Seeking feedback on Open Access publication funding

On Wednesday, May 2, 2012, the University Libraries and the Office of the Provost held a faculty forum to discuss the possibility of creating a fund to help Mason faculty publish in open access journals. A copy of the presentation slides is available through MARS (http://digilib.gmu.edu:8080/dspace/handle/1920/7542) A video recording of the forum will also be posted on the Scholarly Communication at Mason website (scholarly.gmu.edu) as soon as it is available.
Whether or not you were able to attend the forum, you’re welcome to share your thoughts about the possibility of creating the open access publishing fund at Mason.
