Open Access: Key Strategic, Technical and Economic Aspects / ed. maolins
This document provides an overview of the book "Open Access: Key Strategic, Technical and Economic Aspects" edited by Neil Jacobs. The book contains 5 parts that cover the history and definitions of open access, perspectives from researchers, funders and other stakeholders, examples from around the world, and visions for the future of open access. It addresses topics such as business models, institutional repositories, open access policies in different countries, and moving beyond traditional scholarly communication to embrace new possibilities of the open web.

This document introduces open access and discusses some of its opportunities and challenges. It notes that access to knowledge is increasingly important in today's globalized world. While the internet provides widespread access to information, rising costs are limiting access through university libraries. Open access is presented as one model for providing free public access to academic knowledge, though there are debates around its implications for educational, legal, and economic policies, as well as interests in commercializing academic research. The document aims to broaden public discussion of open access issues.
The document discusses open access in higher education, science, and scholarship. It notes that while open access has benefits like allowing for quick dissemination of research findings, willingness to provide open access varies widely by discipline due to differing views on commercialization and factors like patent rights. In astronomy and astrophysics, open access is more prevalent, with pre-print servers allowing free access to publications pending peer review. However, adoption of open access journals is still relatively low among scientists. Addressing issues like data archiving costs and embargo periods could help further promote open access.
This document lists 35 open access library and information science journals. The journals cover topics such as digital libraries, scientometrics, electronic publishing, medical libraries, educational media and libraries, and information technology. Readers can freely access and use the content of these journals without payment.

David Terbeek at Re/Max Haven Realty presents 4333 Bluestone, a multi-unit property in South Euclid, OH. The suburban location offers a quiet break from the city. The property consists of two 8-suite brick buildings and a 17-bay parking garage. Maintenance has been exceptional with multiple capital improvements. Many long-term tenants provide consistent cashflow, though rents are slightly below market, offering upside potential.

The document discusses the idea of creating a unified catalog or "world's largest library" that would contain the catalogs of all libraries worldwide. It notes that while Amazon has millions of book titles in its catalog, a unified library catalog could contain tens of millions by combining the holdings of existing library collections. The document advocates enhancing catalog records with additional information like cover images, tables of contents, and reviews to help users discover relevant books. It also suggests making the unified catalog available online for users to search from anywhere in the world.
This document provides a historical overview of open access. It discusses key events in the open access movement, including the 2001 Budapest Open Access Initiative which aimed to promote free access to scholarly literature, and the 2003 Berlin Declaration on Open Access which was signed by many academic institutions worldwide. The document also examines some of the challenges to open access, such as concerns about loss of income from publishing and changes to existing systems of evaluating academic work. Overall it traces the development of open access from early initiatives to the present debate around establishing new models of academic publishing.
This document discusses open access in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics. It notes that while attitudes towards open access vary across disciplines, astronomy and astrophysics generally have a positive view. Research results in these fields are often made freely available online. The document advocates applying open access not just to publications but also to primary data. However, willingness to share data early varies. It also discusses issues like embargo periods and incentives needed to encourage open access publishing. Traditional publishers will need to adapt to new models to survive.
This document discusses open access to scholarly literature and digital library initiatives in South Asia. It provides links to resources on open access publishing models and policies, influential advocates of open access like Stevan Harnad, open access archives and repositories, studies on the impact of open access articles, and examples of open access policies adopted by universities.
This document discusses the background and motivation for a research study. It notes that the scholarly communication system established 350 years ago by Henry Oldenburg is now in crisis, as even the wealthiest libraries cannot purchase all academic publications. Journal prices have risen much faster than inflation or library budgets in recent decades. As a result, more than half of one research institute's journal subscription budget in India goes to only two large publishing companies, comprising over 10% of its total budget. This shows the system created by Oldenburg to share knowledge is now broken and compromises future scientific development.
