open access week 2021

The week of October 25-31 is International Open Access Week. What is Open Access Week? We're so glad you asked!

Let the Open Access Week Advisory Committee tell you: "Open Access Week is an opportunity for the global academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.
Open Access to information – the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need – has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. It has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole."

To celebrate, check out some of the events and recorded videos from the Open Access Week website. Read some open access research published in CSU ScholarWorks institutional repository! And upload your own work to share with a broad audience.

June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln presented the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slaves in confederate states finally received word that they were free.

Freedom is a thread, and a fight, woven through this nation's history and current political climate. Continue to take action to celebrate and ensure true freedom for all through awareness of racial disparities, mobilization, and bold actions necessary to further the fight for social justice and equal opportunity. (Sianna Brito.) To learn more, visit the NAACP's Juneteenth page.

Juneteenth Freedom Day

In honor of the Juneteenth celebration, the Cal Maritime Library has created a display of selected books.Please visit and take a look!

Rejecting Hate, Supporting the Community

Dear Cal Maritime community,

On Wednesday, September 8, Cal Maritime Library employees were alerted that a swastika had been carved into one of the Library tables. The Library has reported the anti-Semitic vandalism to the Department of Human Resources, Diversity & Inclusion and they are conducting an investigation.

The Cal Maritime Library condemns this symbol of Nazi hate and the intolerance that it represents. Anti-Semitism is often connected to other hatreds, such as homophobia, racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and we reject bigotry in all its forms. Actions which implicitly or explicitly threaten any community member threaten all of us. This incident occurs at a time when other derogatory vandalism has affected the campus community, and none of these ideologies should have a home on our campus.

The Library is committed to providing a welcoming environment that is safe and inclusive for all community members, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We affirm the California State University Policy on Discrimination and Harassment, which states that “The California State University (CSU) is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that values diversity and fosters tolerance and mutual respect.”

We want to be sure you know how to report incidents and concerns, and how to seek help for yourself or someone else:

Report an Incident: You can contact the University Police Department or use the Incident Reporting link on the Corps of Cadets website to report incidents, including hate crimes and vandalism.

Coping Resources: We encourage you to make use of the resources offered by CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services). CAPS is available to assist you with confidential counseling free of charge.
