Open Access

Topics to discuss:

ways to involve students: SPARC initiative, Right to Research
ways to win over faculty; needed political action
metadata issues (not indexed, etc.)
collection development issues (ex. Sage all-or-nothing model), impending cultural shifts
self-archiving: a simultaneous possibility with existing publishing models; user education is needed (read your contract) > you may have the right to self-archive pre-prints
- authors need to be more aware of their rights and negotiate for more
the disconnect with traditional thinking (open access as a 'threat')
prestige gap (will this continue?), questions about quality, perception
P&B issue > more conversations needed about what open access means
open peer review
institutional support & communication > what role does the library play? should more direction come from the provost or other centralized source?
instituitional repositiories > should reflect the scholarly activity of the university, not just library special collections
question about copyright, pre-prints of articles > could this create hesitation?
ways to get the conversation started on campus? surveys?
need for libraries, both public and academic, to agitate for change, to take an effective stand in the commercialized serials universe
the whole system as it is doesn't make sense > we are paying twice
