  1. Openness & Open Access Openness Meetup | September 17, 2015

    Inspiration and ideas for many of these slides are taken from: Heather Joseph, ACRL 2015 presentation and Peter Suber, Open Access Overview
  2. Now, instead of physical constraints, access and use is constrained

    by business models, outdated IP policies, technical and other infrastructures, standards, misinformation... New Problems
  3. This community is working to enable unobstructed digital access to

    and usability of digital information. “Openness” as a solution Motivated by the public interest to maximize the power and value of digital information to learn, create, and solve problems.
  4. Defining “Open” “By open access, we mean its free availability

    on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software or use them for any other lawful purpose…” - The Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002
  5. Terms Open Access relates to access and use of scholarly

    manuscripts; may also refer to theses, books, book chapters, monographs and other content Open Data Open Educational Resources Open Source Software from Open Glossary: http://figshare.com/articles/Open_Research_Glossary/1482094
  6. Business Models... Annual increases in journal pricing are double or

    triple the increase in the CPI. Annual STM journal publishing revenues approach $10 BILLION. Annual textbook publishing revenues approach $9 BILLION. Heather Joseph, ACRL 2015 presentation, The STM Report,http://www.stm-assoc.org/2012_12_11_STM_Report_2012.pdf
  7. Open Access From Peter Suber Open Access Overview: http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview. htm

    Compatible with copyright, peer review, revenue, print, preservation, prestige, quality, career-advancement, indexing. Often focused on publicly-funded research. There are two primary vehicles for delivering OA to research articles, OA journals and OA repositories
  8. Open Access Policies Many possibilities Our goal: Default Open Grants

    the institution certain non-exclusive rights to future research articles published by faculty. This sort of policy typically offers a waiver option or opt-out for authors. It also requires deposit in the repository. Faculty Driven
  9. Engage 1 - You are a tenure-track professor. You have

    an article you’d like to publish. Your university has no open access policy. What do you want to know before you decide where and how to publish? 2 - You are a huge openness advocate and have created a slide-set you think may be useful for others. Which CC license do you choose? 3 - You have 15 minutes with the Provost who wants to know why campus should have an open access policy; what are the 3 points you will make?
