International Open Access Week 2016


When: October 24-30 2016

What: Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Come learn how to advance your research with Open Access.

Theme: The “Open in Action” theme highlights the researchers, librarians, students, and others who have made a commitment to working in the open and how that decision has benefited them—from researchers just starting their careers to those at the top of their field.


How does Dykes Library support OA? KU's One University Open Access (OA) Author Fund is designed to heighten the visibility and accessibility of the University's scholarship... please go here to view a list of KU/KUMC authors who have been  awarded KU One University OA funds.  Request OA Funding here.  Additionally, publication consultations through the Research and Learning Department and through the One University OA Fund team are available for researchers to identify high-quality open access journals to publish within and to navigate questions of copyright and authors' rights.
 





Highlighted OA Event: Please help us celebrate International Open Access Week with an event  on October 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at A.R. Dykes Library of the Health Sciences. Box lunches will be available for the first 50 guests after a brief program. Please bring your research and publishing questions.  Library professionals will be available for consultations on such topics as OA, publishing, copyright, author identifiers.  Enter your name in a drawing for an orchid plant after registering with ORCID. Assorted OA promotional materials will be available.

Library Proxy Server Maintenance

The Library's content proxy server (https://login.proxy.kumc.edu) will be offline briefly on the morning of Tuesday, September 6th for scheduled security updates.  This will mean no off-campus access to licensed content through login.proxy.kumc.edu which will affect all full-text links in the catalog, E-Journal Finder, the databases page, and FindIt.

Direct links to resources (i.e. links without the proxy address prefix) will not be affected. Off-campus users should be able to use VPN/Direct Access with non-proxied URLs.  For example, remove "https://login.proxy.kumc.edu/login?URL=" from your links.

From a FindIt URL like this:
http://mt8fd2he2v.search.serialssolutions.com/log?L=MT8FD2HE2V&D=Z5R&J=ANNAOFALLAS&P=Link&U=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.proxy.kumc.edu%2Flogin%3FURL%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.clinicalkey.com%2Fcontent%2FplayBy%2Fdoi%3Fv%3D10.1016%2Fj.anai.2015.04.004

remove this part:
https%3A%2F%2Flogin.proxy.kumc.edu%2Flogin%3FURL%3D

and use this:
http://mt8fd2he2v.search.serialssolutions.com/log?L=MT8FD2HE2V&D=Z5R&J=ANNAOFALLAS&P=Link&U=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clinicalkey.com%2Fcontent%2FplayBy%2Fdoi%3Fv%3D10.1016%2Fj.anai.2015.04.004
