Increase Capacity for CSU-wide journal publishing

Melissa

  • Melissa will follow-up with Dave about updating and migrating the OJS guide to Wordpress

LORDS

jaime

  • Set date for Summer LORDS session: Thursday, August 5 at 1 pm

  • If interested in joining or getting started with LORDS over the summer, get in touch with jaime

  • jaime presented about LORDS at last week’s ACRL/NY Critical Pedagogy Symposium; did a live demo of a review session, and it went really well.

  • Growing interest among other groups (jaime participated in ALA panel and has been hearing from other campuses).

Open access documentation

Melissa

  • Conducted review of OA LibGuides across the system (as listed in the Google Sheet Mark shared previously) to inform CSU-wide documentation.

    • How should CSU-wide documentation differ from local LibGuides and related resources?

      • Duplication of introductory content would be okay, and local campuses could refer to the CSU-wide documentation for that purpose, if they so choose. In that case, local campus LibGuides could primarily be used for more specific content (e.g., OA fund, journal publishing support).

      • jaime shared Cal Poly digital terms glossary, which could be incorporated into CSU-wide documentation for library employees.

    • Pros and cons of different definitions of OA, e.g.:

      • Budapest OA Initiative: "free availability on the public internet, permit[s] any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" (used in DH and Chico guides)

      • SPARC: “free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment” (used in East Bay and LA guides)

      • Peter Suber: “Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions” (used in Fullerton and San Marcos guides)

      • Reflections: Use of “free” is misleading. Think about encompassing non-traditional forms of scholarship.

    • Many of the LibGuides include the PHD Comics Open Access Explained! video. Include this in the CSU-wide documentation? – Yes

    • As discussed last meeting, planning to promote local campuses resources for more information, but only nine campuses have OA/Scholarly Communication LibGuides at this time. Should we solicit campus contacts again (which will likely be the same as those identified for the OJS guide)?

      • Could include campus contacts and sub-pages of relevant LibGuides

Elsevier gold OA pilot

Melissa

  • 314 APC waiver requests approved so far

  • No issues over the last month

  • Outreach

    • Pomona: Alyssa recapped Elsevier pilot promotion during a Tech Tuesday; attended by several faculty who were excited about it. Questions about future support (e.g., APC funds for other publishers).
