Engaging Faculty to Advance Campus Open Access Policies: Strategies and Lessons Learned

As champions of creating more equitable systems for sharing scholarly research, libraries are typically the leaders in developing open access policies at their institutions. This work aligns with evidence that effective policies can accelerate researchers’ adoption of open access and increase their rates of open access publishing/archiving. The benefits of Institutional open access policies include increasing public access to taxpayer-funded research, enhancing the visibility and impact of an institution’s research output and supporting author rights. While increasing numbers of institutions are adopting these policies, they are often a tough sell due to misconceptions about open access and concerns about infringing on faculty's academic freedom to publish where they please. Presenters and participants will discuss strategies for working with stakeholders to overcome barriers and create buy-in for openly sharing research. Participants will learn of models and tools for open access policy development and presenters will share insights and campus engagement strategies from their development of institutional open access policies at York University and Brock University

The Center of Excellence Model for Information Services (CLIR pub 163)

In 2013, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded a group of librarians from ARL\u27s Research Library Leadership Fellows program a planning grant to examine the center of excellence (CoE) model for information services. Used in a variety of industries, CoEs are designed to attract the most talented researchers in a particular field, enhance collaboration, and improve access to the resources needed for their research. The planning grant was awarded to determine whether the CoE model could serve as a means to provide the new services required for the effective use of digital information. This report describes the team\u27s approach to examining the feasibility of CoEs in the library setting. The team conducted preliminary investigations of more than 100 centers, which they narrowed to 35 for in-depth research. Interviews were conducted with staff at 19 centers and 7 funding organizations. In their conclusion, the team advises developing networks of expertise or expert networks, instead of CoEs, and provides a series of recommendations for building such networks

Evolving Landscape of Scholarly Communications in BC: UBC's Scholarly Communications Project

The evolving landscape of scholarly communications in British Columbia was explored from the perspectives of academic librarians and faculty. Members of the Canadian Association of research Libraries are building and filling institutional repositories so that their faculty can make their own work open access, something that funding agencies are increasingly expecting. Joy Kirchner outlined the Scholarly Communications planning process and educational initiatives at the University of British Columbia Library

Presentation from symposium

Sayeed Choudhury on establishing a university data management program

In conjunction with the International 2010 Open Access Week (October Oct. 18-24th,), the BC Research Libraries Group invited G. Sayeed Choudhury, Associate Dean for Library Digital Programs and Hodson Director of the Digital Research and Curation Center at the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University, to speak on the Case for Open Data and eScience – Establishing a University Data Management Program at Johns Hopkins. Sayeed Choudhury discussed John Hopkins University (JHU) work developing a university data management program and a service model to support data curation as part of an evolving cyberinfrastructure featuring open, modular components in support of JHU faculty associated with community-wide eScience projects. In addition to developing a technological framework for data conservancy at JHU, they are also developing new roles and relationships between the library and the academic community, most notably through the development of “data scientists” or “data humanists.” Within these developments, Choudhury concluded that institutional repositories is the first step in a longer journey towards data conservation and that for institutional efforts to be successful, they must be integrated into a larger landscape of repositories that serve a distributed and diverse academic community.Library, UBCUnreviewedOthe
