[IP-OA_Forum] Reminder of OASPA Webinar "Research libraries in an Open Access world" on Thursday December 14

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

A reminder of the last OASPA webinar of 2023 happening next week.

Research libraries in an Open Access world will take place on 14 December 2023, 1 - 2.15 pm UK / UTC

Libraries need to engage with evolutions in scholarly communication if they wish to stay relevant in the context of teaching, learning and research. Are our libraries prepared for the OA world?

Have libraries changed sufficiently at their core to continue playing a central role in scholarly communication in a context which is not only digital but also OA? Is developing publishing programs within the library the only answer to that question and does this affect other areas of the library in a significant way? Or should libraries focus completely on a future as student-oriented learning centres and leave research support to others?

This webinar will be chaired by Demmy Verbeke. We welcome our panelists Joanna Ball, Rachael Samberg, Anna Clements and Lai Ma. 

Full information along with speaker biographies can be found on the blog.
