I gave a short talk at the CUNY IT Conference on December 9 and thought I would share the slides I made here. There are more notes about the panel I was a part of at the Open Access @ CUNY blog (Prof. Jill Cirasella's presentation is especially useful for those interested in the practicalities of OA publishing). We had excellent conversations with other CUNY folks at the conference, and it was great to get a chance to talk OA with a wide array of CUNY colleagues.
I thought I would share our slides from our ACRL 2011 presentation here. There is a dowloadable PDF version over at http://readersbillofrights.info/acrl2011, and soon there will also be a version with our notes as well.
Here are my slide shows from the Metro Panel that I was a part of called "Get Published!: Create Your Own (Unconventional) Opportunities."

"To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, through many there be who have tried it."*
(you couldn't tell our tale on a flea either--working on chapter XVIII)
