How has Open Access Week affected you?

Open Access Week 2011 is here and it’s already made an impact in the library world at large as well as with CUNY librarians.

I’m looking forward to today’s Author’s Rights Event at Brooklyn College as well as tomorrow’s Open Access Scholarly Publishing as Thought and Action panel at the Graduate Center. But I had to miss a few of the other events that have been happening across the CUNY campuses. Therefore, I’m wondering: what are the things you’ll be taking away from Open Access Week 2011? How can we share what we’ve learned this week with the CUNY community and with other colleagues out in the wide world of academic publishing–and beyond?
