Just a quick shout-out to UBC’s stellar team of librarians for their leadership in pulling together events for Open Access Week. Kudos for promoting some of the fantastic efforts across the campus dedicated to achieving a more accessible and public-minded university, the program looks excellent. More background here.

And of course, Open Access Week is not a UBC-only affair, it’s a genuinely global event. I hope you’ll consider taking some time to offer your support, maybe opening up your mind in the process.

Alas, I will not be at UBC next week, as I’m attending another openness related event in my favorite city. Please don’t hate me. OK, go ahead and hate me, but rest assured the karma train will be smacking me with some seriously intense payback soon enough…
