Event Series Description

The Pathfinder Projects and Jisc warmly invite you to a summer series of open access (OA) events to celebrate the end of the two-year Open Access Good Practice (OAGP) initiative.

The work undertaken over the last two years by the nine community-led Pathfinder Projects falls under five themes: advocacy, cost management, workflows and structures, metadata and systems, and baselining and policy.

We are holding five events across the UK to showcase what has been achieved in these five categories.

All events are free and suitable for librarians, research officers, and other institutional support staff who work in the area of OA.

Baselining and Policy: 20th June, Jisc Offices, central London

At this event, hosted at the Jisc London offices, attendees will be introduced to a variety of tools and resources devised by project members to help with baselining an institution's progress towards adopting OA, as well as implementing OA policies. Project participants will also share their experiences of best practice approaches in these areas.

Breakout sessions in the afternoon will provide an opportunity for attendees to further discuss and explore best practice examples of implementing and encouraging compliance with OA policies at their institutions.
