Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of open access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make open access a new norm in scholarship and research. The theme of Open Access Week 2024 is “Community over Commercialization,” prioritizing approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community. The following list includes events, blog posts, resources, and exhibits from ARL member libraries in celebration of Open Access Week 2024 (October 21–27).
