    1. Open access projects and libraries Iryna Kuchma, eIFL Open Access program manager, eIFL.net Presented at Open Access: Maximising Research Impact, April 23 2009, New Bulgarian University Library, Sofia
    2. http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/transformational-times.pdf
    3. Transformational times
      • “ On the other hand,
      • the economic situation could be favourable
      • to the further development of open access publishing in Canada.”
    4. Transformational times
      • “ Open Access publication mandates
      • may well be adopted by the funding councils…
      • Data preservation will also likely be more widely mandated .
      • Systematic enforcement of the mandates will depend on the development of appropriate repositories, whether disciplinary or institutional .”
    5. Open Access (OA) & libraries
      • open access
      • has permanently changed
      • the field of scholarly communication
    6. OA & libraries
      • Open access
      • has changed
      • the profile of academic and research libraries
      • – more and more they have become partners
      • in research,
      • data-curation
      • and education,
      • ensuring the quality of digital resources is maintained, and openly sharing these resources with their users
    7. OA & libraries
      • Academic and research libraries
      • are setting up and maintaining
      • open access institutional or subject repositories,
      • becoming partners
      • in open access publishing,
      • and helping to create
      • open educational resources
    8. OA & libraries
      • Academic and research libraries
      • are also developing
      • advanced and enhanced metrics
      • – a new range of standardized indicators based on reader (rather than author-facing) metrics
      • and much more still remains to be explored
    9. Open data
      • Amount of scientific data
      • is growing every year
      • Access, use and curation
      • of large data sets
      • are becoming increasingly important.
      • Ensuring open access to the data
      • behind the research literature
      • will help to build a scholarly communication system that supports the needs of researchers
    10. Open data
      • As Open Data moves
      • to the forefront of scholarly communication,
      • librarians, administrators, and researchers
      • have to consider new access policies
      • for data and data curation issues
    11. Open data
      • Raising awareness and understanding
      • of data issues amongst researchers,
      • providing archiving
      • and preservation services for datasets,
      • and developing a new professional strand of practice – data librarianship are key challenges for the library and information science community
    12. OER
      • The Cape Town Open Education Declaration
      • defines open educational resources (OER)
      • as "openly licensed course materials, lesson plans, textbooks, games, software and other materials that support teaching and learning."
      • It goes on to state that these resources should be "... licensed to facilitate use, revision, translation, improvement and sharing by anyone."
    13. OER
      • OER have the potential
      • to transform the way scholarship is conducted and they are a logical extension
      • of what the library community supports in the open access movement
      • Libraries have a role to play in the open education by encouraging the creation and use of open materials
    14. Changing landscape
      • In this changing environment
      • for scholarly communication
      • academic and research libraries
      • need to be
      • agile,
      • creative,
      • risk-taking
      • and innovative
      • in order to respond to the needs
      • of a new generation of faculty and students
    15. Changing landscape
      • Science is dynamic
      • and collaborative
      • and it is important
      • to sustain the communication processes,
      • rather than to simply archive research results
      • in the form of a single journal article
    16. Changing landscape
      • Librarians and information specialists
      • need to be involved in the early planning
      • and data-modelling phases
      • of research
      • in order to accelerate learning
      • and discovery,
      • and libraries will need
      • to become core collaborators on campus,
      • using technology
      • to advance scholarly communication
      • and enable a climate of openness
