Ensuring Ada Compliance For Library Databases, Shaden Melky, Laura Delancey
Kentucky Convergence Conference
Electronic library content must be accessible to students with disabilities, however many institutions have focused on accessibility of physical facilities without considering the requirements for online information. Western Kentucky University (WKU) developed a required, automated program to audit WKU Libraries’ electronic content including, the website and library database vendors. Additionally, WKU began requesting documentation of accessibility features in the form of a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This presentation will focus on both our internal auditing efforts and the challenges of obtaining accurate vendor documentation.

Teaching Multimedia With Free Tools, Jim Lindsey
Teaching Multimedia With Free Tools, Jim Lindsey
Kentucky Convergence Conference
Students love doing hands-on work with multimedia – images, audio, video and Web sites. Unfortunately, software to do such work so can be costly and difficult to install. This hands-on presentation will show participants free tools for editing images, audio, video and Web site creation as well as how to incorporate them into their computer literacy courses. Most of the tools that will be shown are Web-based; students only need an Internet connection to use them. Since the session is short, hyperlinks to tutorial videos, sample assignments and grading rubrics will be made available to participants.

Outreach To Campus Administrators On Open Access Initiatives, Ryne Leuzinger, Jacqui Grallo
SJSU Open Access Conference
As librarians work to develop and support open access (OA) initiatives, it is essential that they communicate effectively with administrators, from the head of the library to the president or chancellor of their university. Librarians often find themselves at the nexus of OA initiatives and are well-positioned to bring together the interests of various units on campus and advocate for a given initiative to campus administration. In this presentation, which will be applicable to a broad range of higher education institutions, we will discuss effective practices and key takeaways from an open access initiative at CSUMB that focused on textbook …

The California Open Educational Resources Council: From Curation To Adoption, Katherine D. Harris, Diego Bonilla
SJSU Open Access Conference
California’s three public higher education systems (University of California, California State University, the California Community College System) enroll nearly 3 million undergraduate students and employ almost 100 thousand faculty. In 2012, the California State Legislature directed the three systems to create an online library of open educational resources to encourage the use of free or affordable textbooks and other materials throughout California’s public higher education system. Composed of faculty representatives from each of the three systems, the California Open Educational Resources Council (CAOERC) was formed and charged in January, 2014, with collecting, peer-reviewing, helping to curate, publicizing, and cultivating the …

Moving From Binders To Bytes: Processing, Digitizing, And Publishing A Paper-Based Archive To An Institutional Repository, Emily K. Chan, April M. Gilbert, Amanda L. Mellinger
SJSU Open Access Conference
At San Jose State University, a paper-based archive centering on library and information science history is being processed, organized, and uploaded onto ScholarWorks, the campus institutional repository. Prior to its digitization, the presenters grappled with many questions. What platform should be used to house the archive? What entry points would researchers expect in order to access the collection? What research purposes would this collection satisfy? The presenters will discuss their rationale for their decision-making in transferring 300 binders to an open access, digital format. Among the individuals who are involved in making this detail-rich collection openly accessible online and searchable …
Open Access And The Logic Of Collective Action, John Wenzler
Open Access And The Logic Of Collective Action, John Wenzler
SJSU Open Access Conference
In the digital age, academic libraries confront the dilemma of collective action. In the era of print, each library stored, organized and provided access to a collection of scholarly resources for researchers at a local institution. On an integrated electronic network, all of these tasks become shared endeavors. One copy of a journal article housed on an Internet server provides faster and more convenient access to the scholarly community than 1,000 printed copies scattered across the country. Thus, the work of maintaining the article and making it discoverable can be done by one organization for the entire community instead of …

Open Your Research Without Opening Your Wallet, Janelle L. Wertzberger
Open Access Week at Gettysburg College
Open scholarship promotes sharing and collaboration, increases readership, and amplifies impact. It is gaining traction as institutions, professional associations, and funding agencies encourage or require broad sharing of research results. Yet many authors believe that the only way to open their work is to pay publishers thousands of dollars for the privilege. Luckily for us, that just isn’t the case. Come hear about a range of ways to open your research without paying for the privilege!

Engrossed, Enraged, Engaged: Empowering Faculty In Transforming Scholarly Communication, Jen Waller, Jennifer W. Bazeley
Charleston Library Conference
Librarians are deeply invested in the scholarly publishing lifecycle. This investment, in tandem with an evolving scholarly communication system, has encouraged librarians to become advocates for transformation in this landscape. At the same time, some faculty members have been slower to understand the complexities of the current system and its evolution. At Miami University, traditional communication methods weren’t sufficient to meaningfully engage faculty in these evolving trends. As a response, several librarians designed and cofacilitated two Scholarly Communication Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) for two academic years. These FLCs have been the most successful method of increasing faculty understanding about scholarly …

What's The Deal With Data? Understanding Research Data Management & Support At Uvm, Elizabeth A. Berman
UVM Libraries Conference Day
In 2011, the National Science Foundation (NSF) began requiring that researchers submit two-page data management plans (DMPs) with their grant applications in order to demonstrate how they will preserve and provide long-term access to federally-funded research data. In 2013, the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a memorandum that requires all granting agencies to develop a plan to make both the data and published articles of federally-funded research publicly available, free of charge. These policies directly impact the University of Vermont: in FY 2014, UVM received 615 grants and contracts amounting to $128 million, 70% of …
