Appreciative Inquiry exercise happening: OA success at #westernu is being leaders (not followers) and advocates for big change. #OpenAccessWeek2019

[Alison Wetheral @aliweths]

How do we solve the collective action problem in OA? We need a strategic, social plan that we all help achieve. Interesting discussion happening with audience and panelists. #OpenAccessWeek2019

[Alison Wetheral @aliweths]

Erudit is expanding to partner with libraries to create a platform for Open Access content. One solution! #OpenAccessWeek2019 #letstalkaboutit

[Alison Wetheral @aliweths]

What should people do about OA? Give merit for OA. Create OA policy. Educate students. Retain copyright. Promote Open Educational Resources. Build open infrastructure. @westernulibs #OpenAccessWeek2019

[Alison Wetheral @aliweths]

Barriers to OA: inequitable access to funding for OA, knowledge about publishing OA, the undermined value of OA, myths about authors paying out of pocket for OA publication, inertia in the information economy, power of commercial publishers, copyright issues.. #OpenAccessWeek2019
