Has the Open Access Movement Ossified? What Gains Remain to be Had and What Work Needs to be Done
As the 10th annual Open Access (OA) week begins, it is important to not just celebrate the gains made but also interrogate what the future holds for the OA movement.
Michael B. McNally from the School of Library and Information Studies will argue that with many substantive gains already made, from the adoption of OA in various funding models to the emergence (and capture) of OA as business model for scholarly publishing, that the OA movement has evolved into an increasingly ossified movement. The dream of OA as the mode for scholarly communication is dead.

Dale Askey, Vice-Provost and Chief Librarian, will respond to the presentation and provide his insights on what the future of scholarly publishing holds and what this means for advocates OA advocates. After the presentation and response there will be time for questions and discussion with the audience.
