📚🌍 THE COST OF KNOWLEDGE: WHO GETS ACCESS? 🔓✨

Knowledge is power, but should access to it come at a cost? 🤔💡

Join SPU Library and Information Services, in collaboration with the University of the Free State and the Central University of Technology libraries, for the CenFreeSol Open Access Week Celebration 2026! 🎉

Under the theme “The Cost of Knowledge,” let’s explore how Open Access can break down barriers, make research more accessible, and create opportunities for everyone to learn, discover and innovate. 🚀📖

📅 Date: Monday, 26 October 2026
⏰ Time: 11:00–14:00
💻 Platform: MS Teams

📲 Don't miss out! Scan the QR code on the poster to register and be part of the conversation.
