JCU Library and Information Services is hosting the following seminar next Friday, 19th June.
The Internet is transforming academic publishing. This includes the process of publishing, how publications can be shared, and how you can use, comment and build on existing published works.

Topics that will be covered include Open Access publishing, publishing ethics, and why you should consider new publishing models.
