SUMMARY:Open Access Week\: A Key to Unlocking Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:During Open Access Week\, Oct. 19-23\, academic institutions around the globe explore open access - the ideal of free\, full-text\, immediate\, online access to peer-reviewed scholarship so new ideas and information can be obtained rapidly and freely by everyone. The open access movement seeks to address the untenable situation that scholars\, students and society face as the skyrocketing cost of journal subscriptions jeopardizes access to scholarly works. The movement supports removing price and permission barriers so that scholarly works can have greater impact because they will be easier to find\, reach a greater audience and accelerate the pace of research. Open access embraces new forms of scholarship that a networked electronic environment are making possible\, including peer-reviewed e-journals\, e-books\, virtual communities of scholars\, thematic research collections and peer-reviewed encyclopedias.    The University Libraries will be hosting two lectures featuring nationally known scholars during its celebration of Open Access Week.  David Shulenberger will give a lecture titled \"The Research University Imperative to Distribute Scholarly Materials\" on Oct. 20\, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center Kiva Room. Shulenberger is the first vice president for academic affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities and his research focuses on the economics of scholarly communications and universities.  David Wiley will explore \"The Broader Impacts of Openness on Education\" on Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 2\:30 p.m. in Room A313/314 of the Main Library.

SUMMARY:Security Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Albert Bergesen\, of the University of Arizona's sociology department\, will discuss \"Radical Islam\: An Attack from the Past or the Future?\"If radical Islam isn't just defensive\; isn't just fear of the modern\; isn't just a passing thing\, then what else might it be? Hints of the future\; deeper asceticism's yielding the ultimate in self-control\, suicide missions? Maybe. Wider communities of equality - the global umma? Maybe. But also maybe not. It is way too early to tell. Max Weber's speculations about the effects of the religious fundamentalism that was the Reformation came hundreds of years after his radical Protestants had their ascetic spasm\; we are in the midst of the radical Islamists. We can only speculate about the possible civilizational implications of our present moment.In this new seminar series\, the UA Software Security Group - in collaboration with Cloakware\, Inc. - will present talks from UA and invited speakers under the broader theme of \"security.\" Topics will range from national security to computer game security to network security. Seminars are held Fridays\, from 10-11 a.m. in Room 906 of the Gould-Simpson building. Refreshments will be served.
