Mel DeSart replied to Jennifer McLennan's discussion Open Access Week 2011 review"Unfortunately, we didn't have much opportunity for feedback from ANYone who say the exhibit, other than the faculty who posted to the AAUP elist or who those of us on the committee heard from individually. We have not followed up with the…"
Mel DeSart replied to Jennifer McLennan's discussion Open Access Week 2011 review"Not indefinitely, but now for a significantly extended "run". So it will be up in some form from early October thru late December."

Mel DeSart replied to Jennifer McLennan's discussion 2011 Open (Access Week) Idea Swap - October 3"Part of the reason for that is because UW is on quarters, not semesters, so our students just started classes last week. That timing makes it a bit more difficult to get info disseminated to our university community prior to the start of OA…"
