[Danny Kingsley]

<Apologies for cross posting>

Hello all,

Today's happenings for Open Access week at the Office of Scholarly 
Communication.

*Blog*

Today's blog is written by Dr Lauren Cadwallader about her experience 
working on a research project where she attempted to work entirely 
openly. /*Walking the talk - reflections on working 'openly'*/ - 
https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=975 discusses the 
challenge and what researchers need to consider.

*Announcements*
The Office of Scholarly Communication is excited to be announcing that 
we will be working together with the Wellcome Trust on *a project to 
experiment with opening up research*. Details will be released shortly 
but from January 2017 we will be hoping to work with a small number of 
Cambridge research groups on the project. Sign up for our monthly 
newsletter not to miss the announcement

Today we launch our much awaited Copyright help pages 
http://osc.cam.ac.uk/copyright which have been developed in response to 
the many queries members of our library staff have received from our 
researchers and students over the past few years. We hope they are useful.

*Events*
Today you can watch the livestream of our event */"Preprints: biomedical 
science publication in the era of Twitter and Facebook"/*
