Nancy Sims to speak about open access publishing model
The University of St. Thomas libraries are pleased to host an event
with Nancy Sims, who will speak about the issues and challenges of the
open access publishing movement, which has the potential of increasing
the visibility, access to and sharing of faculty
scholarly research.
Nancy is the Copyright Program Librarian at the University of
Minnesota libraries with a JD from the University of Michigan Law
School, and an MLIS from Rutgers University. She says that her job is
not to be the “copyright police” on her campus, but
to help individuals and groups throughout the University community to
understand issues surrounding copyright and scholarly communication.
Nancy says that she is fascinated by copyright law in all of its
aspects, and in particular, how individuals construct
understandings of copyright as it relates to their own scholarly,
artistic, professional, personal, cultural, and communicative
activities.
She has published articles and presented at conferences about copyright issues, technology, and emerging forms of scholarship.
Nancy Sims’ presentation and question and answer period will be in McNeely Hall 100 from 3:00 – 4:30 on Thursday, December 13th This event is free and open to the public and refreshments
will be served.
You will find a map to McNeely Hall here.
If you have any questions please let me know.
