Canada's granting agencies have undertaken varying strategies to address open access. Panelists from CIHR, SSHRC and NSERC will share their agencies' approaches to open access. Agencies with an open access mandate will describe their process and address issues that they encountered along the way. Those without a mandate will share how their agency views open access and describe initiatives that have been undertaken to support open access.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN OPEN SCHOLAR AND THE FUTURE OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATIONS
Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010
Speaker: Stian Haklev, BA (UTSC), MA (OISE), PhD candidate (OISE)
Time: 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Location: OISE Library (252 Bloor Street West), Ground Floor
As scholars, we want to make our work widely known, and to receive recognition for our achievements. As educational researchers, we have a special interest in making our research available to those who can practically benefit from it: teachers, school boards, parents and politicians. Open Access to our research publications is an important first step, but we can go much further than this. Scholars in all fields are experimenting with many innovative ways of sharing their research, both during the research process, and afterward. This presentation will introduce a number of case studies, discuss advantages and challenges in making your research more open, and outline trends in the future of scholarly communications.

Elementary Schools and Teachers in Ontario, 1910-1915 and Today: Collections in the OISE Library
Curious about how much an Ontario elementary teacher would have earned 100 years ago? What kind of teacher training new teachers would have received? What kind of textbooks students would have used? Or maybe you'd just like to see if you would have been able to pass a 1911 high school entrance exam! Join Marian Press, Kathy Imrie, and Monique Flaccavento for a hands-on session as we explore materials from our Historical and Curriculum Resources Collections. Some of the differences between elementary schools and teachers between 1910 & 1915 and those of today will be illustrated using unique resources from our collection.
When? 12-1pm, February 24th
Where? The Ground Floor of the Library
Who? No need to sign up! The event is open to all University of Toronto students, staff, and faculty.
