This discussion will focus on recent changes in academic publishing and how they impact faculty. Facilitated by Scholarly Communications Librarian Charlotte Roh, this event will cover the cancellation between the University of California and Elsevier, open access efforts, and how the USF faculty’s open access policy operates in this context.

Speakers will include Anneliese Taylor, Head of Scholarly Communication at the University of California, San Francisco, and Richard Schneider, member of the UC System-wide Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication (UCOLASC) of the Academic Senate.
 

***This event will take place in the Zief Law Library, Terrace Room.***
