Advocate for Open Access Week: Google Doodle

Would you like to make a contribution to Open Access Week 2010 (October 18-24)? Here is something quick and simple you can do to raise awareness — send an email to Google advocating for a Google Doodle (you know those artistic “Google”s on their home page). If you are interested in making an OA Week Google Doodle a reality then follow these simple instructions, provided by the SPARC-OAForum:

To make a suggestion for the Doodle simply email Google at proposals@google.com.

Suggested email text:

The week of October 18th is international Open Access week, with events and activities taking place world-wide on university and research campuses. We believe that Open Access, researchers making their research articles available for free to all,  is an exciting and important shift in the availability of research for scholars and the public. We would like to support the idea of a Google Doodle on Open Access for this week.

See here for more information.

Laura
