Journals come in a variety of “flavors” with regard to open access. As a result, those hybrid publications present their own challenges with regard to collection development and collection management. For most librarians, that challenge is closely related with one in an adjacent space -- compliance with funder mandates. There is an obligation to ensure that funded research materials are made available to the public present; that, in turn, presents its own set of issues. If you and your colleagues are wrestling with either or both of these issues, set aside time next month to participate in Managing an Open Access World, a two-part webinar from NISO!

 

You can register for one session as a stand-alone or for both at a package rate. Unavailable at the specified dates and times? Don’t forget that access to an archived recording of the event is included in the registration fee.

 

NISO Two Part Webinar: Managing an Open Access World, September 7 & 14

1:00pm – 2:30pm (Eastern)

 

As Open Access has proven itself a viable business model in the marketplace of journals, institutions are beginning to grapple with the implications and ramifications of its success. This includes the practicalities of how to manage acquisitions in a hybrid open access environment, dealing with discovery implications of open access, and institutional compliance with funder mandates. This two-part series will explore the practical issues of a world in which open access becomes the norm for some segment of scholarly communications.

 

Part 1: Open Access and Acquisitions, 1:00-2:30pm, Wednesday, September 7

http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/sep7_webinar/

 

The first part of this miniseries will focus on the implications of open access on content acquisition. What are the impacts of hybrid open access on publisher pricing at a title or collection level?  Is there a tipping point where open access availability of a portion of a title’s content will change the calculus about acquiring a title for one’s collection?  How do we keep track of the increasing number of open access titles and the increasing amount of hybrid open access content at a journal level? Presenters will cover these questions as well as provide information on research to explore these issues.

 

Confirmed Speakers: Jill Emery, Collection Development Librarian, Portland State University; Allyson Rodriguez, Strategic Collections Librarian, University of North Texas; Chris Bulock, Collection Coordinator for Electronic Resource Management, California State University – Northridge.

 

Part 2: Compliance With Funder Mandates, 1:00-2:30pm, Wednesday, September 14

http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/sep14_webinar/

 

The second part of this miniseries will examine how institutions address compliance requirements of funder mandates. As more and more funding bodies adopt mandates for open distribution of content, at many universities the tracking of this compliance is falling on the library directly or in support of research offices.  Are there ways to automate compliance tracking and strategies for improving compliance? This session will explore progress being made by initiatives to gather and disseminate open access compliance, as well as the perspective of funders who are requiring this information.

 

Confirmed Speakers: Pamela Shaw, Biosciences & Bioinformatics Librarian, Galter Library, Northwestern University; Jeff Broadbent, Associate Vice President for Research and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, Office of Research and Graduate Studies, Utah State University, and Betty Rozum, Data Services Coordinator and Undergraduate Research Librarian, Utah State University; Sarah Young, Health Science and Policy Librarian, Cornell University
