Dear Clarkson Community
The Clarkson University Libraries and the Northern New York Library Network will host a showing of “Paywall: The Business of Scholarship,” followed by a Q&A session with Director and Clarkson Professor Jason Schmitt, tonight at 5pm.
Paywall: The Business of Scholarship is a documentary which focuses on the need for open access to research and science, questions the rationale behind the $25.2 billion a year that flows into for-profit academic publishers, examines the 35-40% profit margin associated with the top academic publisher Elsevier and looks at how that profit margin is often greater than some of the most profitable tech companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google.
