Open Access Week is October 24-30

This week the Library celebrates International Open Access Week! Open access is the free, online availability of research plus the rights to use the research in an open environment. At Kalamazoo College Library, we advocate for open educational resources (OERs), online classroom and study materials that can be used, adapted, and redistributed by others with few or no restrictions. This reduces textbook costs for students and promotes equity in our educational environment.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the Library has (virtually) gathered titles to help people who want to learn more about domestic violence survivorship. Check out our Virtual Book Display on Domestic Violence Survivors for some of our library’s resources and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence for more on Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
