A datapoint, useful to those gauging the degree of engagement of academic librarians in open access

We had a lovely presentation at MPOW today, by a well-known academic in the messy intersection of science and education, about a new open-access journal he’s helping launch. The presentation has been advertised for a week, sent out to the big library listserv at MPOW at least twice, and put up on the daily events calendar at the main library.

Fewer than ten librarians attended.

Just a datapoint. If I say any more I’ll dunk myself in the soup.
