Open Access Week

 
 
Open Access Week -   
A global event now entering its sixth year, Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

What is Open Access? 
Free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need (free of most copyright and licensing restrictions).  It has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole.  To learn more about Open Access, go to:

 How Does Open Access Impact Me?  
Through Open Access, we are able to create The Roadrunner Scholar: Digital Repository of faculty and student research and campus publications.  You may search the Roadrunner Scholar for articles by your favorite professor, search through the college yearbooks, and read archived issues of campus publications such as Tributaries, eQuill, and The RoadRunner.
