International Open Access Week 2014

International Open Access (OA) Week 2014 is fast approaching. This year's theme, "Generation Open," focuses on the impact that students and early career researchers can have in shaping the Open Access movement.

During the week of October 20-26, the University of Waterloo Library will be hosting events to highlight the challenges and opportunities that Open Access presents to researchers.

Topics to be discussed include:

• emerging federal funding agency OA requirements for funded research
• open data
• trends in research data management

In addition we will discuss the local tools and services that the UWaterloo Library provides to assist the UWaterloo research community to understand and seize the opportunities of Open Access. If you are interested in attending, visit our Open Access Week 2014 schedule for a listing of events.
