Open Access Week is a global event for information creators and seekers in the academic and research communities to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access. It affords the opportunity to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, while inspiring wider participation in helping make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. During 2021 OA Week the Women’s University in Africa Library will be holding Webinars with different activities lined up for the five days to raise Open Access awareness.
