3. OA Week Info Table
UCSF has participated in Open Access Day/Week since its inception in 2008.
Information Table in high traffic area during lunch hour catches passers-by, mostly students.
Helps to have giveaways (t-shirts, cookies) to draw people in.
Good opportunity to highlight OA developments.

6. Beyond OA Week

7. January 2013: Jorge Cham John Eisen Heather Joseph
Jorge, who started PhD Comics while completing his PhD at Stanford, will discuss his evolving view of open access, how it changed while making Open Access Explained! (YouTube video), and explore lingering questions with Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC, and Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist at UC Davis and chair of the PLOS Biology Advisory Board.
This event was a big draw because of the popularity of Jorge Cham and PhD Comics,
The talk was webcast and recorded for free viewing after. Sponsored by PLOS, SPARC/Right to Research, and the library.

9. Other University of California campuses have put on some interesting and successful events.
UCLA puts on a number sessions, some geared at librarians, others at students, faculty, and staff, and features one main event. Their showcase event in 2013, Dissertation to Book, appealed to graduate students and was very popular. Had support from Graduate Division (two academic departments) and Proquest. Addressed the question: “If I put my dissertation online, will it hurt my chances of publishing with a reputable press?”
UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego both put on events targeted at demystifying OA for graduate students. UCSB’s featured two librarians and a faculty member, and was co-sponsored by the Music Deparment. UCSD’s featured four faculty from a range of disciplines. UCSD outcome: librarians and faculty attended, but not so much grad students. New liaison program in place, that will also target graduate students. They will focus liaison effort on students during OA Week, in line with the Generation Open theme.
UC Irvine had a panel presentation with the UL and faculty, on the OA policy and the impact of OA publishing. The SC Coordinator followed up by visiting several department meetings and individual campus faculty and administrators and demonstrating how to deposit paper series and post-prints in the IR, eScholarship.
