THE KEYNOTE
• Student textbooks cost about $1,200 per year.
• Students worry more about paying for books than they worry about paying for college.
• Textbook costs have risen 812% since 1978.
• $1,200 is equal to 12% of tuition at my university.

What Will the Digital Age
Enable?
Technology allows for efficient worldwide dissemination of research and scholarship. But closed distribution models can get in the way. Open access helps to fulfill the promise of the digital age.

We Can Do It!
“We can be confident that OA journals are economically sustainable because the true costs of peer review, manuscript preparation, and OA dissemination are
considerably lower than the prices we currently pay for subscription-based journals. There's more than enough
money already committed to the journal-support system. Moreover, as OA spreads, libraries will realize large
savings from the conversion, cancellation, or demise of non-OA journals.”
~Peter Suber
We Can Do It!
How Open is OPEN?
call the tweeps
What are the barriers to working OPEN?
My evening
• Barriers to open
• Contingent labor and OER
• Privilege and dominance in open spaces
• Screenshotting tweets
• Embedding tweets
• Exploiting tweeters
• Slideshares and articles
• Conferences
• Skype dates
• Plans for meetups
• Sharing faculty observation protocols
• Not
• Making
• Powerpoint
OPENing…• Challenge barriers to access. Be
honest and critical.• Center learners. Be radical and real.
• Facilitate connection. Be a sticky node, not a gate.
• Share research. Be generous and just.
