October is here, which means it's time to celebrate Open Access Week (OA Week). Each year's OA Week is guided by a theme, and this year focuses on knowledge equity:
It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity
Visit KSL's second floor between October 25-31st to find an OA Week Table with information about the basics of Open Access and why it matters. Collect one of our OA Week buttons, take a flier, and Ask a Librarian about equitable access to open knowledge on this campus and beyond.
