What is the collective meaning for openness to librarians and what are its impacts to our profession? At the Open Topic Session, panelists will discuss projects and initiatives to support openness in teaching, research, and scholarly communication at their institutions. Each panelist will speak briefly and attendees will come away with concrete approaches to open that can be implemented at their institution. Attendees and panelists will work toward an Alliance definition of “open” and focus on how institutions can work together.
