Open Access Week seeks to promote awareness and provide education about how to overcome the financial and legal barriers that keep academic scholarship inaccessible to most people around the world.
The Pollak Library invites campus faculty to join us for complimentary wine, beer, and food as we explore and discuss the viability of a Green Open Access (Journal Article Archiving) Policy.
Audience
This event is hosted exclusively for members of the CSU Fullerton Faculty and Senate. Emeriti faculty are also invited.
Event Speakers
Christopher Kelty of UCLA is our keynote speaker, followed by Jon Bruschke moderating a panel of distinguished CSU Fullerton faculty, and then an Q&A session for all attendees.
Christopher M. Kelty (Ph.D., MIT) is Associate Professor at UCLA with appointments in the Institute for Society and Genetics, the Department of Information Studies, and the Department of Anthropology. His research and publishing deals with openness and participation across information studies, the natural sciences, and the humanities. Christopher played a leading role in the promotion and passage of the Green Open Access (Journal Archiving) policies at UCLA and the whole UC System and speaks regularly on Open Access and the changing scholarly publishing landscape.
