Recap of Open Access Week events
| All
| Cal Poly Pomona (LibGuide): synchronous workshops were difficult with Zoom fatigue, but this was a good opportunity to pull together internal resources; planning on resolutions to Academic Senate; will repeat workshops again throughout the year. Dominguez Hills (LibGuide): Instagram posts had good traction (e.g., quizzes); Wikipedia edit-a-thon did not happen this time, but a faculty member is interested – looking into a course-integrated activity; stats to come. SF State Black Lives Matter Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (LibGuide): Two faculty attended; another edit-a-thon this Friday and one in December. Fullerton: Mark wrote an OA Week op-ed on controlled digital lending.

Non-traditional theses/dissertations | Melissa | Humanities faculty at SF State have expressed interest in giving students an option to submit graphic theses. We have been having discussions about accessibility considerations. Does anyone have experience with this? Cal Poly Pomona: trying to figure out how to make architectural figures accessible Cal Poly SLO: starting to work on best practices in relation to zines Chico: also interested in this; Office of Accessible Technology & Services currently helps with remediation
Text-based ETD remediation DRC conversations about accessibility have been very preliminary thus far Cal Poly Pomona: used to rely on student self-submissions, but IR staff now do most of the remediation; Alyssa will share templates with the group Dominguez Hills: previously used templates, but had difficulty getting students to use them Humboldt: student submissions must be fully remediated in order to be accepted; the Library works with students on this, has templates and created a Canvas course
