Recruiting Content For The Institutional Repository: The Barriers Exceed The Benefits, Denise Troll Covey Dec 2010

Recruiting Content For The Institutional Repository: The Barriers Exceed The Benefits, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Focus groups conducted at Carnegie Mellon reveal that what motivates many faculty to self-archive on a website or disciplinary repository will not motivate them to deposit their work in the institutional repository. Recruiting a critical mass of content for the institutional repository is contingent on increasing awareness, aligning deposit with existing workflows, and providing value-added services that meet needs not currently being met by other tools. Faculty share concerns about quality and the payoff for time invested in publishing and disseminating their work, but disagree about metrics for assessing quality, the merit of disseminating work prior to peer review, and …

Open Access And Library Resources Compete In Importance, Denise Troll Covey, Janel Sutkus

Denise Troll Covey

Few assessments of academic library value have included the value of open access resources, despite widespread agreement that dramatic changes in the scholarly landscape challenge the library's relevance and viability. This paper reports on faculty and graduate student perceptions of the relative importance of various resources to particular teaching and research activities. Open access resources compete in importance with full-text digital resources provided by the library. Both are more important to research than teaching, but open access resources are the most important resource in some teaching activities.

The Ethics Of Open Access And Copyright Infringement, Denise Troll Covey Jan 2010

The Ethics Of Open Access And Copyright Infringement, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

This paper examines the movement to provide free online (open) access to scholarly journal articles as civil disobedience, a heretical challenge to the orthodox ideology of intellectual property law and the tradition of copyright transfer to a publisher. The legal standing and carefully crafted rhetoric of the heretical leaders enables them to rightfully proclaim that the goals of the open access (OA) movement can be achieved in compliance with U.S. copyright law while exposing conflicting values and problematic assumptions in the law that portend reform. Meanwhile, much of the work that the heretics have made available open access breaches publisher …

The Ethics Of Open Access To Research: A Call For Civil Disobedience And Moral Courage, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Analysis reveals transparency among authors and obfuscation among publishers. The core values and ethical principles of librarianship require librarians to stand with authors and to exercise and foster civil disobedience and moral courage in support of open access.
