Opentober main event Oct. 23
What does open access (free, immediate, online access to the results of 
scholarly research) mean to the world of scholarly publishing? Open access:
- has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted;
- has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole;
- gives rights to all to use articles to benefit innovation, discovery, education, in order to better our world.
Dean of Libraries to speak
For a serious look at this issue, don’t miss the talk, “The Tyranny of Journal ‘Big Deals'” Inaccessibility for Many, Unsustainability for all” by:
- Pat Burns, President of Information Technology and Dean of the Libraries,
- Dawn Paschal, Assistant Dean of the Libraries

The event occurs on Thursday, October 23, 3-5 p.m., in the Library Event Hall. This event is in connection with Opentober, the CSU Libraries’ month-long celebration of the Open Access movement.
