The Open Publishing Guide was recently asked to participate in the first annual International Open Access Week sponsored by The Wallace Center's Teaching, Learning, & Scholarship Services. Rachael Gootnick along with Sean Conklin, gave a short presentation about Self-Publishing and the freely available website, The Open Publishing Guide. Attended by about 50 students and a handful of faculty and staff from the RIT community, the event took place in the VIA lab of the Wallace Center, on Monday October 19th, 2009 at 2pm.

International Open Access Week is from October 19-23 and has participants from all over the world. Its main focus is the idea that all research should be made freely, and widely available for the world to access online. For more information about this week long event please visit www.openaccessweek.org. A PDF document of the presentation is available below.
