Allendale Campus

Join us for popcorn and a movie in the library!
As part of Open Access Week 2022 we’ll be showing the film “Paywall: The Business of Scholarship”, a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science. The film questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher, Elsevier, and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, and Google.
This event is INT 100/201 approved.
