About Open Access Week

Who Owns Our Knowledge?
The libraries are celebrating International Open Access Week (October 20-24),
Join the JH libraries (Arthur Friedham, The Sheridan Libraries, and Welch Medical Library) October 20-24 to learn more about open access, copyright, and publishing. This year’s theme asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control of the knowledge they produce. JH Libraries are presenting a number of events geared at helping JH researchers and students understand more about open access and how it can bring a wider audience and impact to your work.
Check out our OA Week Events
If you require a reasonable accommodation to enjoy and participate in Open Access Week events, or if you have questions or feedback, please direct your inquiries to scholcomm@jh.edu.
