- UCLA Open Access Week Events 2014
1) SPARC and the World Bank will broadcast a live webcast focusing on this year’s theme of “Generation Open.” Speakers will discuss the importance of students and early career researchers in the transition to Open Access and explore how changes in scholarly publishing affect scholars and researchers at different stages of their careers. This will be followed by an audience discussion here in the library led by Marty Brennan
2) Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon
Hosted by Kelly Miller, Sharon Shafer, Margarita Nafpaktitis, and Lisa McAulay
Currently, there are entries in Wikipedia with subject matter relating to existing UCLA digital collections, but they lack External Links to our collections. Providing Wikipedia External Links from appropriate entries to the digitized collections will increase the visibility of the digital collections, and foster future Wikipedia editors. It will also expand the Library's role as custodian of our cultural heritage and their partner in the open access initiative.
3) Panel discussion titled “Publishing Your Creative Work: Online or Print?
Hosted by Diane Gurman and Julie Glassman.
We’ll have a panel of local zine and literary magazine editors who’ll discuss the question of whether open access should be extended to non-scholarly work, specifically prose, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Editors will discuss their publications, choice of format, and the pros and cons of selling print copies versus providing free online access.
We'll conclude with a workshop on creating zines, led by Julie Glassman.
The program is aimed mainly at undergraduates in our creative writing program and other aspiring writers. While most OA Week events in the past were aimed at grad students or librarians, I wanted an event aimed at undergrads so they could learn about OA early in their academic career. Like the Dissertation to Book program we held last year, I wanted OA discussed in a context that would draw people in to something they were truly interested in – getting published. I didn’t want to use the phrase OA in the title because not everyone knows what that is.
