Workshop on Open Access Publishing and Digital Libraries, Dec. 10
The City Tech Library, in partnership with the Faculty Commons, is pleased to invite all faculty to attend a workshop on Open Access publishing and digital libraries. The Open Access movement is revolutionizing scholarly communication–scholars are making their research freely available on the Internet. Many Open Access journals are published online only and are peer-reviewed. We’ll learn about the history and current status of Open Access movement and discuss its impact on our scholarship. Digital Libraries are online collections of content ranging from archival materials to videos to articles to raw data to theses. We’ll look at special search engines as well as key disciplinary repositories. This presentation will benefit faculty looking for new venues to share their work before, during, and after publication. In addition, faculty will learn about new resources for research.
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, December 10, from 1-1:45 pm in the library classroom, A 540. RSVP to Prof. Monica Berger: mberger@citytech.cuny.edu
