Readings for Open Access Week.

Summary:

"I [Peter Suber] hope you'll talk about open access with colleagues next week, which happens to be Open Access Week. Actually I hope you talk about OA at every opportune moment. If an opportune moment doesn't come up every week, then use OA Week as the occasion. In my view, that's the main purpose of OA Week. Talk from a stage, your office, a hallway, a sidewalk, or a café table. The setting doesn't matter. Or if it does, personal settings may matter more than impersonal ones. Make the case in a way that your colleagues will understand, which you understand because you're their colleague. 
If you inspire your colleagues to want to act, or learn more, then follow up with readings. Here are half a dozen of my own pieces that I can recommend, from shortest to longest.
But don't lead with readings. Lead with face-to-face conversation. Help people understand that there's a serious problem and a beautiful solution...."
