Open Access is coming. The scholarly publishing model is
changing, so how can you keep its benefits while reaping the new
opportunities? UTA Libraries staff invite you to get in on the
ground floor as we all learn about this new development together.
We will be viewing a Webcast “virtual seminar” on open access as
it pertains to libraries, on Wednesday, December 1, at 1:00 pm -
2:45 pm in Central Library 315A. Presentations to broader
sectors of the university committee will come later—this is a first
glimpse.

- Technology Fair:
"More than 30
firms as well as numerous UTA departments will demonstrate how
they are using information technology at the Fourth Annual UTA
Technology Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10, in the
E.H. Hereford University Center. The event is free and open to
the public and will also include track sessions on how to use
the latest technology and product demonstrations. Trends in
higher education that are either being seen or are anticipated
as a function of information technology and its effect on the
learning environment will be the topic of a talk by Brian
Hawkins, president of EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association whose
mission is to advance higher education by promoting the
intelligent use of information technology. He will discuss the
trends' impact on organizational structures on campus, the
marketplace for higher education, the culture of our
institutions and the business practices that we employ, all
leading to both a turbulent and transformed enterprise. The UTA
Honors College will host an interactive session for all students
(not just Honors students) who want to meet and talk with Dr.
Hawkins. Door prizes will include iPods and software. For more
