The Penn Libraries hosted a virtual panel discussion on the future of research under the Nelson Memo. Released in August 2022, this policy will require federal agencies with research funding to make all research materials publicly available without an embargo or cost. Panel experts shared how their communities are preparing for implementation and share their experiences with public access policies.
Panelists included:
Perry Collins, Senior Program Officer in the Office of Digital Humanities, National Endowment for the Humanities
Manuel de la Cruz Gutierrez, Head of Holman Biotech Commons at Penn Libraries, University of Pennsylvania
Lauren Phegley, Research Data Engineer at Penn Libraries, University of Pennsylvania
This event was part of the Penn Libraries International OA Week 2024 celebration.
