Mandatory open access: friend or foe?

I'm speaking at the UConn Libraries Spring Forum next week, and that's the forum's title. My answer to the question? “Yes and no.” We're going to be videotaped and the library will post a video. When they do, I'll post a link here.

In the meantime, if you're in the area and interested, please stop by. There's no admission fee1, and the forum is scheduled to run from 3-5pm in the Konover Auditorium of the Dodd Center. Refreshments will be available at 2:30. Here's a fllyer providing details, and here's a link to the the UConn President's blog that mentions it.

I'll post a few notes from the forum next Thursday or Friday.

1I hope my presentation is worth more than you'll pay to see it. I know that my co-presenters are worth hearing.
