ABOUT THE WEBINAR

 

The publication and management of Open Access material now plays a central
role in the academic research infrastructure, although its impact may differ
across disciplines. If, as Heather Joseph of SPARC has written in College
and Research Library News, "the full accessibility and utility of articles
is a critical part of the design of the research system," then how can the
library ensure that this material, which may be generated via an array of
various processes from multiple sources, is easily available for its patrons
to discover and use? Join NISO's presenters for a lively discussion on this
timely topic.
