University Libraries will be celebrating Open Access Week, October 19-23, 2009.The highlight of the week is a presentation about copyright options that allow authors to retain specific publishing rights for the purpose of increasing the availability and impact of their research worldwide. “Author’s Rights, Publishers, and Open Access: Why You Should Read That Contract!” by Madelyn Wessel Associate General Counsel, University of Virginia
Please join us for this discussion held at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21, in the Edwin Meese Conference Room, Mason Hall, Fairfax campus. Stop by the Open Access kiosk in the Johnson Center Atrium (or in the North Plaza, weather permitting) during the week to learn more. Representatives from the Copyright Resources Office, Mason Archival Repository Service (MARS), and University Dissertation and Thesis Services will be on-hand to answer questions and distribute information about OA, publishing in refereed OA journals, and depositing your work in MARS. The kiosk hours will be 12:00-2:00, October 20-22. If you don’t have time to stop by, please visit our wiki openaccessweek2009.pbworks.com or contact Claudia Holland chollan3@gmu.edu.
We look forward to sharing what University Libraries is doing to promote Open Access at Mason!
