Universal, not Global, science: why Open Access is crucial to the good health of scientific communication

Since the WWII, the landscape of scientific communication has quietly, yet deeply, changed. The advent of the Science Citation Index in the ’70’s, the growth of commercial publishers, and, finally, the fundamental affordances of digitization and the Internet have converged to create an oligopolistic structure to scientific communication. Scientific communication has thus been globalized in ways that are not all that different from economic globalization. Open Access may be a way to correct this situation, but only if some further conditions are also respected and implemented. The presentation will explore some of these conditions to reach the goal of universality for science

Es un repositorio, es un depósito, es un archivo...: Open Access, colecciones digitales y valor

In the context of Open Access to scientific and scholarly literature, repositories, both institutional and subject-based, have come to play an important role. However, the nature of repositories appears to be difficult to pin down as each category of people involved seems to have a different vision. The shifting interpretation of repositories has been a source of weakness in the promotion of these instruments. It is suggested here that this situation is not unique to repositories; on the contrary, all sociotechnical objects go through such a phase if we are to follow some of the important studies coming from the “Social construction of technology” school of thought. This suggests that technical objects succeed when relevant social groups interpret the meaning and function of a particular technology. By examining a number of events around repositories, in particular struggles around the possibility of mandating deposits, it is possible to identify a number of relevant social groups, as well as examine how they can either ally with each other or are displaying conflictual fault-lines between them. Using this form of analysis should help develop strategies to develop repositories.En el contexto del Acceso Abierto a la literatura científica y académica, los repositorios, tanto los institucionales como los disciplinares o temáticos, van a jugar un papel importante. No obstante, resulta difícil caracterizar la naturaleza de los repositorios debido a que cada categoría de personas relacionadas con ellos parecen tener diferente perspectiva. La cambiante interpretación que han teniendo los repositorios ha constituido una fuente de debilidad para la promoción de este instrumento. Aquí se sugiere que esta situación no se da sólo en el caso de los repositorios; al contrario, como muestran algunos importantes estudios provenientes de la escuela de pensamiento que aboga por la “Construcción social de la tecnología”, todos los objetos sociotécnicos pasan por la misma fase. Esta escuela sugiere que los objetos técnicos tienen éxito cuando los grupos sociales relevantes interpretan el significado y la función de una tecnología particular. Examinando un conjunto de eventos acerca de los repositorios, en particular las luchas alrededor de la posibilidad de obligar a autoarchivar los artículos, es posible identificar un buen número de grupos sociales, así como examinar el modo en que pueden aliarse entre sí o manifestar la conflictiva falla que los separa. Este tipo de análisis debería ayudar a desarrollar estrategias que permitan desarrollar los repositorios

Metadata and Open Access: Reliably Finding Content and Finding Reliable Content

Metadata and open access publishing continue to be topics of debate and discussion in the popular media, blogs, and listservs. Different points of view exist among librarians, researchers, publishers, and others, and several examples will be presented regarding open access journals and articles and digital data from the perspective of metadata and accessibility. Open access content is the utmost accessible content, if students and researchers know how to find it and know how to judge whether what they find is worthy of inclusion in their research. The discussion will focus on how to make open access publications and articles more accessible. Questions the paper will strive to answer are: What metadata elements would help academic librarians and researchers find these resources within the larger databases, institutional repositories, and/or discovery services? How do librarians vet open access publications for research by students and faculty? How do they determine which titles to include in their catalogs and how to catalog them? What additional information would be helpful? What role could publishers of directories and providers of link, search, and discovery services play to that would lead to open access content? How can metadata better describe digital data and make it more accessible to researchers

Hyde Park Corner Debate

This year’s debate tackled the issue: The Current System of Scholarly Publishing, Whereby Publishers Receive Content for Free and Then Sell It Back to Libraries at a High Price, Must Fundamentally Change. The speakers both presented their arguments, covering topics from scholarly publishing stages, pricing, open access, funding, and beyond to demonstrate the changing environments in scholarly publishing and how to approach these issues in the future

A Dialogue about the Impacts of Mass Digitization Projects

People from all walks of life have embraced Google as an indispensable tool for managing their personal lives. This has led to the development of new patterns of intellectual interaction, and scholarly communication. The question remains, however, as to whether Google has approached the degree of ubiquity as a scholarly research tool that it has as a tool for general discovery and organization. This panel will address the role of such initiatives as the Google partnership in supporting scholarly communication, including its potential for becoming the primary discovery tool for past and present research.University of Michigan University Library & National Commission on Libraries and Information Science; held March 10 and March 11, 2006 in Rackham Auditorium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/57304/6/mdp-research_teaching_learning.movhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/57304/5/tenner.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/57304/4/wolpert.pd
