Ten Books to Contextualize the Idle No More movement

The following is a re-print of ActiveHistory.ca's January 4th post Ten Books to Contextualize Idle No More by Andrew Watson and Thomas Peace. Thomas Peace is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Native American Studies Program at Dartmouth College; Andrew Watson is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at York University.   The original post has many other book recommendations made in response to the original ten suggestions - nine of which are currently available at the Leddy Library.

Celebrate the ability to read because of Open Access by reading about Open Access

Like so many other folks around the world, the Leddy Library is celebrating Open Access Week.

We celebrate as Open Access gains momentum in the scholarly world while recognizing that the concept of Open Access is not understood by everyone.  My favourite definition of Open Access comes from Peter Suber:

Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
