International Open Access Week begins on October 20th, with events happening across universities to educate and spread the word about the potential benefits of open access. The theme of 2025 Open Access Week is “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”, addressing questions about information control and how we as authors and creatives can make our works available to the public without compromising its values and integrity.
The Shannon and Brown Libraries will be hosting hybrid brown-bag lunch sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss OA topics. Please bring a lunch (or watch online) and enjoy some lively presentations and discussions about open access!
