[Ottawa_users] Fwd: Open Access Week at the Library

[Sampson, David]

The Ottawa public library, last I checked
(http://computersforcommunities.ca/en/blog/ottawa_public_libray_adopts_n
onlinux_friendly_digital_media), provided DRM versions of some books
non-accessbile to Linux users. Does Carleton ensure that all resources
are avaialble cross platform?
 
Cheers

		Dear Faculty,
		Please join Carleton University Library in celebrating

the University of Ottawa, and the International Development Resource
Centre (IDRC), this event promises an informative week of programming on
many aspects of Open Access, with guest speakers such as Michael Geist,
Open Access advocate and professor, and Stephen Choi, editor of Open
Medicine.  View the full schedule of events

		What is Open Access?
		
		Open Access provides readers with barrier-free access to
journal articles and digital information published on the Web.  Open
Access publications are free of most copyright and licence restrictions
and there is no fee for accessing, printing or downloading material.
Open Access promotes sharing and collaborating among researchers and may
increase the visibility, dissemination and citation rates of published
articles.
