Join us for critical conversation, collaboration, and action. Topics
include disappearing data, censorship, vanishing research funding, and the
resilience of open access initiatives across borders. Researchers,
librarians, publishers, and civic leaders are encouraged to participate,
especially those working in politically repressive or underfunded
environments. Sessions will not be recorded, so grab your seat at the
table.
Together, we will build and strategize sustainable, inclusive responses to
defend the integrity of scholarly communication.
If you have any questions, please contact Dawn Hackman, Health Sciences and
Scholarly Communications Librarian, San José State University Library, at
