A person I’m grateful for: Heather Joseph

"It’s day two of Scientopia’s gratitude-fest; today is all about people we’re grateful for. I’m grateful for Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC....Heather Joseph...tells the straight story...[and] she’s got the chops to tell it without leaving any holes in her professional armor for skeevy publishers or lazy libraries to evade her message. She never falters or admits defeat....She is smart, prepared, opportunistic, persistent, and unwavering. She’s the best friend open access has in libraryland. If she didn’t exist, we’d have to invent her—and we’d never get it right. So thank you, Heather Joseph. I’m grateful you fight the good fight."
