decisions.
Tuesday, October 22nd, 12:00-1:30pm in the Student Activity Center (SAC) Room 2.302
A panel of university experts will participate in a question and answer session about Open Access issues. Discussion topics include the National Institutes of Health requirement to post articles in PubMed Central; funding agency requirements to create and share data management plans; the recent White House memorandum expanding public access to the results of federally-funded research; the bipartisan FASTR (Fair Access to Science & Technology Research Act) bill; and any topics the audience is interested in discussing.
Panel members are: Maria Esteva, Texas Advanced Computing Center; Georgia Harper, University of Texas Libraries; Tracie Harrison, College of Nursing; Colleen Lyon, University of Texas Libraries; and Elena Mota, Office of Sponsored Projects.
Food and refreshments will be provided (while they last) to attendees. We hope to see you there!
