Free registration is open for the 6th annual DU Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Symposium. Some of the questions to be addressed this year:
Information is not free. There are costs to its creation, distribution and access despite the current movements to make it “free or freely accessible”. What are these costs, hidden and otherwise? Who pays? Who benefits? What are the implications for researchers? What does this mean for publishers? Who the heck is in charge?
