Open Access and Public Scholarship
Open access and public scholarship are often complementary approaches to engaged research, teaching, and practice. Next week for Open Access Week, the UW LIbraries is hosting two events highlighting the work of UW scholars who provide open access to their research and/or work in the area of public scholarship. Both events include UW Bothell faculty, and we are pleased to be able to offer streaming access on the Bothell campus. These events are part of the Libraries’ Hacking the Academy program series, a year-long conversation about digital scholarship.
Please join us in the Campus Library, room LB2-318, for live streaming of the following events:
