Open Access: The Book Challenge
•
1 like•411 views
Open Access books are being funded through various experiments including combining open access editions with print/e-book sales, institutional support from organizations like the World Bank and Amherst College, and research funding bodies in countries like the Netherlands, Austria, UK, Germany. Publishers are also implementing author-side publication fees for open access books, and other funding methods include general crowd-funding campaigns and having library consortiums fund books. Additionally, some libraries are collaborating with publishers on open access publishing and engaging in their own library publishing initiatives.

This document discusses open access in Europe, highlighting current gaps and challenges. It notes that while there is broad participation in open access through institutional repositories and open access journals, uptake of repositories remains low without incentives. Authors also often sign away their copyright to publishers of prestigious journals. The system remains difficult to change as long as funders prioritize high impact factor journals. SPARC Europe promotes alternative models of quality evaluation and open access publishing to help drive change. Open access also provides opportunities for public and national libraries to increase readership among citizens, though digital and scientific literacy must be improved.

A new typology for library buildings in the 21st century: trends and post-occ...
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Karen Latimer, Queen's University Belfast.
Abstract
"The impact of electronic resources and the changes in information provision have had a significant impact on the design of library spaces in the 21st century. Contrary to some doom-laden predictions, however, the demise of the physical library has not come about and libraries have embraced technology rather than been ousted by it. Indeed the relationship between electronic resources, print material, library users and architecture has sparked off a new interest in library design. The need to create attractive and welcoming spaces for the digital library, spaces that are conducive to learning, and staff workspaces that are fit for purpose is a major challenge for any of us looking at library spaces – large or small. Needs of users have now become paramount and there has been a clear move away from designing library spaces to house collections to ones that foster creating connections between users and resources, users and each other, and users and library staff. This talk will look at recent trends in the design of libraries and library spaces and the impact on design of technological advances, the shifting balance between print and electronic collections, and social and pedagogical change.
A further focus of the talk will be on post-occupancy evaluation. As library staff become less concerned about metrics for shelving stock and concentrate more on how spaces are used and user reaction to new spaces, it becomes increasingly important to identify what works and what doesn’t. A key element in establishing which aspects of design have been successful and which less so is post-occupancy evaluation (POE). This talk will touch on recent work being carried out on POE by such bodies as IFLA and LIBER and how information generated from evaluation exercises can be used to solve problems, help decision-making and feed back into future planning programmes.

Knowledge Unlatched by Frances Pinter
Knowledge Unlatched is a global library consortium that works with publishers to make scholarly books openly accessible. It aims to provide a sustainable path to open access for humanities and social sciences monographs. The consortium shares the fixed costs of publishing digital editions among member libraries. This lowers the risk for both libraries and publishers. Initially, Knowledge Unlatched will select a modest collection of 30-50 titles from publisher submissions for its first unlatching package in 2013-2014. It will then scale up by repeating the process with additional subject collections, titles, and publishers over time. The goal is to spread publishing costs across institutions to make open access a reality for scholarly books in a minimally disruptive way.

Placebo in cancer
1) This article examines the ethical, scientific, and regulatory issues regarding the use of placebos in cancer clinical trials.
2) It argues that placebo controls may be justified in certain situations, such as when existing therapies are minimally effective or have serious side effects, or when placebo response rates are high.
3) For a placebo-controlled trial to be considered ethical, patients must provide full informed consent and those receiving placebo should not face substantially higher risks of serious harm compared to active treatment groups.

