At TRU, we decided to simply do an open house on Monday from 1-4. We�re calling it Open Library and using it to talk about library services that support open scholarship and access, including our IRs, OER, research consultations, etc. We�re also in the midst of a strat plan, so our consultant is coming for �open� input. A bit of a stretch, but .... Given the broohaa here (https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/b-c-economist-locked-in-grim-battle-against-deceptive-scholarship) where a faculty member openly accused his colleagues and dean of publishing a lot in �predatory� journals and has since been banned from campus (not sure exact reason), open access is a bit of a sore spot on campus. We explored doing some sort of panel to discuss OA, but � tempers and feelings are high right now. I think it would have been interesting.

I wonder if at one of our in person sessions, we could provide each other with just a snapshot of our own sessions. Or somehow share our training documentation? Brenda � maybe you could put this on the agenda for our meeting? It�s rare that we can make each other�s events but they always look so interesting!

Fantastic lineups for next week! I wish I could attend more of them.  I�ve attached a poster of BCIT�s offerings on Wednesday.

And, of course, looking forward to the evening panel at SFU.
