Inoltro ancora dalla lista IFLA.
Ho trascorso la serata dell'IFLA reception con l'amica Ellen Tise,
penultima presidente IFLA; a lei si deve il grande impulso dell'IFLA a
favore dell'OA, ribadito anche alla closing cerimony, quando le è stato
conferito il titolo di "socio d'onore". Purtroppo anche l'IFLA ha un
atteggiamento contraddittorio: i testi degli standard e delle linee
guida non sono in open access (con qualche eccezione). Alla Commissione
Classificazione, di cui sono membro, abbiamo contestato l'uscita non in
OA delle recenti e importanti Linee guida per l'indicizzazione per
soggetto all'interno delle bibliografia nazionali, elaborate dalla
Commissione stessa. La posizione critica è stata inoltre ribadita alla
prima open session della Standard Commission, dove un delegato svedese
ha ribadito la contraddizione tra il lavoro gratuito svolto dai membri
delle commissioni IFLA e la pubblicazione a pagamento dei risultati del
loro lavoro, in aperta violazione della politica sull'OA stabilita
dall'IFLA stessa.
Saluti,

coping with OA:

What are new skills libraries need to have at hand in order to manage OA
and indeed play a major role in the development and implementation of an
OA-infrastructure:
Open Access content management and skills required - – Angela
Repanovici, prof., Transilvania University, Brasov, Romania
Moving towards an open access future: the role of academic libraries.
Selected findings from a Roundtable discussion organised by SAGE/Lars
Bjørnshauge
Panel with the speakers, questions and discussion: Theme how
can/should libraries collaborate in order to have a role in the emerging
future, where open access content will be the default.
Background:
Librarians, libraries and library associations have played a major role
in the progress of Open Access (OA) and will continue to do so. However,
now that OA is maturing and entering the mainstream, the challenges and
opportunities are becoming more serious.
Scholarly communication and publishing is increasingly characterized by
the dual mode: subscription based (SB) and open access (OA). With the
ever increasing momentum for OA and openness the reality is that for the
foreseeable future libraries will have to deal with both SB content and
OA. Yet there are no signs that the costs of acquiring and handling SB
content will be reduced, or that the funds for library operations will
increase.
Therefore, if libraries still want to play a role in the progress and
actual implementation of OA, and given that the overall funds for
library operations will not increase, how should libraries cope with the
challenges inherent in this most probable scenario? How can libraries
position themselves to take advantage of the various opportunities this
scenario offers as well?
The challenges apply to various dimensions in library operations. Our
session will look at the following issues:
Managing OA content in the widest sense: New skills, qualifications and
competencies are needed to manage OA publications, research data and
open educational resources. What are these skills and are they at hand
today? If not, how should the profession, the library organizations and
library managers ensure these skills will be available soon?
Managing Dual Content: If libraries want to deal more with OA content
but still have to deal with SB without additional financial and human
resources, what are their options? Will libraries have to “outsource”
operations to external entities/organizations? Or should libraries give
in on autonomy and let regional/national entities negotiate and decide
on licensing digital content? Are there other options to reduce costs of
handling SB content?
Developing Infrastructure: OA is still in an early stage, but with the
advent of sustainable business models and increasing mandates from
research funders, governments and supranational organizations such as
the EU, there is a growing need for an OA infrastructure and services
that allows OA content to seamlessly be integrated in library systems
and services. Libraries need to support, develop and implement such
infrastructure and services, but this requires financial and human
resources. How can libraries and library organizations contribute?
