Open California Tour: Friday, May 16th
Raising the Impact of Research, Scholarship and Education Through Openness
Raising the Impact of Research, Scholarship and Education Through Openness
Technology is
enabling research and discovery in new and exciting ways and is expanding our
ability to share knowledge and educate in new and expanding ways. New models to share and educate include Open Access, which allows for free,
immediate online availability of research publications to any reader and with
full reuse rights, and Open Educational Resources,
which make textbooks and teaching materials free for anyone to edit, adapt, and
share. With the UC Open Access policy
and one of the largest group of world-class research scholars in the world, the
University of California system is positioned to be a global leader in shaping
and directing these new models to expand access to knowledge, accelerate
research and learning, and reduce financial pressures.
As part of a week-long tour of California universities, two prominent
experts on Open Access and Open Educational Resources, Nicole Allen and Nick
Shockey from SPARC, will visit UC Irvine on Friday, May 16, 2014.
Their talk will focus on how openness can accelerate scholarship, benefit
researchers, and improve education—including specific recommendations for how
members of the campus community can get involved.
