Afternoon all,
Please join us for “Research Without Borders: Open Access in the Americas”, our final event of the academic year in our Research Without Borders panel discussion series. This event will take place from 3-5pm on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 in Presidential Rooms 2 & 3 of Columbia’s Faculty House (directions here.) It is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required. Full event details are here.
National-level policies around open access to research differ around the world, and the issues at stake around public accessibility to research demand an international perspective. In this panel event, the current landscape of open access policy development in the USA, Canada, and Latin America will be compared and contrasted. Panelists with views from across the Americas will explore and discuss the differing national perspectives around open access to research.
Our panelists:Heather Joseph, Executive Director of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), Michael Sinatra, Associate Professor of English at the Université de Montréal, and Dominique Babini, Open Access Program coordinator at CLACSO-Latin American Council on Social Sciences.
Our moderator:Pamela Graham, Director of Global Studies and the Center for Human Rights Documentation & Research at Columbia University.
This event is co-sponsored by Columbia University Libraries/Information Services’ Scholarly Communication Program and the Digital Humanities Center. Join the discussion on Twitter at #rwob.
