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.

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!

Our Library search tool, OneSearch, recently got a behind-the-scenes upgrade. The underlying program that powers OneSearch, Primo VE, has been updated. Most of what you see when you search won't look any different than what you're used to. You may see more relevant search result rankings and a few other visible improvements here and there. If you have any existing saved book lists or bookmarks to specific titles from before, they should still work. Please let us know if you encounter any changes that you like, or any challenges!
