in your library

who
publisher: your library
editors/editorial board: faculties, departments, centres, associations
authors/reviewers: not your concern

when/where
now
your library

why
publication models are changing
many granting agencies require gold or green publishing practices
makes the research output of your university available to everyone

how
digital collections/services group
install is easy (OJS in an Hour)
getting the word out is hard

how (continued)
coordinate the installation
make MARC records available
ensure journals are indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals

so what?
build relationships between faculty and the library
direct involvement in research output
great marketing tool
OA publications have no barriers
future: collaboration with university presses?