Apple and samsung, 'frenemies' for life
- Apple and Samsung were initially partners but became rivals as Samsung started producing smartphones and tablets similar to Apple's iPhone and iPad, hurting Apple's market share.
- Apple sued Samsung for patent infringement but after two years of legal battles, the court has not sided decisively with either company and the lawsuits appear to be reaching a stalemate.
- Despite their rivalry, Apple and Samsung still share a complex, interdependent relationship as major suppliers and competitors in the mobile device market, and cooperate to compete against other rivals like Microsoft and BlackBerry.
Open Access: The Book Challenge
Spending on print monographs at the University of Manchester library has fallen 37% from 2009-2013, while spending on individual eBooks has increased 148% and eBook subscriptions have increased 39%. The ratio of the average cost of an eBook to a print book has also increased during this period. While subscription eBook packages provide access to more titles at a lower individual cost, they can include unused titles and move towards the expensive "big deal" model of journal packages. The library is considering alternative models of hosting open access publishing and reducing costs of eTextbooks and research eBooks to increase access and lower barriers.
Open Access: The Book Challenge
This document discusses challenges facing monograph publishing and collecting in libraries. It notes that the market for monographs is shrinking as library budgets have not kept pace with growing information outputs. Individual monographs are discretionary purchases, so sales are declining and prices are increasing. It explores alternatives to the traditional "just in case" model of collecting all monographs, such as "just in time" access and collective ownership through shared storage facilities. Potential solutions discussed include new publishing models that reduce costs and risks, and increasing open access to disseminate research more widely. A national monograph strategy is being developed in the UK to address these issues through a shared infrastructure and new applications and business models.
Open Access: The Book Challenge
This document summarizes a presentation on open access and academic books. It outlines the history of open access initiatives and policies from funders like HEFCE and Wellcome Trust. It analyzes publication patterns across disciplines using 2008 RAE data, finding books are more common in humanities while journals dominate sciences. Options for open access books include gold (with fees), green (with embargoes), or mixed models. Key issues discussed are sustaining monographs, peer review, and how open access may impact "trade" books and interdisciplinary work.

Wisconsin Distance Education Conference 2010 open access publishing seminar
These are slides used by 4 authors of books released as Open Access by Athabasca University Press. The presentation also compares impact of open versus proprietary publication of scholarly work.
Scholarly communication
Scholarly communication refers to the process by which academics produce and share knowledge. It began with scholars meeting to discuss ideas and corresponding through letters. As numbers grew, scholarly journals emerged in 1665 to facilitate the dissemination of research. Throughout the 18th-19th centuries, journals specialized and prioritized scientific findings. Major growth occurred post-WWII. Now, issues include author rights, visibility, and new publishing models like open access, which makes research publicly available online for free. Open access aims to address the "journal crisis" of rising costs limiting access. It benefits knowledge sharing and increased citations, though some debate potential disadvantages like loss of prestige or increased plagiarism risk.
AAUP 2009: Directions for OA (E. Ferwerda)
The document discusses open access publishing of monographs and describes the OAPEN project.
OAPEN aims to develop an open access publication model for peer-reviewed academic books in the humanities and social sciences. It involves 7 university presses and 2 universities across 6 European countries. OAPEN is taking a hybrid approach, making the basic online edition freely available while other printed or e-book editions can be sold. Funding agencies would pay the costs of publishing the open access editions. The project has produced guidelines and tools to help implement this open access monograph model.

The rise of new university presses and academic-led publishing
The document summarizes the results of a study on new university presses (NUPs) and academic-led presses (ALPs) in the UK. It finds that 19 NUPs currently exist in the UK, with 12 more universities considering starting a press. Motivations for starting presses include supporting open access publishing and early career researchers. Formats published include journals, monographs, and other works. The document also interviews representatives from 14 existing ALPs. ALPs are typically motivated by a desire to disseminate scholarship and provide an alternative to commercial publishers. Recommendations include supporting community building between presses and integrating presses into library services and infrastructure.

Openness: A sociological, psychological, legal and technological movement.
Open scholars are transparent by making their intellectual work digitally visible and inviting criticism and feedback. They create by maximizing social learning and connectivist pedagogies. They use and contribute open educational resources to save time. They openly apply their research, do open research by making lab notebooks public, filter and share information with others, support open learning alternatives, publish in open access journals which have increased citations, comment openly on others' works, assign open textbooks, induce open students who become co-creators and gain experience, teach open courses, build networks, and are agents of change who help cross-pollination and growth of learning networks.
AAUP 2014: OA Success and Sustainability (D. Corey)
This document discusses balancing the mission-driven goals of a university press with the need to operate profitably in the publishing industry. It outlines the traditional roles of a university press and libraries in supporting scholarship but notes the conflicting mindsets of higher education and commercial publishing. The document proposes an open access model called "The Bill Scott Model" that was a collaboration between a university press, library, and provost's office. This model aimed to increase discoverability and affordability of scholarship through various open and paid format options.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
