Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees, Anne E. Rauh

Anne Rauh

In fall 2013, librarians at Syracuse University and Cornell University surveyed STEM faculty to learn about their experiences with, and perceptions of, open access publishing and the author fees that may accompany that model. The results showed little experience with open access author fees but strong opinions about the open access model. This poster will highlight the cautious optimism found in the results along with suggestions for librarians to further faculty understanding of and participation in open access publishing.

Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees: A Case Study At Two Universities, Anne E. Rauh Sep 2014

Faculty Perceptions Of Open Access Author Fees: A Case Study At Two Universities, Anne E. Rauh

Anne Rauh

In the fall of 2013, librarians at Cornell University and Syracuse University surveyed STEM faculty about open access author fees. While few authors had decided against publishing in an open access journal due to the author fee requirement, results showed skepticism towards the quality of open access titles, opposition to paying fees from their own funds, and a lack of understanding of how university resources such as library subscriptions are funded. The speaker will take the participants through the case study results and discuss opportunities for librarians and publishers to collaborate on increasing awareness and participation in open access.

Social Media And Citation Metrics, Linda M. Galloway, Anne E. Rauh Jan 2013

Social Media And Citation Metrics, Linda M. Galloway, Anne E. Rauh

Anne Rauh

Quantifying scholarly output via traditional citation metrics is the time-honored method to gauge academic success. However, as the tentacles of social media spread into professional personas, scholars are interacting more frequently and more meaningfully with these tools. Measuring the influence and impact of scholarly engagement with online tools and networks is gaining importance in academia today. Assessing the impact of a scholar’s work can be measured by evaluating several factors including the number of peer-reviewed publications, citations to these publications and the influence of the publications. These metrics take a relatively long time to accumulate, some are available only via …

Getting Into The Workflow: Graduate Support Workshops, Steven Baumgart, Rebecca Payne, Anne E. Rauh, Lisa Saywell

How can librarians engage with graduate student education and research?

To address a need for better library support for graduate students increasingly pursuing interdisciplinary research and study, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries initiated a series of workshops designed to integrate into the workflow of graduate students. Presenters will discuss how the program evolved from a one-library pilot program into a coordinated series of workshops across multiple campus libraries. Details about workshop topics, structure, design, and promotion and series feedback and next steps will …
