http://gslis.simmons.edu/oaweek/2010/ - Events at Simmons College for Open Access Week, a global event now entering its
fourth year, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue
to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what
they've learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation
in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.
"Open Access" to information - the free, immediate, online
access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use
those results as you need - has the power to transform the way research
and scientific inquiry are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications
for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole.
