Panel Presentation & Discussion

Topics and presenters:

"Libraries and Open Access - What is it? Why does it matter?" (Anne Rauh, Librarian for Science and Engineering, Syracuse University)

"Woolf and OA - would Virginia Woolf support OA?" (Chris Forster, Assistant Professor of English, Syracuse University) Forester will tie the themes of OA to those discussed in the COR100 common reading, A Room of One's Own. Virginia Woolf was an advocate for information access for all, but as a self-publisher, might she also be concerned for the financial implications? Is there a place for OA in the humanities?

"Faculty and OA - one scholars experience with publishing in OA" (Emily Ledgerwood, Assistant Professor, Biology, Le Moyne). Ledgerwood will share her experiences as a scholar who has published in OA journals. Why did she choose this model? What is the importance of OA to the scientific community?

Location: Grewen Hall Auditorium, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY 13214

In conjunction with the common reading "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf
