UNCW Randall Library Presents Hall-O-A: Open Access Week 2022!

Randall Library will host workshops and demonstrations, consultation hours, panels, and film screenings throughout the week on topics related to open access and academic publishing for the whole campus community. Discussions, learning opportunities, and plenty of candy will be provided.

Have you ever wanted to make your research openly available or share your research data, only to find it would cost you? Many publishers charge fees in the thousands of dollars to make scholarly articles open access, for example. Randall Library, SPARC, and Research & Innovation have teamed up on this workshop to help you navigate funder mandates, grant budget lines, and resources available to you at UNCW and beyond.
Time: 5:00pm
Location: Randall Auditorium (second floor)
Randall Library's Open Access Week and Media Literacy Week present a screening of The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz.
"The Internet's Own Boy follows the story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz. From Swartz's help in the development of the basic internet protocol RSS to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over the internet. But it was Swartz's groundbreaking work in social justice and political organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access that ensnared him in a two-year legal nightmare. It was a battle that ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron's story touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he was a celebrity."
Time: 5:00pm
Location: Randall Auditorium (second floor)
Copyright doesn't have to be scary! Randall Library's Open Access Week and Media Literacy Week present a spooky screening of Carnival of Souls, a horror film in the public domain. Get a fright, an introduction to the film by Dr. Carlos Kase, and information on what public domain is, how you can use public domain materials, and other copyright topics at the same time!
"Carnival of Souls is a 1962 American independent horror film produced and directed by Herk Harvey and written by John Clifford from a story by Clifford and Harvey, and starring Candace Hilligoss. Its plot follows Mary Henry, a young woman whose life is disturbed after a car accident. She relocates to a new city, where she finds herself unable to assimilate with the locals, and becomes drawn to the pavilion of an abandoned carnival."
Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm

Predatory publishers lurk at the fringes of open access, charging article publication fees to unsuspecting authors without having any actual ethics, evaluation process, or even sometimes editorial board in place. Often they make false promises of speedy publishing or extensive indexing designed to lure articles to them. They are devious, but they can be avoided. This workshop, led by Scholarly Communications Librarian and seasoned predatory publisher spotter Allison Kittinger, will teach you the warning signs of predatory publishers so your work gets the treatment and audience it deserves.
