European Universities and their Libraries are moving to a position where Open Access dissemination addresses a number of key agendas. This paper will review the economic framework for Open Access, based on detailed costing studies from the UK, and then present case studies where Open Access has been used to deliver on key institutional challenges. Work being undertaken by LERU (League of European Research Universities) in the area of Open Scholarship and Open Knowledge will be explored and case studies presented which describe the successful implementation of Open Access approaches in the fields of research publication and research theses. The paper will suggest a road map which all European Universities and their Libraries can follow to adopt Open Access approaches to the dissemination of teaching, learning and research outputs.
University and Research Libraries in Europe – Working towards Open AccessLIBER Europe
The purpose of this presentation is to place LIBER’s work on the DART-Europe portal (at http://www.dart-europe.eu/) for Open Access research theses in the context of global developments in Open Access. LIBER (at http://www.libereurope.eu/) is the principal European library organisation for research libraries.
The presentation examines the work of John Houghton on the economics of Open Access, looks at critiques of that work, and comes to a view on how this debate should be taken forward in order to maximise visibility to research output.
That emphasis on visibility is one of the main concerns of the DART-Europe portal, which currently provides a central access point to 175,000 research theses in Open Access from nearly 300 European Universities.`
Europeana Libraries, currently under negotiation with the EU, aims to deliver a sustainable pan-European library aggregator for research libraries to feed material into Europeana.
LERU (League of European Research Libraries) at http://www.leru.org/index.php/public/home/ has instigated a piece of work to look at what position, if any, LERU member Universities should take on Open Access. A draft policy statement, endorsing Open Access, is being considered by LERU Rectors in November 2010 with a view to future work.
Through all this work, LIBER is working with European agencies and Universities to create modern, innovative services to support the European researcher.

Managing a crisis: ways to develop library services in changing timesLIBER Europe
Managing a crisis requires developing library services in changing times. Joint procurement of digital content through consortia like JISC Collections in the UK has resulted in significant cost savings through economies of scale. Innovation also comes through collaboration, as seen with DART-Europe which aggregates e-theses metadata for European universities at no cost to members. As funding gets tighter, libraries must pursue new income sources such as contracts, project funding, and philanthropic donations. When making difficult decisions about cuts, libraries need an evidence base from robust management information to ensure choices are well-informed.
Presentation for agINFRA Hackathon in Athens 12th December 2013Jane Bromley
This document describes a three step process for identifying and summarizing open educational resources related to agriculture from the Open University's OpenLearn platform:
1. Identify subject topics relevant to agriculture from the Open University's subject listing.
2. Query the OpenLearn dataset to find units tagged with the relevant agriculture subjects.
3. Extract metadata for the matching units using SPARQL queries or a Python script to output the data in JSON or RDF/XML format, providing summaries of the available agricultural resources.
The process allows agricultural data and resources to be efficiently identified and summarized from the Open University's free open educational materials on OpenLearn.

LIBER is a network of over 425 European research libraries that aims to promote the interests of research libraries. It plays a key role in several EU-funded projects related to digitization, open access, and digital preservation. Some of LIBER's current projects include Europeana Libraries, which will provide over 5 million digitized objects to Europeana, and APARSEN, a digital preservation network. LIBER encourages French research libraries to get involved in its activities and partner on future projects.
The document discusses potential options for Europeana Research to better serve the research community. It outlines several options such as: 1) helping researchers find non-digitized content through metadata from libraries and archives, 2) building collections of digitized primary sources, 3) developing tools to analyze content, 4) hosting a safe space for copyrighted materials, 5) linking objects to secondary sources, and 6) hosting reference data. The Europeana Cloud project will explore developing a Europeana Research platform and providing access to digitized content and metadata while expanding agreements over the next 3 years. An early vision with concrete goals is needed.
The document discusses tools that libraries and researchers can use to improve the visibility and impact of research. It describes social bookmarking services like CiteULike and Mendeley that help researchers organize references and collaborate. It also outlines altmetric tools that measure online attention to articles, and services like ORCID that address name ambiguity. The library provides resources to track top cited articles and measure publishing at their institution.
This document provides an overview of library management systems (LMSs) from 2001-2005. It notes that a small number of large companies dominated the LMS market during this period. LMSs began integrating multiple information sources and providing federated search capabilities. They also started linking with course management systems and addressing management of electronic resources. Major initiatives like the People's Network in the UK and JISC funding influenced LMS development and library services.
This document provides an overview of open access and institutional repositories. It discusses the rising costs of journal subscriptions, leading researchers and funders to support open access models. Two main open access routes are publishing in open access journals which do not charge subscription fees, and self-archiving research in open access repositories. The document outlines the development of repositories at institutional, national and international levels to increase access to scholarly works.

