What’s better than watching a documentary on the current state of academic publishing? Watching it with your scholarly communications community! Join us for a virtual viewing of “Paywall: The Business of Scholarship”.  Use UberConference’s chat feature to chat about the film while watching. To ensure that everyone has video and sound, everyone will need to have access to the video either by downloading the MPEG4 file or by queuing up the film on Vimeo. Runtime is 1:04.
