Dear All, We are forming an interest group to bring together folks who are interested in open access, open education, and open data in the Philadelphia area and surrounding regions. We hope this group can be a space for idea exchange, learning, and collaboration. We also hope the group will help us identify ways to work together across our campuses to collaborate on larger events and initiatives. You are invited to our first in-person meeting, on *Tuesday, September 25, from 3:00 PM-5:00 PM* at Temple University in Paley Library’s Lecture Hall. The first hour of the meeting will focus on Open Access Week 2018. We want to know: what are you doing on your campus to advance open access? What are you planning for Open Access Week? We hope to be able to share and brainstorm low-budget, high-impact ideas for folks to take back to their campuses. The second hour of the meeting will be left open for more informal networking. If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP here: https://goo.gl/forms/EnayWNvrOBK8MMnC3 If you cannot make the meeting but would like to stay in touch for future collaboration, there’s a space on the form to indicate that as well. Please feel free to forward to your colleagues and peers in the area!
