Library Forum - Mandatory Open Access: Friend or Foe?

The University of Connecticut Libraries Scholarly Communications and Forum Teams cordially invite you to a public forum on the various ramifications of an important new development in scholarly publishing. “Mandatory Open Access: Friend or Foe? Coming to Terms with National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Federal Research Public Access Act legislation”  The event will explore the impacts of the newly passed NIH public access mandate on scholarly societies, publishing and the peer review process.The mandate, which became law in December, 2007, requires that journal articles resulting from NIH-funded research to be made freely available to the public within 12 months after publication.  The forum will also look at proposed legislation such as the 2006 Federal Research Public Access Act, which would expand that mandate to include research funded by other U.S. government agencies.

Plagiarism Discussion

The SOURCE Writing Center presents a discussion concerning

PLAGIARISM……knowing what it is…knowing how to avoid it.

It’s a word we hear thrown about a lot at the university. It’s the most serious concern of faculty and administrators. Now students will have a chance to learn more about the idea of academic dishonesty and how to avoid it while having the opportunity to ask questions about their own concerns.

We will hold two discussions:

MARCH 17^th @ 3 p.m. in the Library’s e-classroom

&

APRIL 14^th @ 3 p.m. in the Library’s e-classroom

Hope to see you there!
