Event Description

5 compelling reasons for Setting the Default to Open Access to be communicated via a daily blog across Monday to Friday, supported by series of 5 posters distributed across campus (Day 1 poster is illustrated here). The campaign includes a week-long online poll to the question "Would you like to make your work open access?". We will use the poll results together with the blog content and comments to start faculty-based discussions on the merit of developing a university stance on OA.
