We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for presentations at the UNT Open Access Symosium 2019, to be held May 17, 2019, at the UNT Dallas College of Law. This year's theme is "Is Open Access An Answer for Access to Justice?" We invite brief proposals for presentations and interactive sessions to address questions such as:

• Is open access to primary legal sources necessary for access to justice? If so, what is required?
• Is open access to legal analysis and guidance necessary for access to justice?
• What is the role of information professionals as mediators of resources to best serve their communities?
• What are best practices for courts, the bar, and legal aid providers to use open access to legal information to promote access to justice?

Proposals are due Friday, January 11, 2019.  For more information, see the call for proposals.
