movement for open access to publications - that is, publications

been steadily gaining momentum. With the National Institute
of Health's open access policy as well as those at Harvard and MIT,
it is important to understand the different forms of open access
that are available. Come to this workshop to learn about open access
journals as well as self-archiving your work into a repository such
as Illinois' IDEALS (http://www.ideals.illinois.edu/).

to find answers to your questions.

the web? Come to this session and learn about what your rights as an author
are and how to negotiate with publishers for the rights that you need to retain.
