Meeting notes

Urooj Nizami's Capstone Project

  • Capstone is usually a 1 year project, now 2 years. Opportunity to put together a project and put it together from beginning to end
  • Goal: create a set of recommendations for the Textbook Affordability Project and follow through with them
  • Based on interviews Urooj and Adam did with folks who have done the Textbook Affordability Project in the past
  • Education: Urooj wants to create a 2 day workshop on openness for liaison librarians (similar to ARL Liaison Institute). Goal is to think about how librarians are already doing things with open
  • Draft an openness mandate for library staff, how to make openness a part of the work they do
  • Goal: Send a faculty member to an open conference (who have participated in the TAP in the past)
  • Collaboration: Establishing requirements for participation for faculty in the TAP, perhaps have to deposit readings in Canvas
  • New eligibility requirements: Faculty members must reach out to liaison librarians
  • Recreate TAP LibGuide
  • Work with Olivia and other heads about creating space in LibGuides to highlight open access journals
  • Move TAP to force people to think about how publishing and their publishing is part of the problem
  • Tiered approach to grants (certain projects get more money than others)
  • Moving from textbook to open, faculty found collections from SCRC. Can we bring in SCRC

Thoughts from SCSST:

  • Annie noted that SCSST is planning workshops/education for staff for 2018-2019, could potentially be about open access and OER, will continue to coordinate with Urooj
  • Kristina noted that SCSST survey showed that librarians generally feel comfortable with open access and OER (but self reported)
  • What are priorities for project?
    • Redo platform where people get information about TAP
    • Redo eligibility requirements
    • Send a faculty member to a conference
  • Rebecca noted that it would be great to incorporate librarians more into TAP process (even before folks apply)
  • Other things to note: Kristina will be Temple's Campus Partner for Affordable Learning PA, Annie is taking part in SPARC's Open Education Leadership Program in the fall
  • Emily noted that Urooj should periodically come back to our meetings and give us project updates
  • SCSST will continue to think of ways to support Urooj and her project

General Updates:

  • U Penn Scholarly Communication folks (Margaret, Kenny, Sarah, and Laurie) want to plan a scholarly communication conference for Philly-area folks. They have invited us but we are still waiting to hear about date and other details.
  • IR
    • DSpace install has hit another bump in the road, but David thinks a development version should be up and running soon
    • Implementation team will be Gabe, Annie, Chin, and Holly. Current IR group will be dissolved but there will be more involvement in the future for folks.
    • SCSST and RDSSST will still focus on coming up with policies and procedures for the IR.

Libraries Investment in Open Project:

  • Kristina and Rebecca met with Brian, notes are in Google drive folder
  • Rachel and Emily will set up a meeting to talk about assess investments in open source
  • Annie will move her notes on membership to Google drive folder
  • Stephanie reported that for now, we should focus on Paley, and not on HSL

OpenCon

  • We will be able to choose a faculty member/grad student to send to OpenCon this year in Canada. Need to figure out how to identify the person...
  • Follow up: Annie spoke with Nick Shockey and we must identify a person by early September
