Every year for a week in the second half of October, research libraries, open access advocacy organizations and some members of the publishing industry celebrate International Open Access Week, filled with learning opportunities for faculty and students around the economics, ethics and practical issues around scholarly publishing. Leddy Library has hosted events here and elsewhere for many years, and this year we have hybrid sessions taking place online and in Leddy’s Student Collaboratory on the first floor of the Main building (all times Eastern and in English):
