Open Access Day

This event didn't make the Upcoming Events section of the September OSBR as I only saw it mentioned in passing yesterday at Michael Geist's blog.

October 14 is the first annual Open Access Day. Live global broadcasts are planned for 19:00 EST and PST and several dozen universities will be participating. Details on the schedule and how to participate are here.

Peter Suber's website is an excellent place to start to learn more about open access. The February 2008 issue of the OSBR also explores the issues surrounding open access.
