Ethics of Access: Is This Message Understood?
This document discusses issues around open access to information and intellectual property. It begins by distinguishing between open versus free dissemination of content and addresses the confusion this causes. Examples are given of how blog posts and figures can be shared without proper attribution. The document then discusses how content travels online from one site to another. Issues around who owns the rights to 3D printed designs and creations are raised. The document proposes some solutions like creating expanded citation guides and linking to university copyright policies. It encourages assigning digital object identifiers to scholarly blogs and use of Creative Commons to provide persistence and proper attribution as scholarship moves beyond traditional formats. The document concludes by inviting questions.
Cost of open what do you reckon it will be-
1. Several models for publishing and providing access to scholarly content currently have traction, including pre-prints, article processing charges (APCs) in hybrid journals, read-only access to journals, fully open access journals supported by library subscriptions, and open access monographs.
2. There is debate around whether APC costs and subscription costs for hybrid journals support different activities and should not be conflated, as most publishers claim, or whether they represent double-dipping.
3. Payment of APCs currently comes mostly from research offices and grants rather than library budgets, but libraries may play a larger role if collections budgets can cover rising journal costs in the future.
Developing the Collections Hub
Presentation given at the Mobius 2014 conference. This talk outlines paths collection management librarians can utilize to address the acquisitions and management of library materials. Collection managers have robust and extensive networks of talented colleagues, who help enrich and vitalize the daily operations and processes undertaken at any given library. Jill Emery will present ways in which collection managers can leverage these networks to enhance and create strategies to develop better information communication both within and outside the library. By becoming a network center, collection managers can create a dynamo effect that spreads out through the library organization as a whole.

All that counts
This document summarizes usage statistics from three academic libraries - Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, and Lewis & Clark College - regarding titles removed and added to their EBSCOhost aggregator package in 2012-2013. It found that the removed titles had much higher usage on average than the added titles. The changes also led to increases in interlibrary loan requests at two of the libraries. All three libraries will need to re-evaluate their need for full-text aggregator collections and identify alternative access options for high-use titles that were removed.
Discovery is in the eye of the beholder
This document discusses library resource management systems and the importance of consistent metadata standards. It mentions several library management systems like Sierra, Alma, and Intota. The document emphasizes using accepted standards to provide better linking capabilities between resources and avoid proprietary systems. Consistency in metadata is presented as a necessity.
Rethinking rst
The document discusses how librarians' mission is to facilitate knowledge creation through improving access to information. It considers how open access publishing is changing the role of librarians and libraries. Key points discussed include how open access affects acquisition of resources, cataloging, collection development, and tracking of faculty publishing and metrics. The document outlines stakeholders within the library and university that will be impacted by these changes and proposes service plans to address issues around acquisitions, cataloging, collection development, and more to adapt to the age of open access.

The survey found that while hybrid journal programs have been in place for several years, uptake of open access remains relatively low, averaging around 1-10% of total articles. Publishers reported offering discounts on subscription costs if a certain percentage of articles in a journal or from an institution are open access. However, tracking of open access articles and providing usage statistics to libraries remains a challenge.
NPG OA Presentation
This document summarizes recent developments regarding open access policies in the UK, EU, and US. In the UK, the Research Councils UK policy supports both gold and green open access routes, with funding provided through block grants. The EU's Horizon 2020 program requires open access to research papers and data from publicly funded projects, allowing fees to be paid upfront. In the US, various institutions like the University of California system are considering open access mandates, while legislation like the FASTR bill could lead to national policies. These changes may impact journal subscriptions over time as open access publishing increases. Tracking systems like ORCID will help libraries manage the transition.

Je transforming collections
Regional library consortia allow for resource sharing, demand-driven e-book purchasing, and shared electronic resource purchasing. Individual libraries offer on-demand services for immediate access to materials and tools for data management. Libraries evaluate collections annually through subscription reviews, circulation statistics, and usage comparisons to ensure resources meet campus needs.
NPG Open Access
The document discusses open access and academic research libraries in North America. It notes that while information wants to be free, it also wants to be expensive due to its value. It outlines support for open access from groups like SPARC, ARL, and ACRL. Barriers to open access in North America include a lack of mandates from universities and a lack of a concerted national effort. Forces encouraging change include the financial crisis and growing mandates and awareness from universities and researchers. Future trends may include libraries partnering with hybrid publishers and the growth of open access publishers who can publish quickly and impactfully while maintaining reasonable fees.
Ghosts in the Machine
This document discusses electronic resource management (ERM) tools and their potential uses. It provides definitions of ERM, lists examples of both commercial and locally created ERM tools, and recommends that libraries strategically assess their needs before selecting a tool. The document emphasizes developing a needs assessment to identify any problems with managing electronic resources and determining what functionality would help end users.
Npg library committee
The survey summarizes the responses from 20 US libraries about their current situation and outlook. Most libraries anticipate further budget cuts of up to 20% in 2010 affecting content, staff, and operations. While some new government funding programs may provide support, stimulus funds are uncertain. Publishers are advised to limit price increases, offer flexible purchase models, and ensure stable, long-term access to content across platforms.
Uksg agents, publishers, & added value
1. Librarians surveyed were generally more satisfied with subscription agents than journal publishers, giving higher ratings to agents for tasks like title list management, renewals, and technical services.
2. However, the margins between publishers and agents were narrower than expected, and publishers performed better than anticipated at resolving access problems.
3. Comments from librarians showed frustration with the annual renewal process for journal packages and a need for better title list management, suggesting room for improvement from both publishers and agents.
