How Can Faculty Make Their Work Open?
Barbara Fister in Inside Higher Ed has written a wonderful piece, Open Access Without Tears, on how faculty can make their scholarship open and more widely read.
Faculty: did you know that you can self-archive your work in City Tech’s own repository, Academic Works? Just create your account and then either click on “submit research” under Author’s Corner or contact Monica Berger for help at mberger@citytech.cuny.edu.

City Tech Library and the Faculty Commons invite you to celebrate Open Access Month 2015* with a presentation and discussion featuring guest speakers: Megan Wacha (CUNY Office of Library Services) and Jessie Daniels (JustPublics@365).
How can your scholarship be more visible and meaningful? Reach new readers and make a difference in the world through open scholarship!
Connect with more scholars across the globe.
CUNY’s Academic Works is our new showcase for CUNY faculty scholarship and creative work and helps make scholarship more easily found and, accordingly, read and cited more often.
Make a difference in the world. JustPublics@365 (CUNY Graduate Center) is “reimagining scholarly communication for the public good.” This initiative teaches academics and others how they can use digital media to get their work out to broader audiences as well as how they can apply their work to social justice.
