The Caltech Library is delighted to sponsor this program led by Dr. Brian Hole, researcher, publisher, and leader in the Open Access movement. Brian founded Ubiquity Press in 2007 to "break down barriers to communication in the research community by improving access to research information, especially for those largely excluded by current economic and political policies of societies and publishers".

This session will look at trends in OA publishing; the future of open scholarly journals and repositories; and share insights on related projects with

• Research ontologies and classifications
• Social behaviour of academic networks
• Distribution and access models for research information

Additional information about researcher-led publishing may be found on the Ubiquity Press website.
