This document summarizes the University of Liège's institutional policy for setting up a successful open access repository. It discusses that repositories should be institutional in nature to be comprehensive and allow for mandates. The University of Liège implemented an institutional repository called ORBi that saw great success through a soft mandate approach of both carrots and sticks. ORBi now contains over 50,000 references and sees high readership numbers, demonstrating the benefits of open access institutional repositories.
"Where are my Marc records?" - Librarians' perception of discovery toolsFrançois Renaville
In February 2013, the ULg Library launched a new portal where the new library website and Primo were closely integrated. Three months before the official launch to the public, Primo FE was shown to library colleagues to get the first professional feedback. Several training sessions were organized for the library staff to focus on the differences between discovery tools and traditional opacs and to explain how our Primo would function (local data vs PCI, pipe process, normalization rules, deduplication, FRBRization...) Then, a survey was organized among the library staff to get their feelings and perceptions about discovery tools in general, and the impacts that such tools have, according to them on the users' habits and searches. Our presentation will explain how our library colleagues (directors, service heads, cataloguers, trainers, circulation staff, e-librarians, secretaries...) felt apprehensive and/or enthusiastic about switching to a discovery tool in general (not specifically Primo).
Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.

This tutorial is part of a number of sessions on the Institution as Publisher. The goal of the tutorial is to help interested librarians become Open Access publishers. The tutorial will start with a landscape overview and will use case studies from UCL press, Manchester University Press and Stockholm University Press. In a few hours, all the essential elements of academic publishing will be addressed: the workflow in publishing from manuscript submission to publication; the business plan; the technical infrastructure; funding models to sustain Open Access publishing; attracting authors to publish with the press.

Open to Opportunity: Possibilities for libraries in open education Sarah Cohen
Libraries around the country, and the world, are increasingly devoting time and resources to open education. But why? In what way are libraries part of this movement and how does it serve our missions and services? This presentation will describe the value that libraries’ engagement in this space can offer to our institutions, our students, and our profession; and, to outline possible ways forward for libraries that are interested in committing their limited resources to this transformative effort.

Open Data (and Software, and other Research Artefacts) -A proper managementOscar Corcho
Presentation at the event "Let's do it together: How to implement Open Science Practices in Research Projects" (29/11/2019), organised by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, where we discuss on the need to take into account not only open access or open research data, but also all the other artefacts that are a result of our research processes.
Presentation at the “Open Science: connecting the actors” event on the 21st of November 2022:
Share best practices, foster community, and encourage knowledge-sharing on Open Science.
At the heart of the Open Access Belgium community is the ambition to open up the way we organize and conduct scientific research.
The Open Science teams of the Belgian universities have developed and tested a wide range of training methods, training materials, networking activities
and data solutions to facilitate and foster Open Science. Achievements, tools and lessons learned by different institutions will be shared in this networking event.

Advocating Open Access: Before, during and after HEFCENick Sheppard
Since “self-archiving” of research outputs was first mooted in the mid-1990s, initiatives towards “green” Open Access (OA) across the sector have met with generally limited success and coverage in institutional and subject repositories is generally cited at around 20-30%. However, since the Finch report in 2012 combined with OA policies from RCUK, also in 2012, and HEFCE the following year, there is little doubt that a tipping point of awareness has been reached. This session will aim to contextualise the HEFCE policy in the broader history of Open Access and present a case study of a non-research intensive University and how the repository manager has sought to liaise with academic support services in order to facilitate knowledge exchange across the University. - See more at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/events/open-access-advocacy#sthash.9YqReHt0.dpuf

