The UNT Libraries will be organizing a series of events for International Open Access Week in October 2015.

2015

The 2015 symposium will examine aspects of how the law relates to the open access movement, including copyright law, privacy law, access to government information, and access to and use of legal literature online. Copyright and privacy law are continually evolving with new developments in technology and society, and there are efforts both at universities and in private organizations to develop not only collections of resources but also tools to discover and use them.
