Join us online for an informative session on Open Access Publishing Opportunities at UC Libraries. 

Hear directly from California Digital Library (CDL) representatives, UC Merced faculty, and librarians as they share actionable updates on: 

- OA Publishing Agreements & Discounts: How UC’s 20+ publisher agreements cover or discount fees, making ~55% of UC-authored articles eligible for open access publishing.  
- Arts & Humanities OA Support: Key initiatives—including a pilot fund covering 3,600+ eligible titles—designed specifically to support humanities and arts research.  
- eScholarship: Leveraging UC’s open-access repository and publishing platform, home to over 80 academic journals, monographs, and conference proceedings. 

After short panelist presentations, we will have time for questions. 

Date: Wednesday, October 21  
Time: 1:30 to 2:30pm 
Location: Online via Zoom
