Film Screening: "Paywall: The Business of Scholarship" In-Person

Please join us in the Library for a screening of the film, "Paywall: The Business of Scholarship." This event is part of Open Access Week.

Have you ever clicked on an article, seen a request for payment, and just closed the whole thing? This documentary “focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google.”

When: Tuesday, October 23 from 12:15-1:15pm
Where: LI 3079
