Did you miss our Open Scholarship symposium?

Video presentations from the event are now available.

As part of international Open Access Week 2012, the Library was pleased to host the Open Scholarship: Research and Publication symposium on October 25. The event was one of three major Open Access events in Australia.

Our guest speakers included:

• Professor Christoph Antons, School of Law, Deakin University
• Professor Anne Fitzgerald, Creative Commons Australia
• Mr David Tempest and Ms Macy Lee, Elsevier publishers.

The event enabled University staff, students and the broader education community to explore open access practices from the perspective of academics, researchers, and publishers.

Held at the Melbourne Burwood Campus, the event attracted an audience of more than 90, with an additional 81 connecting online through live streaming. The hash tag #openscholarship allowed for the conversations to be continued in Twitter.

We recorded the presentations and they are now available through Deakin Research Online.
