Open-access publishing set for discussion Oct. 20
The discussion, which is open only to UD faculty, students and staff, will be held during the University Faculty Forum in the Trabant Multipurpose Room. A free buffet lunch will be served. The forum is sponsored by the Office of the Provost. Open-access publishing is no-fee Internet access to works and data that are currently given away to publishers by researchers and scholars with no expectation of financial payment. Open access is considered an effective means to ensure broad distribution and use of information for public good. Williams has held his current position since 1988.
