Great session on Open Access books at #LDNOpenFest26
It's always nice when they have authors/researchers speaking, as sometimes open access conferences feel like the same group of librarians talking to each other about how much we like open access.

With an introduction to Wikimedia, a look at open access book rights, and a discussion on open research, gender and ethics, it's been a fascinating first day.
