Jumping the Paywall: How to freely share research without being arrested. This workshop will identify and address two safety-critical problems permeating research today: lack of total free access to scholarship, and the looming threat of apprehension for trying to facilitate said free access. The workshop will hypothesize workable solutions to the stated problem sets by presenting actionable intelligence and exploring tactical modes of engagement in the on-going copyfight via the exploration of securing free access to scholarship (in the form of academic e-journal articles and e-books), and via developing avoidance strategies to forego existent and emergent threats of apprehension resulting from participation in the practices of free access. Topics covered will include: --> Content access procurement --> Operational security during field deployment --> Watermark, metadata and content-protection identification and removal --> Content distribution Huh? Ever try to view a journal article only to slam into an extortionate paywall? Then you should stop by. Where? PSH (NAB) 314 Goldsmiths, University of London https://www.gold.ac.uk/find-us/ When? Date: Friday, 24 April 2015 Time: 15.00-17.00
