I found this is really useful for this week's topic! Thank you for sharing!

This document provides a great understanding of Open Access in an efficient way. Thanks for sharing

Part of NAVA's professional development session on social media for artists, Zoë Rodriguez from the Copyright Agency Limited discusses digital copyright, contracts and moral rights. (New Zealand) We live in a global world - if you use someone's work from another country, take note of their copyright laws.

useful thank you

Great post. It's always nice to get insight into the "bigger picture" when talking about complicated laws like copyright instead of just isolated incidents.

Now this picture is something else.... but sharing a classroom with instructor and others is great!

En estos momentos, quién más y quién menos en ámbitos como el académico, el editorial o el bibliotecario, ha oído hablar del acceso abierto (open access) a la información científica, es decir, de la disponibilidad libre y gratuita de los contenidos científicos en internet. Es en pocas palabras un modelo de difusión del conocimiento científico que supone en última instancia un cambio radical en el funcionamiento de la comunicación científica.

Open Access Resources aims to remove constraints in access to articles and knowledge for academic-intellectual world community, particularly in the developing countries. Scientists from these countries still have trouble posting their works due to limitations of network access, institutional economic difficulties and lack of information about solutions available Open Access. It is expected that the Open Access increase understanding of educational and research opportunities to unite the world.

La realidad que se vive en México es muy distinta a países como EUA, Cánada,Alemania, etc., existe una gran desigualdad y no hay unión. Tal vez estas leyes no den resultados inmediatos, pero son importantes por que quienes las promovieron creyeron en ellas y las apoyaron, y en un país como México es de reconocerse que tuvieron iniciativa. Una ley no va cambiar la realidad de un país, eso depende de las personas y otros factores como la educación y los valores. ------------ The reality of life in Mexico is very different to countries like USA, Canada, Germany, etc., there is great inequality and no union. Perhaps these laws do not give immediate results, but are important because they promoted those who believed in them and supported them, and in a country like Mexico is recognized that took initiative. A law will not change the reality of a country that depends on people and other factors such as education and values.

Me encontré con esta interesante reseña acerca de las políticas de acceso abierto en México.

A cool vídeo that explains the concept and utility of the connected learning.

Recientemente ha armado bastante revuelo la publicación de un artículo en la famosa revista Science Magazine bajo el título "¿Quién teme a la revisión por pares? Un artículo trampa elaborado por Science descubre escaso o nulo rigor en muchas revistas de acceso abierto". En este "estudio" (no sé muy bien cómo llamarlo), el periodista John...

¿Qué es eso de publicar en abierto?, pues ni mas ni menos es un modelo de difusión de la ciencia que supone en última instancia un cambio radical en el funcionamiento de la comunicación científica.

Open Access Week is less than a month away! Now in its eighth year, Open Access Week is an international event that celebrates the wide-ranging benefits of enabling open access to information and research-as well as the dangerous costs of keeping knowledge locked behind publisher paywalls.

Hi Kim, Thanks for sharing! Until now, I'd never heard of Open Access Week. I'd love to hear how both you and Federico have been involved in the past and what your communities (both online and off, local and nonlocal) have done to highlight open access during this week. I did a bit of searching, and it turns out that my school has a whole series of events planned for OEW, including some super interesting sounding lecture and a few documentary screenings. I'm very excited! http://oaweek.open.ubc.ca/ Amanda

Knowledge should be able to share with people, knowledge should not be trapped behind a paywall. For those who needs the information but couldn't get the information because they need to pay for it, this doesn't make any sense to me. So many paper and research by scientists are funding by government which the tax payers have contributed a lot on funding. Thus people should have access to those information.
