ABOUT THE WEBINAR

The publication and management of Open Access material now plays a
central role in the academic research infrastructure, although its
impact may differ across disciplines. If, as Heather Joseph of SPARC
has written in College and Research Library News, "the full
accessibility and utility of articles is a critical part of the design
of the research system," then how can the library ensure that this
material, which may be generated via an array of various processes
from multiple sources, is easily available for its patrons to discover
and use? Join NISO's presenters for a lively discussion on this timely
topic.
