"Basically you tweet out a link to the paper that you need, with the hashtag and then your email address," she told BBC Trending radio. "And someone will respond to your email and send it to you."
If you're interested easily keeping up with the latest open access research coming out of the University of Windsor you can now follow @LeddyLibrary on Twitter. Our little bot will be letting our followers know about new articles, books, images, theses and dissertations and other works that are being added to Scholarship at UWindsor.
One of the interesting aspects of developing open access digital collections is the opportunity to bring new life to publications that have a unique local connection. As part of the Southwestern Ontario Digital Archive (SWODA) the library has begun to publish works delving into the history of the University of Windsor.
The finalists in the 2015 Leddy Library Research Question Competition have been selected and posted here and will soon be visible on posters around campus!
Thank you to everyone who submitted a questions this year! The committee had some difficult decisions to make.
October 19th - 25th is Internation Open Access Week. It is an opportunity to draw attention to the need for free online access to publicly funded research and the ways in which institutions like the University of Windsor are making this a reality. When an article, book or other work is available open access, that means that anyone, anywhere can download it freely online.
UWindsor alumni who are interested in accessing some of the library's electronic research collections can now do so through the alumni a-to-z list.
Databases listed on http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/atoz-alumni are accessible by alumni while off campus by logging in with their UWin ID and password.
For more information on services for alumni at the library please visit: http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/services-alumni.
