October 14: Open Access Day
SPARC and the usual suspects (now there’s a band name for you) are sponsoring an Open Access Day on October 14. There will be videos, local events (MPOW has already said it will be involved), plenty of useful gankable marketing materials, swag, and a blog contest which I tell you right this identical minute I intend to enter (if they’ll let me) and win.
Seriously. Beat me. I double-dawg-dare every single last one of you. (No, of course this post isn’t my entry, stop it!)
In the tradition of the Hi-Fi Sci-Fi Library, I am more than mildly tempted to record my Desultory E-Scholarship Philippic, but I don’t know that Paul Simon would approve, so we’ll let it go.
Anyway, I earnestly hope my academic-libraryland and faculty readers will decide to participate in this. Lend a hand to your local repo-rat!
