Open access (OA) is a new normal in scholarly publishing, where scholarly writings are available free online, with limited or no copyright restrictions, allowing authors to retain the rights to their work, including the right to circulate their scholarship widely through their own networks, without permission from the publisher. International Open Access Week is an annual event that takes place the last week in October.

The UCSB Library will be celebrating International Open Access Week October 23-27 with an information table in the Library Paseo, and on November 2, at a This is What Open Access Looks Like! wine and cheese reception, honoring UCSB authors of OA books, OA journal editors, and OA publishers. All are welcome.
