Nature Network and ISN Gateway aim to:
1) Foster new forms of scientific communication and interaction online and offline to connect scientists around the world.
2) Build communities for scientists at different career stages and in different disciplines and locations to explore ideas, collaborate, and stay up to date in their fields.
3) Specifically, Nature Network serves early career scientists through groups, blogs, and events, while ISN Gateway focuses on connecting the nephrology community within a scientific society brand.

AgEcon Search as an example of subject repository that contributed to open access by hosting over 90 small scholarly journals. Other subject repositories and institutional repositories might consider including journals like these. Presented at the Digital Library Federation Forum in Milwaukee WI in November 2016.

Making Web2.0 for science: Co-production of Web2.0 platforms and knowledgeJames Stewart
This paper examines how two contrasting scholarly publishers are responding to the opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 to innovate their services. Our findings highlight the need to take seriously the role of publishers in the move towards a vision of more rapid and open scholarly communication and to understand the factors that shape their role as intermediaries in the innovation pathways that may be needed to achieve it.

Libraries Lead the Way: Open Courses, Open Educational Resoursces, Open PoliciesUna Daly
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) on Wed, Oct 2, noon Pacific American Library Collection(3:00 pm EST) for a free, open webinar on how libraries are leading the way with Open Courses, Open Educational Resources, and Open Policies. Three leaders who support students, faculty, and colleges through open educational policy and practice will be featured.
Dr. Patricia Profeta, Dean of Learning Resources at Indian River State College will share how she and other Florida State College librarians have developed open courses on information literacy and internet search to prepare students for college-level research. These courses have been published in Florida’s Orange Grove repository with a Creative Commons license.
Donna Okubo, Senior Manager of Community Outreach and Advocacy, at Public Library of Science (PLoS) will share their amazing collection of open science resources and journals that you can use in the classroom at your college. PLoS has implemented a new publishing model to support scholarly authorship and allow public access to the peer-reviewed results.
Nicole Allen, OER Program Director at, Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) of the Academic and Research Library (ARL) will share SPARC’s plan to broadens its advocacy from open research to include all open educational resources (OER). Working with college libraries to extend their copyright expertise to include open policies is a critical component.
