I’ve booked a ticket for the webinar below, and I’ll book a room for us to watch it together.  The room will be dependent on the mad rush of people fascinated by the topic.  (Its a great topic!)  (And Richard’s great.  He plays keys in a band. he’s like Brian Cox, but not as sniffy)

Webinar #2 – AOASG Webinar Series 2017 – In their own words: academics talk about open access

Presenter: Richard White – Manager, Copyright & Open Access Vice-Chancellor’s Office, University of Otago

What is the open access ‘culture’ in your organisation? We didn’t really have a good idea – though we had read a lot of research on this carried out in other parts of the world. So, knowing that antipodean researchers are likely to have their own strong views, we did a survey. And they didn’t disappoint: the results were at the same time expected and surprising. This talk will present some of the (anonymous) quotes from our nearly 500 respondents and invite attendees to reflect on the OA culture in their own organisations.
