Curating the Scholarly Record

As part of the international celebrations to mark Open Access Week (24-30th October 2016) Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) hosted a number of events to encourage debate and discussion about the future of open access.

CMU has set out strategic plans for its libraries, with commitments to curating its data, publications, software, and other products of the research process. By developing an infrastructure built around information specialists as partners in research, teaching, and learning, CMU aims to become a leader in the best practice of scholarly communication.

Our Managing Director, Daniel Hook, was invited to take part in the session titled:
