UKSG are pleased to announce the first running of our new seminar:
UKSG Open Access
London, 23 May 2012
Event summary
What is Open Access? Are you baffled by the terminology and uncertain as to
what it’s all about? Do you want to know which publishers are doing it, why
and how they’re doing it, and what librarians have to do with it? Are you
looking for facts and a clear understanding? Then come to this UKSG seminar
when all will be
revealed.
Why you should attend
This one-day seminar is designed to give a general and impartial
introduction to the Open Access (OA) publishing model and the issues and
management considerations related to it. Various stakeholders including
publishers, librarians and intermediaries will provide their perspectives on
the OA model and its importance. Current projects and future developments
will also be covered. A group discussion session at the end will allow
delegates to talk with the presenters about topics that have arisen during
the day, or issues that delegates wish to raise from their own working
experience.
Level and previous knowledge required
Introductory; no previous knowledge required.
