Open Access Week is a yearly international celebration that aims to increase awareness about open access (OA). OA scholarship is completely free to read and reuse. Funders, universities, libraries, scholars, and students across the globe support OA.

The University of Zambia Library will lead campus celebrations during this year’s OA Week slated for October 15 – 17, 2018.

The OA advocacy team is therefore inviting the university community to this year’s celebrations. Activities will focus on public sensitization of OA activities through:

• Official launch by Deputy Vice Chancellor
• Displays (banner & posters)
• Distribution of fliers
• Slide shows in designated places
• Face to face interactions with faculty and students
• Panel discussion on UNZA Radio
