  Colleagues:

  October 20-24 is International Open Access Week<http://www.openaccessweek.org/page/about> a global event that provides an opportunity for researchers and academics to learn and share knowledge about Open Access and other Open Educational Resources.

  Here are a few resources and action ideas that you might take during OA Week:

  1. Reproduce and distribute Jill Cirasella’s “Open Access…The Very Basics” infographic (http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/files/2011/05/OA-The-Very-Basics-Oct-2013.pdf)

  2. Send Beth Evan’s email template to faculty suggesting OA titles for class (https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh3c1v9gbgtdypy/template_OAfaculty_letter%202014.docx?dl=0)<https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh3c1v9gbgtdypy/template_OAfaculty_letter%202014.docx?dl=0>

  3. Promote and attend SCRT’s screening of the documentary The Internet’s Own Boy<http://www.takepart.com/internets-own-boy> which examines the life and contributions of Internet and information activist Aaron Swartz on Fri Oct 24, 3-5pm at BMCC, room N780.

  4. Visit Open Access @CUNY at http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ or International Open Access Week<http://www.openaccessweek.org/page/about> for further programming ideas and resources.

  This looks great! Is there a page that lists the information about the film screening I can point to on the web to promote the event? Sorry if I missed it elsewhere!

  I am not aware of a page that lists the information about the film screening in any more detail than we have in our draft message.

  Great suggestion, Alycia. I posted something on the CUNY Open Access Events and OA week pages: http://bit.ly/1v6Wpld. Does anyone know how I can add an OA Week 2014 page to the CUNY Open Access site? Thanks!

  Ah, thanks for prompting me to do this, Karen! I made an OA Week 2014 category (and applied it to your post) and set it so anything with that category will appear on this page: http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/open-access-week/oa-week-2014/

  So, anyone who posts anything about OA Week 2014, just make sure to assign it that category!

  Thanks for putting this up! I’ll share/promote it as I can, but sadly can’t make it myself!

  Thank you for adding this, Jill.

  Please let us know, ideally by tomorrow morning, if you have any further corrections for the email. Maureen and I would like to send this out to CULIBS tomorrow afternoon, if possible. Thank you!
