From October 21st through 25st, Dartmouth Libraries will host a series of events as part of International Open Access Week.
This international event brings together universities, research institutes, and publishers committed to “Community over Commercialization,” prioritizing “approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.” Check out the slate of exciting talks and panels happening locally in recognition of this imperative topic.
A Library of Alexandria for the Digital Age, a talk by Peter Baldwin
Open access is an idea with a pedigree reaching back well before the digital revolution. But even as its realization seems closer than ever before, this movement has its detractors with a stake in maintaining the status quo. Historian Peter Baldwin will tackle the myriad contemporary debates surrounding open access within the wider context of the history of knowledge production.
