[Libs-Or] OSU Library Faculty Association Seminar Series Invitation

[Mellinger, Margaret]

All are invited to attend the third seminar of the OSU Libraries’ Library Faculty Association Seminar Series for this school year. The topic is: SciHub, Open Access Pirates, and You: Librarians on the High Seas

The seminar will take place on Friday, February  16, 2018  from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm in the Willamette Seminar Rooms (Valley 3622) on the 3rd floor of the Valley Library. Light refreshments will be provided.

Description:  Three panelists (joining us virtually)  will provide an overview of the use of popular illicit resource sharing tools and systems including SciHub, Library Genesis, and #icanhazpdf. Their presentation will explore what users think of the potential copyright infringements from this pirated content. They’ll also review some empirical evidence in order to place these non-library resource sharing methods in context with their legal library counterparts. What motivates people who engage in this resource sharing? Do they have access through libraries? And what are the implications for libraries and librarians when it comes to education and the scholarly communication landscape?
