Open Scholarship 101: Starting the Conversation

Speakers: Michelle Dalton, UCD; David Hughes, ETBI; Rhoda Kerins, DEPR; Aoife Lawton, HSE; John Shortall, Carlow County Library

Topics: Open Access library resources; Open Education Resources; Government Open Data; Open Scholarship in Health libraries; Open Scholarship and Public libraries.

Each speaker will present for 5 minutes with examples of Open Scholarship in practice. This will be followed by a round-table panel discussion and Q&As from the audience. Interactive polls will also be included.

No prior knowledge of Open Scholarship is expected. Indeed, the event is meant for anyone - from any library sector (or none) - who may have heard the terms open access, open science, open source, open research, etc. and wants to know more. This is your opportunity to find out.

Registration: Attendance is open to everyone and is free of charge.
