Beyond STEM: Mapping the New Open Access Landscape
Early researchers in physics, medicine, and the sciences saw the potential of the internet before almost anyone else, removing barriers and accelerating discovery with STEM-driven open access (OA) content. How did the OA movement shift from a grassroots initiative to the blueprint for global academic publishing—and in what ways does it continue to evolve today?
Join us for the August installment of our OA Master Class for Public Libraries, where we’ll discuss how scientific pioneers democratized scholarly communication and dig into data on the top 25 most frequently occurring subject areas in open access publishing.
Together, we will:
- Trace how open access grew from its STEM origins into a true multidisciplinary movement
- Look at what is available now — from the sciences to the arts, law, humanities, and business — and how that broad coverage can meet the research needs of your patrons
- Discuss practical ways to point patrons toward trustworthy open access resources, no matter what they're researching
- Learn how CloudSource OA can help you put that full range in front of patrons — providing access to 95M+ open resources across every field, with no barriers or logins
See how genuine multidisciplinary equilibrium across the OA landscape means more free, credible resources for the increasingly complex questions your patrons bring to the desk, across every subject they care about. Register today.
