Open Access week is fast approaching and there is lots going on around the Templeman Library, from a free documentary screening to games, between Friday 19th and Friday 26th October. Read on for whats on!
Grab your popcorn!
We’re kick starting Open Access Week with a free documentary screening of ‘Paywall: The Business of Scholarship.’
“Paywall is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google.”
Tea and coffee will be provided and you’re welcome to bring your lunch.
Friday 19th October, 12:00, Templeman Library, Room DG 01
Book your place through Eventbrite.
Play the game!
Join us for ‘Copyright the Card Game‘ where you’ll learn all about the things that copyright protects, activities that are restricted, licensing, and fair dealing.
Monday 22nd October, 10:00 – 12:30, Templeman Library
