  • LACUNY Scholarly Communication Roundtable – Spring 2026 Discussion Event

    Dear Colleagues,

    LACUNY Scholarly Communication Roundtable is organizing a spring discussion event. This event will focus on one of two recent publications on open access publishing:

    Publishing Beyond the Market Open Access, Care, and the Commons by Samuel A. Moore

    or

    Achieving Global Open Access The Need for Scientific, Epistemic and Participatory Openness by Stephen Pinfield.

     

    We’re asking that you take a moment to consider which book appeals most to you. Then, vote on (a) which book you’d like to serve as the basis of our upcoming discussion event and (b) the date/time that works best for you (end April/early May). If interesting in joining us, we ask you complete this survey by Friday March 6.

    >>>VOTE ON THE BOOK AND MEETING TIME HERE<<<

    Colleagues will be forgiven if the full book is not completed by the time we meet. After book and meeting time are selected, we’ll ask for volunteers to share their reflections on specific chapters to ground our discussion.
    Sincerely,

    Monica Berger & Eric SilberbergRoundtable Co-Chairs
