Now is the time. October 20\u201326 is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openaccessweek.org\/page\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Open Access Week <\/a>(OAW), during which seminars will be conducted\u00a0all over the world on the subject of open access publishing. What can you learn? I signed onto the <a title=\"Open Access Directory\" href=\"http:\/\/oad.simmons.edu\/oadwiki\/2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Open Access Directory\u2019s events list<\/a> to find out.<\/p>\n<h2>Universities<\/h2>\n<p>Scores, if not hundreds, of universities offer a variety of free seminars during OAW. For example, at Ohio State University you can learn about the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to disseminate your work online<\/li>\n<li>Creating a website or blog to showcase your research<\/li>\n<li>Options for publishing digital content at the university<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The University of Central Florida offers an all-day seminar with speakers from IEEE, Springer, Gale, and Taylor &amp; Francis giving their perspective on open access publishing. Other topics include blogging and tweeting your open access work; lost data, the specter of the information age; and open access and scholarship in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Auckland University of Technology hosts seminars on October 21\u201323 on the subject of the basics of OA publishing, its <a title=\"How Open-Access Journals Pose A Threat To Aging Academic Publications?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/do-open-access-journals-pose-threat-to-big-publications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pros and cons<\/a>, and how to make use of the options available.<\/p>\n<h2>Online Seminars<\/h2>\n<p>Not all seminars are on campus. Some are conducted\u00a0online and are open to all. For example, Victoria University in Australia offers a lunchtime webinar on October 23 on <a title=\"Open Access: Green or Gold?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/open-access-green-or-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open access publishing models<\/a>, hybrid models, and open monographs.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Resources<\/h2>\n<p>Browsing through the open access week offerings can turn up other useful information. <a title=\"Impact Story\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.impactstory.org\/open-access-week-2014-custom-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Impactstory<\/a> offers customized OAW presentations on these topics: How to get credit for practicing open science, Altmetrics 101, Why Open Research is critical to your career. \u201cPrivate screenings\u201d may also\u00a0be arranged by contacting the organizer. For a university with many parties interested in open access publishing, this would be a fine option. Besides the Open Access Directory\u2019s lists, skim through the Open Access Week website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openaccessweek.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/www.openaccessweek.org\/<\/a> to find out what resources might be available.<\/p>\n<h2>Inspiration For the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Does your university offer seminars during OAW? If not, scanning through the resources above should give you plenty of ideas on how you might sponsor a seminar next year. Whether lunch-hour session, all-day seminar, or online program, there is sure to be a way to spread the word about the possibilities of open access publishing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex; gap:10px;justify-content:\" class=\"wps-pgfw-pdf-generate-icon__wrapper-frontend\">\n\t\t<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2512?action=genpdf&amp;id=2512\" class=\"pgfw-single-pdf-download-button\" ><img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-generator-for-wp\/admin\/src\/images\/PDF_Tray.svg\" title=\"Generate PDF\" style=\"width:auto; height:45px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn more about open access publishing?
