Open Access Week is your chance to explore how open access publishing expands the reach of research and supports a more equitable scholarly world. Open Access means that information is freely available, published digitally, and has few restrictions on its use or reproduction. 

Join us at Scott and Gutman Libraries to celebrate!

Stop by our tables to:

  • Learn about open access publishing and how Jefferson supports authors
  • Test your knowledge with a quick game—earn snacks and prizes
  • Discover how open access benefits both researchers and readers worldwide
