Capitalizing On A Captive Audience: A Collaborative Workshop Connecting Graduate Students To Open Access, Wendy Walker, Catherine Filardi
All Things Open
The complexities of Open Access can result in uninformed high-stakes decision-making for researchers on the cusp of entering the publishing world. Graduate students need to understand how Open Access influences their research practices, and how to negotiate rights in a complex publishing ecosystem. Here we describe a collaboration between research librarians and writing center professionals that integrates Open Access education into a workshop series on graduate student writing. Specifically, we co-designed a presentation that bridged manuscript preparation (an obvious publication step) with the less-obvious issues surrounding Open Access.

Both academic and entrepreneurial spaces benefit from the use of open resources. This presentation focuses on the latter space, as not every student is going to continue in academia. According to the National Science Foundation's 2012 Science and Engineering Indicators, "less than 17% of new PhDs in science, engineering and health-related fields find tenure-track positions within 3 years after graduation." The numbers are similar across most disciplines. Aajay Murphy prepares students for all potential post-college outcomes in this presentation, not just academia.

Data Sharing Through Open Access Data Repositories, Karin Bennedsen
All Things Open
The National Institutes of Health has expanded their data sharing requirements for obtaining funding to now include all awards for research producing scientific data to accelerate “biomedical research discovery, in part, by enabling validation of research results, providing accessibility to high-value datasets, and promoting data reuse for future research studies.” The new policy requiring a Data Management & Sharing Plan (DMSP) for all applications goes into effect January 25th, 2023. A DMSP includes where the data will be stored. This lightning talk will review Open Access Data Repositories. Don’t let the task of trying to find data storage hold you …
To Move A River: Libraries As Funders For Open Access Publication, Eric Buckenmeyer, Chelsee Dickson
To Move A River: Libraries As Funders For Open Access Publication, Eric Buckenmeyer, Chelsee Dickson
All Things Open
Much as Ohio University diverted the Hocking River to avoid catastrophic annual flood damage, so too must academic libraries consider alternative means of publishing materials to reduce inflating costs that drive a catastrophic loss of resources. To encourage transformative open access agreements that provide lower-cost and more accessible materials, Eric Buckenmeyer, Interim Teaching & Learning Librarian, and Chelsee Dickson, Scholarly Communications Librarian, have developed a proposal for an open access fund to begin “moving the river” of funding from gaining access to pay-walled materials to funding open access publishing content. In this talk, we discuss a vision of a publishing …

Lessons Learned On Licensing Presentations From An On-Campus Student Research Symposium, Alexa Hight
All Things Open
In Spring 2022, a group of faculty and administrators came together to host a pilot Student Research Symposium, and the library was invited to participate in the planning process. The conference proceedings were published via the TAMU-CC Repository. Digital copies of all posters and presentation materials were also added to the Repository. Due to ongoing research and other concerns, in addition to an embargo option, students were given the option to make their work available only to authenticated campus users. Students were also able to choose a Creative Commons License for their work or choose traditional copyright. This led to …

Searching For Oa Scholarly Content, Olga Koz
All Things Open
Academic search engines have become the number one resource to find scholarly resources. In contrast, search engines of academic databases, like Web of Science and Scopus, harvest research which is locked behind paywalls. Google Scholar and other academic search engines assist in finding open access content as well as the content of commercial databases. Dr. Olga Koz, Senior Research Support Librarian, will present academic search engines that enhance expert research on various academic subject matters.