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Institutional OA policy at the University of Liège: how to set up a successful Repository
1. Institutional policy
at the University of Liège:
how to set up a successful
Repository
Bernard Rentier
Reitor
2. Open Access: the Concept
o All that matters is access! The rest is just
technical
o Access is provided by the Internet
o Access to results of research programmes
funded by public money must be toll-free
and without technical and financial barriers
o In principle, experimental data should be
freely accessible as well (Open Data)
3. Open Access: Repositories
o How can we guarantee free access while
preserving the advantages of the past ?
– Through electronic repositories
• Searchable by search engines
• If still under embargo, downloadable on request (e-print
request)
o Must repositories be centralised ?
– Must they be thematic ?
– Must they be institutional ?
4. Open Access: Repositories
o Centralised repositories
– do not collect everything ☹
– cannot be mandated ☹
– make life easy for Institutions ☺
o Thematic repositories
– have a restricted appeal ☹
– cannot be mandated ☹
5. Open Access: Repositories
o Funder repositories
– collect only what they have funded ☹
– can be mandatory ☺
– Can collect data automatically from other
repositories to generate repertoires ☺
6. Open Access: Repositories
o Institutional repositories
– Collect everything ☺
– Can be mandatory ☺
– Generate repertoires automatically ☺
– Can collect automatically data from other
repositories ☺
7. A mandate ?
o An institutional repository makes sense
only if exhaustive
o An institutional repository fills up only with
a mandate (90% vs 8%)
o Straight obligation is not part of the
University mores
o Many obligations do exist. all that is needed
is add this one but make sure it is
understood, to stimulate a positive spirit
o A mandate can be firm but soft
8. A mandate ?
o Publishers are not the real obstacle to
immediate, universal OA: researchers
themselves are !
o It is paradoxical: OA is in the interest of all
researchers but they usually fail to realise
it
o This is why we need the mandates
10. A mandate ?
o The Mandate « à la liégeoise »: a stick
– ORBi generates automatically a report that can
be downloaded directly by ULg Academic
Authorities
– ORBi generates automatically a report that is
the sole official document for evaluations at
ULg
• promotions
• grant proposals
• etc.
– The ORBi website is accessible to all, it can be
sorted, among other criteria, by author’s names
– The ULg institutional phonebook is linked
directly to ORBi
11. A mandate ?
o The Mandate « à la liégeoise »: a carrot
– ORBi publishes permanent statistics of
consultation
– ORBi publishes a« hit parade » of most
consulted authors and most downloaded
articles, etc.
– ORBi has direct links to any citation of the
articles it contains
– The report generated automatically by ORBi is
nicely and logically presented, according to the
traditional values of the major research sectors.
It can be used as a publication list for CVs and
can be printed in an updated version, at any
time
12. A mandate ?
o The Mandate « à la liégeoise »: a carrot
– Being in ORBi increases considerably the
readership of an article
– Being in ORBi increases citations of an article
– Being in ORBi provides a second life to older
articles
As long as the repository contains full text
references and is searchable by engines (no
pdf!!!)
13. Gamble was won ?
Well over our craziest hopes !
50126
30052
14. Success !
Over 50.000 references
– On average : 74.6 references added each day
– May 25, 2010 : 700 references added on a single day !
– Still far from the 10/day expected on cruise speed after the
rush…
– 4,652 ULg authors own references in ORBi
According to ROAR (http://roar.eprints.org ),
out of 1,097 institutional repositories,
– 39th
worldwide for the total number of references
– Number 1 for « high activity level » (number of days per year
with over 100 deposits/day
Open Access or Restricted Access ?
– > 30,000 Full Text (59.96%)
– 14,500 OA (47.63% of Full Text deposits)
15. ORBi : Observations
o ULg authors publish more than we thought
o The plateau level is not reached yet
o Catching up with previous years needs still
work…
16. An explanation : the mandate ? Not
only !
o Many more references introduced than expected
– 39.5% references older than required (2002)
– «Scientific Publications » in the broad sense
• « Traditional » Publications : 81.5%
• But also unpublished communications, reports, teaching
material, lectures, etc… : 18.5
o Much more Full Text than expected
– 48.8% articles older than 2002 are Full Text !
– 40.4% publications « non-articles » are Full Text !
17. Other explanations ?
o ORBi corresponds to a need for the
Institution but also for the researchers
– Multiple winners
– But need to convince (takes too much time,
hence the mandate!)
o ORBi puts the researcher to the center of
the game
– Nobody does it better
– Several authors, one entry
18. Other explanations ?
o Not just another tool for librarians. It is user-
oriented and user-friendly
– Light workload : 10 min/reference
– Focused on what makes sense for authors
– Variable according to disciplines
– Automatic helper tools :dynamic scrolling lists
– Contextual help
– Possibility to import (PubMed, WOS, SAO/NASA,
EndNote X, BibTeX …)
19. Other explanations ?
o Increased visibility
– Big Open Access harvesting tools (OAIster,
Driver, Scientific Commons, Base…)
– Google Scholar
– SciVerse (Elsevier)
– Broad scope search engines (Google,…)
20. Other explanations ?
o Added value Service
– Legal assistance
• Detailed legal Guide
• Automatic links to Sherpa/ROMEo (publishers’ policies)
• Legal toolbox (models of letters to publishers and of
legal texts or text modifications to keep or recover
diffusion rights,…)
– Active hotline
• A question ? An accurate answer within 24 h (including
during the WE…)
21. Other explanations ?
o Added value Service
– « Whatever happened to this paper ? Where is it
filed ? » (new PC, new lab, many versions,…)
– Visualisation & downloads
• Only by humans (exclusion 20.000 spiders,…)
• Distinguishing « at ULg » & « outside ULg »
• Per reference, per author, globally, per month, per
country, top 20,…
– Impact Factor (current + the year of publication),
IF5, Eigen Factor, article Influence
– Citations (Weekly): Google Scholar, WOS
– h-Index
22. Other explanations ?
o Added value Service
– Automatic generation of Reports
• Multiple use (CV, applications, web link,…)
• Multiple formats (PDF, HTML, DOC, XML…)
• Disciplinary presentation templates designed with
representatives of academic sectors
• Personalisation
– Different bibliographic formats (APA, Chicago,…)
– Other additions (optional): bibliométrics, abstracts, peer
review assessment,…
– Widget : Dynamic integration in Web pages
23. Other explanations ?
o Awareness
– Direct link with the University Phone Book
– ORBi sends around 12,000 e-mails per month to
co-authors (agreement, signatures,…)
– Emulation
24. A researcher’s goal when writing
a publication:
being read
o ORBi items are visible on Google search engines within one hour
o ORBi : 47th
worldwide out of 988 in the Ranking Web of World
Repositories 2010 (http://repositories.webometrics.info/ ) – 25th
IR
o Usage statistics : strong increase
– over 740,000 visualisations
– over 116,000 downloads
(currently: +800/day)
But still too « local »
– Belgium : 43,2%
– France : 16,7 %
o Effect on citations ?
to be determined (too early to say)
o Debriefing by ULg authors :
new contacts through e-print requests
25. The ORBi advantage
o Increase in readership
– Average number of downloads for references
2008-2010:
• 9.8 times more for papers in OA than in restricted
access (RA)
• 17.6 times more if downloads inside ULg are removed
(measured in september 2010 on 54,476 downloads of 11,814 references)
http://orbi.ulg.ac.be
26. ORBi : a complete success ?
o Still incomplete
o For 2009 :
– 1627 references in WOS
– 2160 references in ORBi
– 968 references in both
o Hence : 659 are still
missing in ORBi (45% !)
o What about those not in
WOS…?
27. ORBi : a complete success ?
o Still too many filing errors (13 %)
– Typos, mistakes in titles, misspellings, etc.
– 1 % Fraud (in the order of authors)
29. OA @ ULg
