From October 23 to 27 the TalTech library will participate at the Open Access Week organized by the DataCite Estonia consortium to introduce and increase the use and publication of open access scientific information. In addition to the TalTech library, the libraries of the University of Tartu, Estonian University of Life Sciences and Tallinn University also take part in the global initiative.
All mentioned libraries have open information desks during the week, where readers can get useful information about the possibilities and services of open science. When the information desks are opened, you can also communicate with the specialists if you wish.
This year's theme, Community over Commercialisation, aims to encourage discussion/reflection on which open science approaches prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community, and which do not. More information about the international Open Access Week can be found at openaccessweek.org. The official Twitter hashtag for the week is #OAWeek.
During the Open Access Week (23-27 Oct) we invite researchers, doctoral students, research administrators, librarians, and other interested parties to the webinar „Data protection in Research“. The event will take place on 25 October from 13:00 to 14:30 in Zoom. The webinar will feature three presentations, two in Estonian, and one in English. The presentations will cover the following topics:
Introduction to the “Data Protection in Research” guide (Marten Juurik, ETAG/UT), information security and its relevance to research (Toomas Lepik, TalTech) and introduction to the anonymization tool Amnesia (Manolis Terrovitis, OpenAIRE – starting at 14:00 in English).
