Open Access, Open Educational Resources, Open Everything!

Pick your session:
10/22 or 10/25 at 1:45 pm
Room 333-T

Co-sponsored by the Lloyd Sealy Library and The Center for the Advancement of Teaching
The City Tech Library, in partnership with the Faculty Commons for Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship, is pleased to announce a workshop in celebration of Open Access Week!
You Know What You Write, But Do You Know Your Rights?
Understanding and Protecting Your Rights as an Author
When you publish a journal article, you sign a copyright agreement. Do you know what you’re agreeing to when you sign it? How can you find out a journal’s policy? How can you negotiate your contract to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, and author? Come enjoy wine & cheese with your colleagues at our Open Access Happy Hour and learn how to preserve your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 23, from 5:30-7pm
WHERE: Rm A632, Faculty Lounge, City Tech
Space is limited! RSVP to Maura Smale at [email protected].
(City Tech faculty have priority at this event, but other CUNY faculty are welcome to attend if there is space. Email [email protected] to inquire.)
The semester’s just begun, but it’s not too early to save the date for this year’s Open Access Week, scheduled for October 22-28, 2012. We’ve heard that events and programs are brewing at several of the CUNY campuses, so watch this space for more information as the dates draw closer. And if you’re interested in getting involved in planning OA Week events, please get in touch!
