Dal Libraries is celebrating International Open Access Week October 24th-30th with workshops and a film screening (featuring our own Ryan Whalen). These events are extremely relevant to anyone studying IM or working in the field.

From Dal Libraries: “Open Access Week provides an opportunity for academics and researchers 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 that will make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. (from the Open Access Week website)

The principles of Open Access are founded on ideas of public access to publicly funded research, author rights, availability of educational resources, and affordable access to materials for educational institutions. The Dalhousie Libraries are pleased to be using these principles to bring the research activities of Dalhousie to the world.”
