Washburn encourages use of open resources - WASHBURN REVIEW

Oct. 22-28 is Open Access Week and Mabee Library is hosting several events dedicated to free academic resources and to helping people find ways of getting information for free. The main event will be the showing of, “Paywall: The Business of Scholarship,” a free film about the need for open access to research and science, specifically in journal access. “It’s an open access film about… what they call the antiquated system, this pre-internet system [that] doesn’t work anymore,” said Amanda Luke, open access and public services librarian at Mabee. http://www.washburnreview.org/news/washburn-encourages-use-of-open-resources/article_452005f2-d155-11e8-adff-93ed671d6083.html
