  • 1.  Writing a paper on intellectual freedom and open access

    Posted Feb 21, 2024 01:41 PM

    I am working on writing a paper on intellectual freedom and open access for a journal. I am having some difficulty coming up with topics so I was wondering what your thoughts were about these two topics as they relate to each other? This is my first paper as a librarian so I am a little nervous about the whole experience. Any advice is appreciated.
