Virginia Tech Libraries, in partnership with the Graduate School, is celebrating Open Access  at Virginia Tech in honor of the sixth annual global Open Access Week. We are hosting a series of lectures and workshops to raise awareness of open access and options Virginia Tech scholars have for providing the widest possible access to their research and scholarship.

Virginia Tech Libraries is committed to promoting the value of open access and to providing Virginia Tech scholars with new open access options for showcasing their creative outputs. Virginia Tech raises the visibility of its research on a global scale when digital scholarship is made freely available online at no cost to readers. Sharing research and scholarship on the Open Web broadens its impact and creates a global readership. Providing access to everyone, not just institutions that can afford to purchase journal subscriptions, helps to inspire creativity, enable innovation and to accelerate the development of important new discoveries.

We encourage you to join us as we celebrate open access at Virginia Tech. Please see the full schedule of events for details.
