## About Open Access Week

#### Who Owns Our Knowledge?

The libraries are celebrating [International Open Access Week](https://www.openaccessweek.org/) (October 20-24),

Join the JH libraries (Arthur Friedham, The Sheridan Libraries, and Welch Medical Library) October 20-24 to learn more about open access, copyright, and publishing. This year’s theme asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control of the knowledge they produce.  JH Libraries are presenting a number of events geared at helping JH researchers and students understand more about open access and how it can bring a wider audience and impact to your work.

Check out our **[OA Week Events](https://browse.welch.jhmi.edu/c.php?g=245924&p=11146778)**

If you require a reasonable accommodation to enjoy and participate in Open Access Week events, or if you have questions or feedback, please direct your inquiries to **[scholcomm@jh.edu](mailto:scholcomm@jh.edu)**.
