Screening of Paywall: The Business of Scholarship
Date: October 24th, Wednesday Time: 12pm-2pm Location: Room A-6-F, Firestone Library
Please Join the Princeton University Library at a screening of Paywall: The Business of Scholarship.
Paywall: The Business of Scholarship is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google.
We are thrilled to be joined by the director and producer himself to lead a lively and informative discussion following the screening of his film.
So save the date and join us for this exciting event! Refreshment will be served.
