Open Access Day 2009 at OSU was a success.  We had a crowd of between 40 and 50 people (depending on who counted them and when) to hear a thought-provoking panel of speakers.  If you missed it, you can still go here to view the broadcast.  We’re already thinking about topics and formats for next year.  Some of the topics that caught my attention include how open access publishing may change the promotion and tenure process; the need for information about self-archiving options, including OSU’s repository, the Knowledge Bank; issues with regard to retaining and transferring the author’s copyright during the scholarly publishing process; and how open access publishing can assist with information needs in developing countries.
