October 22 to 28, 2018 is Open Access Desserts Week!
“Open Access” to information is defined as the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need.
You’ll be able to learn more about open access, share what you already know, and encourage others to look into open access publishing—all by eating dessert.
Visit the Learning Commons on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; the Greenspring Library on Tuesday; or the Owings Mills Library on Thursday. (Or all three!)
Because you like it! This study, available in the open access journal PLOS ONE, found that adolescents really like sweets and desserts after they've gotten little sleep.

Because chocolate is healthy! Rostami et al. found that chocolate can improve blood pressure in patients with diabetes and hypertension. They published their findings in ARYA Atherosclerosis, which is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.

We know this thanks to Cederberg, Knight, Svenson, and Melhus. If they hadn't published their open access case report, we might not know that chocolate can give you an itch or skin rash if you're taking fluoxetine or sertraline.
