We want to have a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the academic community — and which do not. We want to choose community over commercialization. Each day, librarians, faculty and students will lead conversations around Open Access to education. This is a Zoom event from noon to 12:50 p.m. Oct. 23 to 27. See the schedule below.

Wednesday, Oct. 25 - Accessibility for All
Jennie Johnson (Director of Services for Students with Disabilities and interim director of TRIO); Stephanie Foster-Reynoso (SSD); Kimberly Coy (KSOEHD); Ashley Abrahamson (Office of IDEAS)
Open Access offers the potential for everyone to access academic resources freely. But for this to be truly impactful, those resources need to also be accessible. Join us to explore the crucial relationship between Open Access and accessibility in academic settings. We'll discuss both the opportunities and challenges, ensuring that as we push for more open resources, we don't inadvertently leave anyone behind.
