An alternative OA week, ‘demand management’ and mentoring – discussions from our community webinar | Jisc scholarly communications

"Our community webinar on 27th September aimed to provide an opportunity for sharing expertise and experiences. While face to face events are often preferred (see the write up of the last event), they are costly in term of time and resources and there are limits on the numbers that can attend. So we wanted to try out something different. We invited contributors to give brief updates on their current challenges in implementing open access, what was working and what wasn’t, and provided an opportunity for them to ask the audience questions. We encouraged chat throughout the session, had regular polls and offered up the mic to anyone who wanted to ask questions (no takers this time, but maybe next?)."
