Please join IU Libraries' Scholarly Communication Department on Friday, October 28, for a full-day International Open Access Week symposium and reception hosted at Wells Library. This is a hybrid event with in-person or virtual attendance available. You may attend for the full day or select only the morning or afternoon session, as your interest or schedule permits. Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is no cost for attendance.

We will highlight IU authors’ experiences with publishing open access, showcase various models of funding open access publications, and frankly discuss challenges and limitations. We will also take the opportunity to discuss the implications of the recent “
Nelson Memo,” which has wide-reaching implications for all research and publications supported by federal grant agencies, as well as services offered to assist you with this transition.

  • The morning session runs from 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m. and includes featured speaker Melanie Chambliss speaking on Black libraries and Open Access, as well as IU faculty, Ilana Gershon, author of Living with Monsters: Ethnographic Fiction About Real Monsters, and Eileen Fradenburg Joy, Director of Punctum Books.
  • The afternoon session includes a complimentary lunch and lasts from 12-4 p.m. This includes two IU faculty speakers: Quito Swan, author of Pauulu’s Diaspora: Black Internationalism and Environmental Justice, and Ethan Michelson, author of Decoupling: Gender Injustice in China’s Divorce Courts. Additionally, the IU Press will discuss open access publishing opportunities as part of a panel of experts in university press publishing. Our featured afternoon speaker is Maria Eliza Hamilton Abegunde, speaking on “Climate Change, Open Pedagogy and the ALA Civic Imagination Station Project.”
  • Finally there will be a reception from 4 p.m.-6 p.m.

This event is co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research, the Department of Information and Library Science, the Department of African-American and African Diaspora Studies, the Arts and Humanities Council, and the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities. We are very grateful for their support.

You may attend for the full day, or select only the morning or afternoon session. In-person space is limited to the first 50 people to register.
