SUMMARY:How can you write an open access encyclopedia in a closed acce
 ss world?
DESCRIPTION:See blog post for info & registration\nMuch knowledge has 
 always been locked away, throughout history. It’s inaccessible — o
 r expensive to access — for all but a privileged few.\nTwo Internet-
 era social movements have sought to change that: Wikipedia, which inv
 ites any and all to participate in constructing a comprehensive encycl
 opedia; and the Open Access movement, which maintains that academic 
 research — especially when funded by the public — should be readil
 y accessible to the public, ideally under free licenses that permit vi
 rtually unrestricted redistribution.\nThe goals, tactics, and even com
 munities of both movements overlap strongly. But on occasion, conflict
 s arise. Last month, Open Access advocate Michael Eisen took issue w
 ith the activities of The Wikipedia Library, a project which aims to 
 help Wikipedia’s volunteer editors read and consult otherwise inacce
 ssible publications (typically, academic journals). His critiques were
  covered in Ars Technica, and various blog posts and social media 
 postings ensued.\nConflicting views on how to engage with closed-acces
 s publishers present an opportunity to discuss the goals and visions o
 f both movements. With that in mind, we invite you to attend (either i
 n person or via webinar) a panel discussion on Wednesday, October 28.Â
  We will delve deeper into these issues, and invite discussion and com
 mentary.\n\nFor more information visit http://legacy.openaccessweek.or
