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.
