CE 1102 Roger Reka and Pascal Calarco - Reclaiming the Knowledge Commons Through Community Practice 

Research libraries aim to make information freely available to all readers – reclaiming our knowledge commons back to academe -- breaking down barriers to information and creating a more collaborative and transparent scholarly ecosystem. We have several core concepts and tools that we leverage collectively to help in this ambitious task – the principles of Open Access, Open Data, and the Creative Commons and publishing processes around them. By fostering collaboration and embracing these open practices, we strive to maximize the global impact of research, ensuring that knowledge is not only freely accessible but also shareable and reusable. Join us in this crucial call to action, and empower yourself for a more open future.
