19–25 October | Open Access on social media
Throughout the week, we will be sharing a selection of Open Access resources across various fields of knowledge on our social media channels – Facebook and Instagram (@bibliotecasffp).
Do you know of any Open Access resources that are worth sharing? Please share their names and links with us, helping to enrich our Open Access Resources page.
We look forward to your participation in these initiatives and hope to see you, in particular, on 21 October at the Álvaro de Campos Specialised Library!
