> Concordia University Libraries will be taking part in the world’s  
> first international Open Access Day (http://openaccessday.org),  
> which will be held on Tuesday, October 14.

> Open access literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free  
> of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The founding partners  
> of Open Access Day are SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic  
> Resources Coalition), Students for FreeCulture, and the Public  
> Library of Science.
> Faculty can most directly support the Open Access movement by  
> joining the growing number of academics who choose to publish in  
> Open Access Journals or deposit their research output in Open Access  
> depositories. For further details, please visit the Libraries web  
> site:

> Or drop in to the Vanier or Webster Library between 1 and 5 pm on  
> Tuesday, October 14, when faculty, students and staff will be given  
> the opportunity to learn more including how to search for open  
> access content, and how to support further initiatives.

> Thank you for your attention.
