Registration

Presented by Hannah Madonna, Arts and Humanities Librarian, University Libraries

Please join us for a session on different OA resources to help support your research. We’ll look at Open Educational Resources (OERs): what they are, the advantages and disadvantages, how to find, use and share them. OERs can be a great way to help cut some costs and increase student access to learning materials. We’ll also look at Unpaywall to find available versions of scholarly articles; DOAJ, a searchable directory of open access journals; and other various OA resources. These are a great way to “open up” your research, and make the scholarly conversation a more equitable, collaborative one!

Virtual attendees MUST register in order to receive the meeting links for the sessions. Registration is strongly encouraged but not strictly required for in-person attendees. Please contact AquilaStaff@usm.edu if you have any questions.
