Kia ora folks- a PD opportunity below for those interested in Open Scholarship. Thier words not mine:

SOS: Selling Open Scholarship

Innovations in librarians advocating for open scholarship, CRIG forum 1 2021

 There is a delicious irony in using the term ‘selling’ when discussing how librarians advocate for open access. Apart from giving the forum a good acronym, it signals our opportunity to have a conversation around how librarians communicate in the open scholarship space.

Join us for an insider’s conversation with experts to discuss our role in advocating for open access. We will hear their reflections as we explore how to:
– communicate the complexity of OA
– explore disciplinary differences
– encourage innovations in business models
– accelerate our discussions at the institutional, national, and international level.

Each of the events will be concluded by a facilitated Q&A.

 

Event 1, Wednesday 23 June, 3.00 – 4.30pm AEST

Speakers:

Lucy Montgomery, Professor of Knowledge Innovation, Curtin University, and Co-Lead of the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative

Martin Borchert, University Librarian, University of New South Wales

 

Event 2, Friday 25 June, 11.00am – 12.00pm AEST
