The program for UNT's Open Access Symposium 2016, featuring presentations and interactive sessions led by researchers and librarians based in the US, Canada, UK, and the Netherlands from various fields of study, is now available.
Alexandra Elbakyan, the founder of Sci-Hub who has been compared to Edward Snowden and Aaron Swartz, will speak at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 20. We will begin the day a half hour earlier than originally planned for this special presentation by Skype. We plan to record this and many other sessions during the symposium for viewing later.
