Open Access --  Know Your Rights and Expand Your Impact!

CHAPEL HILL -- Open Access has been a boon for many authors, researchers, 
and students. But new technologies bring new questions about intellectual 
property, peer review, and equitable access for all.

Heather Joseph, Director of SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources 
Coalition) will lead a panel of local scholars on April 25 in a lively, 
interactive discussion on topics such as:

Dispelling myths about open access
Negotiating and retaining author's rights
Choosing the best publishing options for the author AND the audience

Before becoming Director of SPARC in 2006, Ms. Joseph was President and Chief 
Operating Officer for BioOne, which focused on helping small scholarly 
societies in the biological sciences remain independent and competitive in the 
electronic arena. For her work with BioOne, she received the 2002 Association 
of Learned and Professional Society Publishers' Award for Services to 
Not-for-Profit Publishing.

Pre-registration is requested for this event.
