2. OUTLINE
Scholarly communication
Open access
Self archiving and its various ways
Directories
IR’s, Subject repositories, Cross archives
Open sources useful for PhD
3. Scholarly Communication
Defined
creating,
disseminating
and preserving scientific knowledge
network of complex relationships between a number of
players - authors, editors, publishers, distributors,
librarians and most importantly consumers of scholarly
information
4. Scholarly Communication in
Crisis
• Increasing control of scholarly journals
industry by the commercials firms
• High cost of scholarly journals verses low
library budget
• Shift from print to electronic form: the legal
framework
• Battle of ownership verses access
• Advent of open access publishing is a direct
threat to commercial publishers.
• Growing awareness of utilization of money
generated from taxpayers
6. What is "Open Access"
• According to"Budapest Open Access Initiative" (BOAI)
– It’s free availability on the public internet, permitting any
users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search,
or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for
indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for
any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or
technical barriers other than those inseparable from
gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on
reproduction and distribution, and the only role for
copyright in this domain, should be to give authors
control over the integrity of their work and the right to
be properly acknowledged and cited
(http: //www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml).
7. BOAI recommend two complementary strategies for
authors to participate in open access these are:
Open Access Journals (Golden Road)
Self-Archiving of E-Prints (Green Road)

19. SELF-ARCHIVING OF E-PRINTS
"Self-archiving" refers to making "e-prints" available
on the Web. An e-print is either a digital preprint or
a postprint.
20. E-PRINTS ARE TYPICALLY MADE AVAILABLE IN ONE
OF FOUR PRIMARY WAYS:
author's personal website;
a disciplinary archive that includes works by
authors worldwide about one or more subjects;
an institutional e-print archive that includes e-prints
by authors in a single academic unit, such as a
department, or the entire institution; or
an institutional repository that includes diverse
types of digital works (e.g., data sets, electronic
theses and dissertations, presentations, and
technical reports), including e-prints, by authors at a
single institution.
21. DEFINITION OF IR
An institutional repository is a digital archive of the
intellectual product created by the faculty, research
staff, and students of an institution and accessible