Frederick Friend: Where we are now in opening research results and data NeilStewartCity
The document discusses progress towards open access to research publications and data. It defines open access as free online availability permitting reuse without financial or legal barriers. Since 2002, strategies of self-archiving in repositories and publishing in open access journals have increased open access publications to around 20-23% globally. While government policies aim to increase open access, they are unclear and risk being expensive. Local actions by universities and researchers can better promote open access through monitoring policies, supporting authors, and engaging departments. Open access to research data also presents opportunities and challenges regarding standards, ownership and infrastructure.

OpenAIRE at the Open Access day, Vienna, March 2011OpenAIRE
The document discusses OpenAIRE, an initiative to support open access for projects funded by the European Union's FP7 and ERC programs. OpenAIRE aims to build an electronic infrastructure for identifying, depositing, accessing, and monitoring open access publications from EU-funded research. It will provide support structures to help researchers comply with open access policies and will explore scientific data management services. OpenAIRE is a three-year project with 38 partners across Europe that began in December 2009 with a budget of 4.1 million Euros.
The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has been actively supporting open access since 2001 through a variety of initiatives. These include covering article processing charges, signing open access declarations, establishing green and gold open access policies, and joining open access repositories. In 2013, the FWF published data on its publication costs that year, totaling over 3 million Euros. Current challenges for the FWF include negotiating offsetting deals with publishers, enforcing open access principles, and establishing price caps and embargo periods. Long-term challenges involve setting uniform open access policies in Europe, defining strict openness principles, transitioning to non-commercial publication models, and cross-border funding of open access infrastructure.
The role of research libraries in a European e-science environmentWouter Schallier
This document discusses the role of research libraries in supporting e-science, which involves large-scale computing, data-intensive research conducted over the internet in collaborative and distributed teams. E-science requires new strategies for research support through integrated infrastructures. Research libraries must reinvent themselves by integrating library services into virtual research environments, supporting data management and preservation, and recruiting content like datasets for repositories. This will allow libraries to remain essential partners in the new information environment of e-science.
This document discusses LIBER's portfolio of EU projects and their impact. It describes several projects LIBER has led or participated in, including Europeana Travel, ODE, APARSEN, Europeana Libraries, and MedOANet. These projects focused on areas like digitizing content, data exchange, digital preservation, and open access. The document evaluates the projects based on criteria like innovation, alignment with LIBER's strategy, collaboration, impact, and cost effectiveness. It indicates the projects generally scored well across these criteria.
1. F1000 Research was awarded a 4-year, 5.8 million euro contract by the European Commission to develop Open Research Europe (ORE), a publishing platform for research funded by the EC.
2. ORE will provide high-quality, rapid peer review and publishing of EC-funded research with no author publication costs. It will operate using open science principles like open peer review, open data, and early sharing of preprints.
3. The platform aims to be transparent in its processes and costs, lead by example in open science, and explore sustainable open access business models to potentially broaden its scope over time. Submissions to ORE will open in December 2020.

Applying Bourdieu's Field Theory to MLS Curricula Development. Charlotte Nord...LIBER Europe
The document discusses applying Pierre Bourdieu's field theory concept to analyze the changing positions of research librarians within university structures over time. It presents field theory concepts such as fields, doxa, habitus, and forms of capital. Diagrams show how positions within the university and library fields have changed, with research librarians previously higher in cultural capital now lower. Reasons for this include changes in client needs and other library staff professionalizing. It suggests ways for research librarians to reclaim prestige by ensuring services' value and combining domain knowledge with client needs. Finally, it outlines a new flexible master's program to help research librarians specialize in areas like project management, bibliometrics and data management
Growing a Culture for Change at The University of Manchester Library. Penny H...LIBER Europe
The University of Manchester Library underwent a culture change process to improve their strategy and leadership. Their initial strategy saw over 100 projects but lacked staff involvement which led to disconnect and resistance. To improve, they held meetings to get staff feedback and have staff self-elect involvement in developing a new strategy. For the new strategy, 30 staff were involved across 4 themes linked to the university's goals, compared to just 3 staff previously. Lessons learned included the importance of empowering staff, maintaining involvement, and regularly checking in with staff.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
Education, research and development in Europe: how libraries are changing

