Details
Join the next OpenCon Librarian Community Call on Tuesday, October 14th at 12pm ET / 9am PT for a conversation reflecting on this year’s International Open Access Week theme, “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” (October 20–26, 2025).
This session will explore how libraries are engaging with the theme’s central questions about ownership, access, and equity in knowledge creation and sharing. Through an Etherpad, the discussion can highlight activities and initiatives aligned with community-driven approaches to open access, from supporting Diamond OA and Subscribe to Open models, to advancing practices that recognize diverse voices and challenge commercial control over scholarly communication.
OpenCon Librarian Community Calls are limited to those working in libraries, and registration is now required. You can register for the October call here.
