Description: Join us to celebrate the collaboration between the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and New College of Florida's Jane Bancroft Cook Library with the digital open access publication of Selbyana, the esteemed scholarly journal for botanists.

Description: As part of our Open Access Week activities, the Cook Library will be screening Paywall: The Business of Scholarship, a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science. The screening will be held on October 23rd at 6:00 PM in Library 141. The film 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 such as Apple, Facebook, and Google.

Description: Come get spooky with your favorite librarians and library staff! If you're on campus with a costume and nowhere to go, stop by Cook Library to experience The Library After Dark. Let's have a Franken-good time!
