Open Access Collection Development: Opportunities & Challenges
September 16, 2011 Welcome, Announcements, Introductions DIY Revolution: Open Access and the International Journal of Žižek Studies Break Open Access as Social Change: How the Ministry of Silly Walks Advances the Adoption of Open Access Luncheon Breakouts: Adventures in Pedagogy, Publishing and Open Access This presentation will discuss an experimental collaboration between a librarian and the faculty advisor of the Undergraduate Economic Review, a born-digital, open access student-edited journal. Each partner brings their specific expertise and knowledge to the table in order to facilitate a real-life publishing experience integrated into the economics department capstone seminar course. The course requires students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained in three years of coursework to critically review articles submitted to the journal from around the world for publication. This session will summarize briefly the history of the journal, outline the disciplinary contributions of the librarian and faculty member, and provide insight into student reaction into how editorial and peer review work changed their outlook on writing, publishing and open access issues. Benefits and challenges of the experiment will be presented, as will recommendations for other librarians who wish to collaborate closely with departments or faculty in publishing open access journals. The presentation will feature examples of article review criteria, materials used to educate students on open access and publishing. E-Valuating Local Collections for Open Access: The NLU Experience National Louis University (NLU) provides access to local collections through an Institutional Repository and Special Collections and Archives digital collections. We use open access as an effective and value-added method for contributing to scholarship and outreach to different communities, including alumni. As NLU celebrates our 125th anniversary this year, we utilize digital collections to promote and provide access to our unique history. This presentation will discuss materials selected for inclusion and the multiple ways open access collections can contribute value to a university’s scholarship and reputation. The Integration of Area and International Studies Digital Collections into CARLI Libraries: Questions of Access and Digitization Criteria The paper will discuss the creation and integration of area and international studies digital collections within CARLI libraries. The focus will be on non-English, including non-Roman, language, open access (out-of-copy right) materials that have been created in-house or consortially. The question of access and will be discussed in the context of their visibility and availability through local OPACs. The paper will include the results of the recent ARL-SPEC 3rd SPEC survey of 2011 on Collecting Global Resources that some CARLI libraries are currently filling out. One of the most important questions posed by the survey deals with the future development of international digital resources, including digitized international collections, at various institutions. What is the institutional support for their creation and what are the criteria for non-English language digital content? The paper will explore these questions. Localizing Open Access Articles in PubMed Eastern Illinois University uses PubMed’s LinkOut to display “Free Full Text” articles, most of which are Open Access, as part of their collection in PubMed. This presentation will explain how the LinkOut process works, adding a library icon to open access journals in PubMed, and managing LinkOut with a SFX Link Resolver. Open Access Publishing and the Disruption of the Club For over 300 years, scholarly communication was supported by what economists identify as a Club Good model, often considered a type of Public Good. A group of stakeholders (the Club) sharing common characteristics and concerns adopted a risk-mitigation financial model to promote the widest possible dissemination of research results: subscriptions (a form of assurance contract) operating on a cost-recovery basis. This financial model proved remarkably sustainable and scalable for the suite of technologies available for publication over that period of time. With the rise of digital publishing, however, it is now technically possible to disseminate scholarly research universally, as a Pure Public Good. But the members of the Club that might overcome the free-rider problem and pay for the provision of this Good are changing. This presentation will consider who might be in, and who might be out—including libraries—in a disruption of the Club. Predatory Publishers: The Underside of Open Access The intrepid explorer ventures a mad dash to the lower recesses of the publishing world. Smart + Fun + Free = Prelinger William Thompson will describe WIU Libraries use of the Prelinger Collection, a sub collection of the Internet Archives, (http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger) to create film programming that has proven popular with students and faculty. The Prelinger Collection contains a wide variety of film and video that is of interest to persons studying various aspects of culture. And the films are often amusing. AND they are free--an important fact in these days of budget strapped, appropriation delayed public higher education.
