Open Access Week (October 19-25) is an annual global event that serves as an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. This year's theme, "The Cost of Knowledge," challenges us to consider the financial, human, and environmental costs of creating, sharing, and sustaining knowledge—particularly when these costs are driven by private rather than public interests. Please check in with the workshop or contact ULS-DigitalScholarshipServices@pitt.edu if you have any pre-event questions. All are welcome at our online events!
