Description

Take a break and create! Transform Open Access articles and materials into poems you can keep in hand-crafted notebooks from Book Arts.

Knowledge creation is a collaborative endeavor. But most academic research is locked behind paywalls, available only to those in high-resource communities and institutions. Open Access publishing offers another way, making research available to anyone with an internet connection. As part of International Open Access Week, we invite you to reimagine Open Access texts by redacting words so that a unique poem emerges. The New York Times interactive blackout poetry tool gives you a sense of the possibilities. Pop in anytime from 1pm-4pm to join the celebration.
