Closing Keynote: Academy-Owned Non-Profit Open Access Publishing: An Approach To Achieve Participatory And Sustainable Scholarly Communications, Arianna Becerril García
Closing Keynote: Academy-Owned Non-Profit Open Access Publishing: An Approach To Achieve Participatory And Sustainable Scholarly Communications, Arianna Becerril García
Digital Initiatives Symposium
The prevailing science communication system has showed little success in making science a global, participatory and equitable conversation. At the same time, a very robust ecosystem of science communication has been built in the Latin-American region, one that is intrinsically open, non-commercial and academy-owned. However, this “regional” approach has remained outside the legitimated channels of scholarly communication.
AmeliCA’s and Redalyc’s approach is based on the fact that scholarly communication in control of the academy is a strategy much healthier and sustainable for the development of science and society. Why is it that commercial publishers are a pivotal actor in science …

Where Is The Social Democracy In Subscription Paywalls? Effects And Impact Of Transitioning Journals From Subscriptions To Open Access On Researchers In Developing And Transition Economies, Colleen Campbell, Rick Burke
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Nearly 20 years after the Budapest, Berlin and Bethesda Declarations on open access, the global academic community continues to struggle toward realizing its objective of an open information environment in which the world’s scholarly and scientific literature is freely available and at the service of society to accelerate research, enrich education and lay the foundation for a common, global intellectual exchange. Championing the cause, stakeholders in some geographic contexts have succeeded in delivering open access publishing options for their research outputs by fostering highly-regarded, locally-developed journals, platforms and repositories, yet a an enormous portion of the world’s scholarly literature continues …

Maintaining Your Identity: Supporting Our Own Faculty's Publishing While Participating In A Funded Consortia Publishing Program, Jennifer Coronado
Digital Initiatives Symposium
In May 2019, the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana was awarded a $525,000 grant from Lilly Endowment to improve student success and retention by supporting the use of open course materials across the 24 private institutional members. Since then, the PALSave administration team has reached over 100 faculty members across Indiana, created an adoption pilot program, and received over 40 faculty reviews for the Open Textbook Library. Now, PALSave is developing a publishing program, with full funding for five textbook creations over five years. The Butler University Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Team conducted a Digital Needs Assessment Survey and found …

Digital Initiatives Symposium
Funded by a National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Foundations Grant, the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture’s “Mapping Renewal” pilot project focused on creating access to and providing spatial context to archival materials related to racial segregation and urban renewal in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, from 1954-1989. An unplanned interdisciplinary collaboration with the UA Little Rock Arkansas Economic Development Institute (AEDI) has proven to be an invaluable partnership. One team member from each department will demonstrate the Mapping Renewal website and discuss how the collaborative process has changed and shaped …

Featured Speaker: Facilitating Oa Transformation Through Publisher Engagement: The Uc Experience, Ivy Anderson
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Libraries across the globe have been pursuing open access for decades, but until recently, progress has continued to be painfully slow. Transformative open access agreements with publishers have begun to change this, as institutions in Europe and increasingly in the US as well are now negotiating open access agreements with major publishers. By transitioning major journal license expenditures from ‘read access’ to support open access publishing, we can begin to achieve open access at scale, supporting our authors in all of the journals in which they choose to publish. This talk will discuss UC’s experience in negotiating transformative open access …

Beprexit To Nowhere: The Institutional Repository Platform Landscape From The Perspective Of Small-To-Mid Sized Private Institutions, Shannon Kealey, Jennifer Beamer
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Is your institution planning or hoping to plan a beprexit? If so, you are not alone. Many colleges and universities are seeking alternatives to Digital Commons since the August 2017 acquisition of bepress by Elsevier. The Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC) Institutional Repository (IR) Subcommittee formed in late 2017 to perform an environmental scan of current and emerging institutional repository platforms and the ways in which they meet the needs and match the values of SCELC member institutions, the majority of which are small to midsize private colleges and universities that do not have the staff or infrastructure to …

Open Access Campus Conversations Cohort, Amanda Y. Makula
Open Access Campus Conversations Cohort, Amanda Y. Makula
Copley Library: Faculty Scholarship
The Open Access Campus Conversations Cohort is a discussion series for faculty members across campus, representing a variety of academic disciplines and unique perspectives, that meets regularly throughout the course of an academic year. The cohort seeks to establish a community where faculty members who are interested in issues related to open access and changes in the scholarly publishing ecosystem can gather, share information, learn from one another, and take actionable steps to provoke positive change at their institutions. While many scholarly communications outreach efforts are isolated, individual, or one-shot activities, the Open Access Campus Conversations Cohort is designed to …
