Beyond Access, Paul Peters
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Advocates of open access have generally focused on the benefits that an open access publication model will have in terms of providing researchers with increased access to scholarly literature. However, there are equally important benefits that open access can have in creating a more economically efficient market for scholarly journals. A business model based on publication charges can potentially enable far greater competition between publishers, ultimately leading to a more functional market than currently exists in the subscription world. In evaluating the various business models that can provide open access, it is important to understand the impact that each model …
Access To Global Information—A Case Of Digital Divide In Bangladesh, Anisur Rahman
Access To Global Information—A Case Of Digital Divide In Bangladesh, Anisur Rahman
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
ICTs can reduce communication costs and break down geographical borders. In the developed nations government policies are being established which attempt to ensure that all citizens will get the opportunity to access the effective use of ICTs in order to enable them to participate in the educational, social and economic activities and democratic processes. Developed countries are getting much benefit from the advancement of ICTs. There is digital divide between developed and developing countries. The term digital divide has been applied to the gap that exists in most countries between those with ready access to the tools of ICTs, and …

Enabling International Access To Data Sets: The Distributed Data Curation Center (D2c2), James Mullins
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The challenge of accessing, maintaining, sharing and preserving massive datasets, generally referred to as data curation, has been a direct result of computational e-science. Although scientists and engineers recognized the problem, the solution was not apparent. The principles that underlay library science are not widely understood or appreciated by those outside librarianship. The theory and principles behind librarianship are obscured by historical application primarily to print materials – books and journals – however, the same principles that apply to organization, retrieval, and preservation of print materials apply to the digital realm as well. The National Science Foundation (NSF) in the …

Library Service-Oriented Architecture To Enhance Access To Science, Richard Akerman
Library Service-Oriented Architecture To Enhance Access To Science, Richard Akerman
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
In the digital world, library services need to be transformed to recognize that automation and machine-to-machine communication of information enables many advanced features. NRC CISTI, Canada's National Science Library, has addressed this challenge using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Using SOA based on Enterprise Architecture, we have modeled services provided by the catalogue, services related to document delivery, and advanced services to provide more open data access. We will present a completed model of some library business functions, discuss the challenges of implementing an SOA within the library technology environment, and present our vision of how library SOA is an important enabler …

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Institutional Open Access repositories are becoming established as an important part of the university library and information services infrastructure. While early efforts to populate them with content have concentrated on the deposit of peer-reviewed research papers, there is a growing awareness of their potential as repositories of data and other non-text materials, and consequently a need to develop strategies and procedures that can realise this potential. Chemistry as a discipline has been slower than the physical and biomedical sciences to adopt and exploit Open Access concepts in the handling of experimental data and research publications. Chemical information is essential to …

Global Access To Science – Meeting The Revolution, Tom Cochrane
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
This paper considers the large changes occurring in the way science is done, and the global significance of such changes. It reviews the mission of librarianship in promoting access to science and then surveys developments in recent years specifically in improving open access to scientific publications, covering a range of issues including significant shifts in the public policy debate about access, as well as some of the arguments about the best means of achieving outcomes. It concludes with a review of fresh challenges in terms of access to scientific data (eResearch, eScience), and gives a view that while libraries cannot …
