You already know what Data Control looks like on paper: it’s an intuitive, browser-based graphic interface, and it allows for the construction of queries, batch modification of records, and editing of individual record fields.

Knowledge for Everyone: How Open Access in Discovery Furthers Your Library’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Goals
2023-12-14 11:00 - 12:00
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has been widely adopted by academia as a goal—it is even being added to accreditation standards. Open Access (OA) content promises equitable access without paywall barriers, thus helping to level the playing field for users without privilege. OA supports and inspires researchers in underprivileged groups and regions—diversifying the voice of the resulting research. OA also allows alumni a vast, easily-accessible resource for lifelong learning.

Join us to explore these ideas and others with a panel of librarians that are on the front lines of using OA to help move the needle on DEI at their institutions.
