THE PROBLEM
DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY?
“An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an
unprecedented public good.”
The Budapest Initiative, 2001
old tradition = the willingness of scientists and scholars to
publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake
of inquiry and knowledge
new technology = internetunprecedented public good
= world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-
reviewed journal literature and completely free and
unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious
minds
A WORK MADE “OPEN ACCESS” IS...
digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent.
CODE IS LAW
Lawrence Lessig, Creative Commons co-founder
Cyberspace has an architecture = its code Code has principles, terms – it defines
what is possible in that space.
We can use this code to write new law!

Now back to... SPARC
SPARC = international alliance of academic and research libraries working to correct
imbalances inthe scholarly publishing system.
WHY LIBRARIES?
SERIALS CRISIS
Journal subscriptions fees rise. (more than 42% increase in cost for all periodicals)
Library budgets are cut.
Serials Crisis: No library can afford to buysubscriptions to all journals.
Librarians become strong advocates of Open Access
LIBRARIANS ARE...
Educating faculty about Open Access
Gatekeeping digital repositories for Open Access
journals and booksSupporting Open Access
How can librarians prove that their libraries still provide -
education?
WHICH ROAD TO FOLLOW?
Green Road to Open Access: authors perform self-archiving upon publishing a peer-reviewed journal article
Gold Road to Open Access: institutions pay for their authors' gold open access publication fees (APC)
RESEARCH IN A DIGITAL AGE
Petabytes of data circulating the web Information needed fast Information flows freely
Collaborative research vs. focused research Scientists socially “networked”
New tools available Scientist must keep track of new inventions
Metric tools for citations on the web
CAN IT BE DONE THE SAME?
MANDATING OPEN ACCESSuniversity providing funds for the articles
written by its faculty
Institutions sign to COPE http://www.oacompact.org/compact/ Compact for OA publishing equities
Accepting different COPE policies: They either mandate self-archiving or provide funds for OA gold publications written by
its facultyi.e. MIT, Harvard, Simon Fraser University,
Stellenbosch Uni, Trinity College...
MANDATING OPEN ACCESS
COPE SupportersOASPA: Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association - standards set for journal and
recently, book publishers
Giant OA Publishers: Biomed, Plos, Hindawi...
Organizations: Creative Commons, SPARC... Some Nobelists...
