  1. Introduction

  2. Introductions Who we are Who are you?

  3. Eventually, Steve looked up. His mother was nowhere in sight and this was certainly no longer the toy department. Gary Larson

  4. Scholarly Communications: From Understanding to Engagement “The goal of the program is to empower participants to help accelerate the transformation of the scholarly communication system.”

  5. Agenda • Emerging Opportunities • Access • Lunch • Intellectual Property • Engagement • Next Steps

  6. 1. Brainstorm at your tables some common questions about scholarly communications that you are asked or that you wonder about. Make a list. 2. With your table mates, choose one or two you would like to share with the wider group. Brainstorm, Björn Andersson, from The Noun Project (CC-BY 3.0)

  7. Why should I care about Open Access? I can get access to everything that I need. Why doesn’t the Library just stop subscribing to large journal packages? I don't use or publish in costly journals. My field is more about book publication than journal publication so how do these changes in scholarly publishing & communication affect me? Is Open Access publishing serious scholarly publishing? Isn’t it for someone who can’t get published in a serious journal? I have to publish in the key peer-reviewed journals in my field in order to get tenure. My scholarly society is thinking about moving their journal to a commercial publisher. Are there other options? I just found out that my funding agency requires that I make the results of my research freely available online. I’ve also heard that some funding agencies require data management plans. What does this mean? Why should I pay attention to author’s rights? I post my article/book chapter on my website anyway. Can I use the graph I published in Journal X in a future publication? What’s the point of an institutional repository? I want my article to be open access but I really don’t think that the author should have to pay for it. Do you have any suggestions? As a Collections Librarian, I am getting increasing demands from our faculty to support institutional memberships for a number of Open Access collections. My Administrators also want me to support other new model initiatives like SCOAP3, DOAJ, ArXiv and The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. There is no room in the budget. What can I do to create a sustainable support model for scholarship? Why does the library continue to cancel journals that I need in my discipline even when budgets aren’t flat?

  8. What questions do you have?
