Call for Poster Session Proposals: The Academic Librarian in the Open Access Future (The Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries 2014 Symposium)

The Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries 2014 Symposium

Friday, December 5, 2014

The 2014 ACRL/NY Annual Symposium “The Academic Librarian in the Open Access Future” will consider new opportunities and real challenges for academic librarians as the movement toward open access (OA) begins to impact our users and our institutions in increasingly complex ways. 

Through case studies grounded in a range of institutional contexts, we will explore the role of librarians in the open access debate and projects. During small-group debriefing sessions, participants will have an opportunity to strategize with peers about how to support their users and find potential collaborators.
