Demystifying Open Access

Abstract

The international Open Access (OA) movement is changing how journal literature is created, disseminated, and purchased. Individuals working in academic, public and special libraries are invited to this session for a demystifying look at “green” and “gold” journals, Open Data, Open Education, Open Government, Creative Commons, and information “harvesting”. We’ll explore cost models, intellectual property, OA infrastructure, and strategies for supporting this exciting change in the publishing world.
