Dr Stephen Pinfield, CIO and Director of the Centre for Research Communications at the University of Nottingham will give a seminar on the Open Agenda this afternoon at 4 pm in Room 204 followed by tea/coffee and biscuits/cookies in the iSchool Common Room. Stephen will discuss strategies for providing Open Access to a range of organisational resources - scholarly publications, research data, educational resources and more.
This event also offers a timely opportunity to discuss the recent announcement of government plans to require open access to publicly funded research - see BBC News at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17921442 and The Guardian at http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/01/open-free-access-academic-research.
