<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">It is Wednesday and we are halfway through Open Access week, but there is no slowing down. Of us, or the hits on Professor Hawking’s thesis. If you are interested in seeing the level of media coverage this
announcement has generated, have a look - <o:p></o:p><a href="https://cambridge.altmetric.com/details/25154696" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); font-size: 15px;">https://cambridge.altmetric.com/details/25154696</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><b>Blog<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">When the British Library approached the Office of Scholarly Communication with the offer of low price digitisation of microfilmed theses we were in a bind. With only enough funds to digitise 10% of the
14,000 theses the BL held on microfilm, we needed to make decisions about which theses to choose. This blog ‘Choosing from a cornucopia: a digitisation project’ <a href="https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1718" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1718</a> discusses
the decision making we underwent to ensure the project digitised the theses most likely to be used into the future.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b><font size="3">Announcement </font>–<font size="3"> Boosting the thesis count<o:p></o:p></font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">The Office of Scholarly Communication is pleased to announce that 1,400 newly digitised theses will be shortly made available in the repository Apollo. These are works that were part of the large collection
of University of Cambridge microfilmed theses held in physical form in the British Library. Now, thanks to a digitisation and deposit project due to conclude in November of this year, readers will be able to find and request copies of these works through the
Apollo repository <a href="https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/249240" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/249240</a>. Find out more about how the theses were chosen from the full collection of 14,000 works
in the British Library, read the blog (see above).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><b style="font-size: 15px;"><font size="3">Announcement </font>–<font size="3"> Disseminating a new brand</font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">Our second announcement today involves the Office of Scholarly Communication’s brand. We have been closely working with Lihua Zhu of the University Library Digital Services team to develop a new and improved
brand encompassing the OSC, the Open Access team, the Research Data Facility and the Theses Management team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">The universal padlock symbol for open access was a no-brainer, and coming up with a logo to represent the Research Data Facility we wanted to symbolise the sharing a reuse of data, with a joined up approach.
There was much discussion over the thickness of the arrow lines! When brainstorming for a theme to tie together the whole under the banner of the OSC, we thought in much more abstract terms. A dandelion was chosen, representing the vast free dissemination
of knowledge that the Office prides as a cornerstone of our mission. Such humble flowers can reach across great distances, as we hope to do with our message of free and open research for all.<o:p></o:p></p>