6. Conclusions
3. Economics
In June 2009, a study was completed by Professor John Houghton
for the Knowledge Exchange, which compared the benefits of Open
Access in the UK, the Netherlands and Denmark
See http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/Default.aspx?ID=316.
In the three national studies, the costs and benefits of scholarly
communication were compared, each based on three different
publication models
Modelling revealed that the greatest advantage would be offered by
the Open Access model
4. Economics
Adopting this model, according to Houghton, could lead to annual
savings of around
€70 million in Denmark
€133 million in The Netherlands
€480 million in the UK
Houghton also concludes that, even if the cost saving for Open
Access was zero, increased returns on Research and Development
alone would justify a move to Open Access
Houghton suggests this is worth £172 million increased annual returns on
public (Government and academic) research in the UK
5. Economics
Houghton findings and methodology have been fiercely
criticised by publishers, particularly in the UK

available here:

commissioned by STM: http://www.berlin7.org/spip.php?article57
to which Houghton/Oppenheim replied: http://www.cfses.com/EI-
ASPM/Comments-on-Hall%28Houghton&Oppenheim%29.pdf
6. Economics
Then there was the Prometheus exchange, not just Hall and
Houghton, but Martin Hall’s paper too is well worth reading:

Houghton and Oppenheim then replied to the Prometheus papers

I am very grateful to Dr Neil Jacobs of the JISC for providing
this reading list of materials
7. Economics
The discussion is complex, with many individual points debated
Way forward proposed here is to examine two exemplar points and
then to suggest a way forward to develop the debate
2 points to be examined here are:
Savings in, and impacts on, the Library budget
Access to research literature
Next steps in developing the Scholarly Communications debate
8. Economics
1. Where are savings to come from? They will be made from
current library expenditure (2007), resulting in some cases in
greater savings than the amounts currently being spent
Hall, S. (2009) Widening access to research information: collaborative
efforts towards transitions in scholarly communications, Paper
presented at the Berlin 7 Open Access Conference, Paris, 2 December
2009. Available at http://www.berlin7.org/spip.php?article57
The primary question addressed in the Houghton/Oppenheim report
is the cost-effectiveness of the alternative models at the overall
system level, loosely, at the level of the UK economy, not at the
level of individual library budgets
Hall’s statement “They must be set against UK university library
spending in 2007” is quite simply wrong
John Houghton and Charles Oppenheim, Widening access to research
information: A response. Available at http://www.cfses.com/EIc-
ASPM/Cocccmments-on-Hall%28Houghton&Oppenheim%29.pdf
9. Economics
2. Access to research literature
“The fact is, the report’s authors have failed to show that there
is any real gap between the access that researchers have today
to the scientific literature that they need and that which they
might have under an open access model.” (Hall 2009, p. 18).

communications, Paper presented at the Berlin 7 Open Access
Conference, Paris, 2 December 2009. Available at
http://www.berlin7.org/spip.php?article57
10. Economics
“…access to research information content issues must be addressed
if the UK research community is to operate effectively, producing
high-quality research that has a wider social and economic impact.”
“The report’s key finding is that access is still a major concern for
researchers. Although researchers report having no problems finding
content in this age of electronic information, gaining access is
another matter due to the complexity of licensing arrangements,
restrictions placed on researchers accessing content outside of their
own institution and the laws protecting public and private sector
information.

11. Economics: Next Steps
Some of the figures used in the Houghton model are necessarily
estimates. Should better figures based on solid evidence become
available, these should be used
Publishers have figures, which they do not yet seem willing to share
Understandably, perhaps, these figures are commercial in confidence
Professor Houghton has developed a dynamic model of his
Scholarly Communications workflow, which is available for use
at http://www.cfses.com/EI-ASPM/SCLCM-V7/
12. Economics: Next Steps
Challenges to the Report are against the inputs rather than against
the models themselves, which Houghton-Oppenheim developed
Business Processes/Lifecycle by Bo-Christer Björk
The Solow-Swan growth model for economic growth
What is the issue we are trying to address?
It is NOT that Open Access is cheaper than the subscription model
Should we not look at the potential of a new scholarly
communications system, based on the use of public funds, to
transform itself into a completely new system?
The best outcome of the current debate would be to consider new
and differently-located forms of public investment in the development
of new knowledge systems, in which Libraries can play an important
role

18. UCL E-Publishing initiatives
UCL Publications Board favours work in 4 broad areas:
Research publications, particularly research monographs and
conference proceedings
Teaching support, particularly textbooks
Journal publication
Data publication
UCL is minded to take forward work in all these areas, in
a phased way
19. UCL E-Publishing initiatives
Journal Publishing
There is great interest in UCL in developing an overlay
journal publishing system, based on copy housed in UCL
Discovery, the institutional Open Access repository
Development work being planned would build on the
earlier successful RIOJA project (2008)
See http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/11927/
20. UCL E-Publishing Initiatives
RIOJA project investigated the feasibility of an overlay journal model
in collaboration with arXiv
RIOJA toolkit comprised a set of XML-based APIs for the exchange
of data between digital repositories and journals to facilitate
overlaying of academic journals on several digital repositories
Overlay Journals have to address issues known to conventional
publishing
Peer review
Sustainable Business Models
Academic buy-in
UCL plans to scale up the RIOJA work to develop a publishing
platform for Overlay Journals in the University
