Open Access Week is a week long set of activities that focus on the promotion of events, activities, lectures and other activities surrounding the open access of academic materials. Open Access week began in the mid 2000's and has since progressed to an international movement.
SMU honors and promotes this movement each year, aiming to archive each presentation and speaker, by highlighting speakers, events and activities that promote open access as a movement.
