A librarian seeking more information on Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data? Are you a professor curious about open research and interested in supporting more affordable textbooks for your students? Then OpenCon SWFL is for you!

This half-day event will provide an introduction to open research, discuss Open Educational Resources and affordable textbooks, and teach you how to advocate on your campus.
