• Since 2013, staff in the University of Alberta Libraries have involved students in the University’s Department of Art & Design in our Open Access (OA) Week efforts. Students have created two important parts of OA Week: a visual identity for our campaign and an exhibition of design installations about Open Access. This article describes this project and discusses four aspects that have made it successful: preparation, organization, authenticity, and awareness-raising.
