It’s Open Access Week 2024, Oct. 21-27. This year’s theme, Community over Commercialization, continues a thread from last year’s theme, “It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity.”

Any faculty member receiving federal funding should take the time to read this post about big changes in the making and librarians should also be familiar with how funder requirements impact researcher practices .
