Institutional Repositories And Academic Social Networks: Competition Or Complement? A Study Of Open Access Policy Compliance Vs. Researchgate Participation, Julia A. Lovett, Andrée J. Rathemacher, Divana Boukari, Corey Lang

INTRODUCTION The popularity of academic social networks like ResearchGate and Academia.edu indicates that scholars want to share their work, yet for universities with open access (OA) policies, these sites may be competing with institutional repositories (IRs) for content. This article seeks to reveal researcher practices, attitudes, and motivations around uploading their work to ResearchGate and complying with an institutional OA Policy through a study of faculty at the University of Rhode Island (URI). METHODS We conducted a population study to examine the participation by 558 full-time URI faculty members in the OA Policy and ResearchGate followed by a survey of …

This session will demonstrate how even a small institution with limited staffing and resources can achieve more than 30 percent buy-in of their faculty to the institutional repository (IR) and increase awareness of and support for open access publishing on their campus.

Among the avenues for sharing research and scholarship, open access journals offer an increasingly viable and important option. However, it can be challenging not only to identify these journals but also to evaluate their quality and reach, as well as to weigh the benefits of publishing in them.
To help demystify this process, Raynor Memorial Libraries offered a workshop on evaluating open access journals. Aimed at faculty, graduate students, and others interested in publishing their academic work, the workshop offered an overview of current open access options for sharing research, criteria to help assess the rigor and reliability of open …

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

Anne Rauh
Anne Rauh, Syracuse University, and Jeremy Cusker, Cornell University, surveyed STEM Faculty at their respective universities about perceptions of OA author fees in October 2013. Reponses suggested that faculty were concerned about predatory publishing and unwilling to accept any costs for publishing. This talk will briefly cover the survey results, conclusions drawn from it, and suggestions for librarians communicating about OA moving forward.

The conservation field has articulated the importance of publishing our research to disseminate information and further the aims of conservation. Article X of AIC’s Code of Ethics states that conservators should “contribute to the evolution and growth of the profession, a field of study that encompasses the liberal arts and the natural sciences” in part by “sharing of information and experience with colleagues, adding to the profession’s written body of knowledge.” Our Guidelines for Practice state “the conservation professional should recognize the importance of published information that has undergone formal peer review,” because, as Commentary 2.1 indicates, “publication in peer-reviewed …

The abstract for the presentation reads: "After an introduction to the concept of Creative Commons and the tragic case of Aaron Swartz, join the panelists in discussing open access, scholarly publishing and the flow of information as they relate to libraries."
Creating Ebooks From Archival Material In A Digital Commons Space, Brendan Ryan
Creating Ebooks From Archival Material In A Digital Commons Space, Brendan Ryan
Brendan Ryan
The Digital Initiatives at Rhode Island College (RIC) began a project in the spring of 2013 to begin creating eBook files from content already collected as PDF files in the RIC Digital Commons. The process of investigating strategies and exploring file formats provided a background in digital publishing that should prove valuable in future endeavors. In addition, a new method for streamlining workflow was developed that will increase effectiveness. This article explores the process and explores the outcomes of the conversion process.

Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Libraries began exploring the institutional repository (IR) landscape in 2009 with the intention of publishing electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), journals, special collections, images, videos, sound files, or anything else that would fit a need for us. The hosted systems we examined were effective as either platforms for displaying special collections or platforms for managing publishing processes. However, we didn’t find a system that did both of those things well.

The main point of my presentation today is to introduce you to the Scholarship at UWindsor institutional repository, launched by the Leddy Library last November, and to talk about what we’ve be doing so far. However, before I get there it I think it is important to give you some background on the motivations behind this new service as it relates to open-access and scholarly publishing.

Copyright Futures In The Digital Humanities, Laura Quilter
Copyright Futures In The Digital Humanities, Laura Quilter
Laura Quilter
Digital humanities work raises questions around digitization, search, and non-consumptive uses of texts, as well as distribution and access. But traditional humanities work is also confronting copyright questions, simply in terms of publishing, using, and accessing humanities research. This discussion, facilitated by Laura Quilter, UMass Copyright and Information Policy Librarian, will address the issues raised in copyright litigation, particularly the Authors Guild v. HathiTrust case and the "digital humanities" amicus brief, and consider the possible Open Access future presented by the Open Library of Humanities and other initiatives.

The Political Economy Of Scientific Publishing: An Annotated Bibliography, Paul G. St-Pierre
The Political Economy Of Scientific Publishing: An Annotated Bibliography, Paul G. St-Pierre
Paul G. St-Pierre
This annotated bibliography examines elements of the political economy of academic publishing, especially in scientific disciplines where economic sustainability has been threatened by the entry of commercial publishing into the dissemination of research findings. Several themes are explored: the emergence of markets as the central organizing principle of modern economies; the capitalist enclosure and commodification of scientific communication that has occurred in the past forty years; the conservative nature of the academic reward structure, as seen in faculty collective bargaining agreements with respect to promotion and tenure, that inhibits constructive change in the publishing system; the importance of peer review …

Copyright And Fair Use : An Introduction For Faculty, Laura Quilter
Laura Quilter
In this overview of copyright issues for faculty and researchers, we will discuss how copyright affects you: how to protect and get credit for your work, share what you want to share, and use others' work. Special attention will be given to both questions and problems with using other people's work -- relying on fair use, and asking for permission if it's not a fair use -- and the best ways to manage your own copyrights and licenses. Plenty of time for discussion and questions!
