Open Access Week

Open Access week started today (19-23 October). It is the fifth annual event to celebrate and promote an open approach to publishing and disseminating. This includes the open Educational Resources. There are several different events taking place (see http://openaccessweek.org/ for details). I am taking part by giving an elluminate talk on Open Access Research within the series of talks organised by Athabasca University (http://openaccess.athabasca.ca/). The first of the seminars is taking place as I type with Terry Anderson presenting on the Open Scholar and how openness is having an impact on how we work. Elluminate recordings are being made so if you miss the scheduled time (Noon in Athabasca, 7pm in UK) then you can catch up later.
