Open Access Week was October 22-28, 2012. The week has past, but publishing in open access journals and the issues surrounding open access are still present. The Scholarly Communications at Tufts University web site describes "open access", some of the issues, and provides information about the Provost’s Open Access Fund. Applications for the next round of funding are due on November 9, 2012.

A small, informal Farmer's Market is taking place every Tuesday and Friday in the Library. Some gardeners, overwhelmed by their harvest, have decided to try selling their surplus vegetables and fruit. All proceeds collected are being donated to the Travis Fund. The first two market days were very successful. So far there have been tomatoes, apples, cucumbers, hot peppers and patty pan squash (the produce list varies!).  If you have surplus vegetables or fruit that you would like to donate, please bring it to the Library in the morning on market days... Tuesdays and Fridays.

Check out the new scanner in the Library, just inside our entrance. You can scan and send documents to email or Google Docs, save to a flash drive, or print. It's faster and easier to use than our old scanner and it's free! The library staff will be happy to show you how to use it... please ask!
