> Open Access Week declared for 2009
> Popular global event extended over one week, October 19 – 23
> 
> Washington, DC – March 5, 2009 – To accommodate widespread global
> interest in the movement toward Open Access to scholarly research
> results, October 19 – 23, 2009 will mark the first international Open
> Access Week. The now-annual event, expanded from one day to a full
> week, presents an opportunity to broaden awareness and understanding
> of Open Access to research, including access policies from all types
> of research funders, within the international higher education
> community and the general public. 
> 
> Open Access Week builds on the momentum generated by the 120 campuses
> in 27 countries that celebrated Open Access Day in 2008. Event
> organizers SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources
> Coalition), the Public Library of Science (PLoS), and Students for
> FreeCulture welcome key new contributors, who will help to enhance and
> expand the global reach of this popular event in 2009: eIFL.net
> (Electronic Information for Libraries), OASIS (the Open Access
> Scholarly Information Sourcebook); and the Open Access Directory
> (OAD).
> 
> “I’m participating in Open Access Week again this year because I want
> to shed light on the tremendous potential of Open Access,” said
> Allyson Mower, Scholarly Communications & Copyright Librarian for the
> University of Utah’s Marriott Library. “People searching for
> information usually consume whatever is readily available. Open Access
> ensures that quality information is at people’s fingertips.”
> 
> “eIFL.net works to make intellectual outputs of developing and
> transitional countries more visible and more easily accessible,” added
> Rima Kupryte, Director of eIFL.net. “We believe that Open Access
> contributes to improved education, teaching, and research, and
> accelerates innovations and economical developments in these
> countries.  Open Access Week is a great opportunity to promote Open
> Access globally.”
> 
> This year’s program will highlight educational resources on Open
> Access that local hosts can use to customize their own programs to
> suit local audiences and time zones. OASIS will serve as the
> centerpiece of the 2009 program, delivering resources for every
> constituency and every awareness level. The Open Access Directory will
> again provide an index of participants on five continents, as well as
> their growing clearinghouse for all OA resources. Through the
> collaborative functionality of the two initiatives, OA videos,
> briefing papers, podcasts, slideshows, posters and other informative
> tools will be drawn from all over the Web to be highlighted during
> Open Access Week.
> 
> The organizers will also work with registrants to develop a variety of
> sample program tracks, such as “Administrators’ introduction to campus
> open-access policies and funds,” “OA 101,” and “Complying with the NIH
> public access policy” that take full advantage of available tools.
> Participants are invited to adapt these resources for local use, and
> to mark Open Access Week by hosting an event, distributing literature,
> blogging -- or even just wearing an Open Access t-shirt. 
> 
> “After the success of last year’s Open Access Day, we’re delighted to
> be co-organizing the first ever Open Access Week with our fellow
> collaborators, again in conjunction with the anniversary of one of our
> flagship journals,” said Peter Jerram, CEO for the Public Library of
> Science. “We ask our supporters to celebrate the fifth anniversary of
> PLoS Medicine by spreading the word about Open Access and getting
> involved in the week.” 
> 
> “There’s no more certain sign of the momentum behind Open Access to
> research than an annual, global celebration of this scale,” added
> Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC. “Occasions like this are
> the best possible way to attract attention from busy faculty members
> and administrators, and to demonstrate the widespread appeal of Open
> Access. It’s SPARC’s pleasure to be working with our partners to
> realize the event once again this year.”
