Student Scholarship: A Promising Engagement Strategy For Growing An Institutional Repository, M Ryan Hess
Student Scholarship: A Promising Engagement Strategy For Growing An Institutional Repository, M Ryan Hess
M Ryan Hess
DePaul University has recently changed its strategy for growing its institutional repository, promoting opportunities for publishing student scholarship. Unlike with faculty works, student scholarship does not evoke strong opinions about copyright and future publishing risks. Instead, it is seen both as a promotional tool for a department or faculty member and as a win for students. Our successes have included student translations of historical French documents held in our library, a student Law journal, a student Nursing journal, student GIS maps and oral histories of artists. The DePaul library will share its experiences with this strategy so that others can …

Cultivating Scholarship: The Role Of Institutional Repositories In Health Sciences Libraries, Lisa A. Palmer
Cultivating Scholarship: The Role Of Institutional Repositories In Health Sciences Libraries, Lisa A. Palmer
Lisa A. Palmer
The early promise of institutional repositories is beginning to bear fruit. Medical libraries with institutional repositories, like other academic libraries, have found that their repositories support new ways of engaging with researchers and meeting the challenges posed by the transformation in scholarly communication over the past decade exemplified by open access, the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy, campus-based publishing, and the sharing of research data. Institutional repositories can grow and thrive in academic health sciences libraries and be a vital component in the provision of library services to faculty, researchers, staff, and students.

Addressing Faculty Publishing Concerns With Open Access Journal Quality Indicators, Max Eckard, Sarah Beaubien
Max Eckard
BACKGROUND The scholarly publishing paradigm is evolving to embrace innovative open access publication models. While this environment fosters the creation of high-quality, peer-reviewed open access publications, it also provides opportunities for journals or publishers to engage in unprofessional or unethical practices. LITERATURE REVIEW Faculty take into account a number of factors in deciding where to publish, including whether or not a journal engages in ethical publishing practices. Librarians and scholars have attempted to address this issue in a number of ways, such as generating lists of ethical/unethical publishers and general guides. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT In response to growing faculty concern …

The Open Access (OA) movement’s impact on scholarly communication has reached a tipping point. Increasingly, legal requirements such as the Illinois Open Access law (Public Act 098-0925) mandate open access to state funded research, and funding agencies are obliging researchers to preserve data in accessible platforms. In addition, publisher-driven “gold OA” and free-access “green OA” require researchers to navigate complicated options for copyright control. Meanwhile, new OA “scholars networks” offer possibilities for collaboration of which scholars may be unaware. These growing trends have ramifications across many disciplines and they create a need that librarians can fill. Subject librarians trained in …

Managing E-Publishing: Perfect Harmony For Serialists, Wendy C. Robertson, Charlene N. Simser
Wendy C Robertson
This article describes two serialists who use skills honed in their respective serials departments to show how those skills adapt to the world of e-publishing. The presenters discussed their roles in e-publishing and their respective university presses and library publishing programs. How have their libraries reorganized to provide resources for supporting these new roles? The daily work of an e-publishing librarian was reviewed, including an overview of working with Digital Commons and Open Journal Systems, two e-press platforms. The presenters also discussed funding and sustainability of the programs, and working with open access and subscription titles.

Is An Institutional Repository Right For Your Small College Library?, Janelle L. Wertzberger
Janelle Wertzberger
Learn how a small college library launched an institutional repository (IR) without dedicated staff or IT support. Thanks to hosted solutions and our global learning community, open access repositories are now within reach of smaller institutions, and they bring many benefits to the libraries that manage them. Weigh the benefits of library publishing with the new, lower cost of participating, and decide if an IR is right for your library.

Why You Should Care About Open Data: Open Access Week Thoughts On Why Research Data Rarely Are Reused, Christine L. Borgman
Why You Should Care About Open Data: Open Access Week Thoughts On Why Research Data Rarely Are Reused, Christine L. Borgman
Christine L. Borgman
Scholarly knowledge-sharing includes sharing research data, but while the supply of data is growing rapidly, demand exists in only a few research communities. This appears to be caused by factors related to trust, application, and practices. When collecting one’s own data, a researcher knows its origins, transformations, analyses, assumptions, strengths, limitations, access conditions, and likely longevity, but researchers may not have that information about data acquired from other parties. Librarians, archivists, and data scientists assist scholars with managing, curating, and disseminating their data, recommending practices with reuse in mind whenever possible. This lecture is by Christine L. Borgman, professor and …

Publishing Open Access E-Journals: Leveraging An Outreach Opportunity, Laura Edwards, Linda Sizemore, Kelly Smith

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.
Scholarship In The Networked World: Big Data, Little Data, No Data, Christine L. Borgman
Scholarship In The Networked World: Big Data, Little Data, No Data, Christine L. Borgman
Christine L. Borgman
Scholars are expected to publish the results of their work in journals, books, and other venues. Now they are being asked to publish their data as well, which marks a fundamental transition in scholarly communication. Data are not shiny objects that are easily exchanged. Rather, they are fuzzy and poorly bounded entities. The enthusiasm for "big data" is obscuring the complexity and diversity of data and of data practices across the disciplines. Data flows are uneven– abundant in some areas and sparse in others, easily or rarely shared. Open access and open data are contested concepts that are often conflated. …

Bypassing Roadblocks To Technical Information: Locating Freely Available Technical Information For Entrepreneurs, Anne E. Rauh
Anne Rauh
If you have ever had to seek technical information, you have probably run into an information access roadblock or a pay-wall. This is a major issue for our students as they leave our universities and our subscription resources and move on to become practitioners of their field. This session will outline the different types of freely available technical information - including patents, government funded technical reports, and open access journal literature - and demonstrate how to access them. The session will also give examples of how to integrate these resources into the classroom through design projects and information seeking assignments. …

Publisher Support For Self-Archiving: Laudatory Or Predatory?, Denise Troll Covey
Denise Troll Covey
Most publishers with self-archiving policies in the SHERPA RoMEO database allow authors to deposit their articles in a repository or post them to a website – supporting the green route to open access. Nevertheless, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) enthusiastically endorsed legislation proposed and defeated twice in the United States to prohibit federal agencies from mandating repository deposits of articles reporting on research they funded. The AAP also endorsed the Finch Report issued in the United Kingdom. The Report denigrated repository deposits and elevated open access publishing – the gold route to open access – as the preferred path …

Opening The Dissertation: Overcoming Cultural Calcification And Agoraphobia, Denise Troll Covey
Denise Troll Covey
This article places the struggle to open access to the dissertation in the context of the crisis in doctoral education and the transition from print to digital literacy. It explores the underlying cultural calcification and agoraphobia that deter engagement with openness. Solving the problems will require overhauling the curriculum and conventions of doctoral education. Opening access to dissertations is an important first step, but insufficient to end the crisis. Only opening other dimensions of the dissertation -- the structure, media, notion of authorship, and methods of assessment -- can foster the digital literacy needed to save PhD programs from extinction. …
