Discussion topics
Open Access book club on December 7th.
Not heard anything from Nancy, but it still seems to be on.
Natalie will ask Nancy to send out a reminder to check on what her plan is for the introduction.
Plan to devise questions that don’t necessarily require reading of the chapters.
Kristina will start a brief slide deck with questions for the chapters schol comm team will be covering.
Based on Monday’s attendance and engagement, we’ll decide whether or not to hold a second discussion in January.
Advancing Transition to Open Access Report
Annie and Karen have an outline for a report. Part 1 - Looking at Transformative Agreements; Part 2 - Review of Temple’s Open Access Publishing Fund. Part 3 - Evaluating support for collaborative funding for OA projects.
Plan is that we’ll divide up responsibilities to work on each section. And then will solicit feedback from Brian S. and Mary Rose and others.
Discussion of the complexities and conflicting opinions about transformative agreements. Trying to think about the longer term implications of these agreements and what they would mean for Temple specifically.
Possibility that conference presentations or other professional development opportunities could emerge from this report
In terms of analyzing activities of other libraries for each section, recommendation is to refer to a list of similar institutions. Erin shared a list of “peer” institutions with the group. Could also reach out to colleagues at peer institutions to learn about their thinking regarding transformative agreements and other OA funding.
Possibly should look at medical/health sciences libraries as well to see what their support for OA and transformative agreements has been.
Members in attendance selected which section they wanted to work on. We’ll contact Lauri Fennell (Unlicensed) and Carly Hustedt (Unlicensed) to see which sections they want to work on.
Plan is for the three small “section” groups to begin meeting and working in January.
Annie and Karen have created a Zotero library with some readings.
Annie will create a shared folder of documents for this project.
