facilitators, and advocates between authors and publishers.

journals publishing followed by an in-depth discussion about OA from
three different perspectives:
1. The Librarian Perspective: Charles Eckman, University Librarian and

“Patrons don't care whether the content is "free" or "paid" as long as
it is free to them. They just want resources that are applicable to
their research needs.” Reference and Research Librarian, Discovery of
Free Online Content survey
Following on from our survey: Discovery of Free Online Content, we’d
like to invite you to share your views on the some of the fascinating
insights we received from your comments. We had over 400 responses to
our survey so thank you to everyone that participated! We thought what
better way to celebrate free online content, than to throw a Twitter
party during Open Access Week.
Date: Thursday, October 24, 2013
Time: 10:00 AM, EDT
The hash tag for this event is: #tfdiscovery hosted on the Library
Lantern Twitter account www.twitter.com/LibraryLantern.
Why should you attend the Taylor & Francis Twitter Party?
- Discuss and exchange ideas with fellow librarians on promoting content
at your institution.
- Keep up to date with the latest trends in the library community in
regards to free content and how this can be applied to your institution.
- Be part of a conversation that will shape the way the library
community facilitate, promote and distribute free content.
