Shuttleworth, K., Stranack, K., & Moore, A. (2019). Course Journals: Leveraging Library Publishing to Engage Students at the Intersection of Open Pedagogy, Scholarly Communications, and Information Literacy. Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, 14(2). https://doi.org/10.21083/partnership.v14i2.5339
Semester long project, class builds journal
Produce final project, publish it as journal
Opp for librarian to come in to talk about scholarly communication topics
Librarian helps put online on OJS
Other projects students more behind the scenes, finding content creators, outside community or group
Touch on all ACRL framework frames
Pitfalls: time intensive for faculty and library, might not be sustainable, issues with privacy
Future research: see how fit into disciplinary framework
Possibly something to consider at Temple
Annie:
update on TOME project
Nonprofit foil to Knowledge Unlatched
Academic institutions give $15,000 to faculty to make book OA. Faculty can publish with any participating university press.
Challenge a lot of universities are not willing to provide $30,000-$45,000 a year (to support 2-3 faculty members books)
Original goal is to get institution not library to be funder
Joe would never have brought to provost, money would be going to other presses potentially
New website to promote
Published a number of books
Big overall challenge: where will the money come from?, long term sustainability
Originally thought would get schools where there isn’t a press
17 universities participating
Alicia:
"A Creative and Poetic Approach to Creative Commons Copyright License Education." Sharing links to the slides and additional instructional materials.
University of Denver IR manager and instructional designer presented about interactive library instructional workshop
Educates on creative commons licensing
Very hands on, engaging alternative -University of Denver, create an openly licensed poem, use poems that can be reused
Goals: bring content into IR, it can be a collaborative effort with DH students,
Another example of hands on activity: Use playdough to teach different Creative Commons licenses
Natalie:
The institutional repository landscape in medical schools and academic health centers: a 2018 snapshot view and analysis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6774547/.
Of 153 member libraries 63 responded to the survey (41% response rate)
70% had IR or were implementing one
60% institution-wide IR, 40% their own health sciences one
Earliest launched 2002 and newest 2017
Unique resource types: Grey lit that hasn’t been published anywhere else is pretty popular
Grand rounds presentations
Patient education materials
Lab notebooks
71% reported depository staff deposit materials on behalf of users
Health Sciences have low rates of self-deposit
IRs in academic medical libraries appeared to have much in common with IRs in other academic environments (not surprising, but good to know)
Rebecca:
https://www.coalition-s.org/why-plan-s/
Plan S
Gist of it: coalition of European bodies (few U.S. and international funding agencies) open access mandate
As of 2021 all of the funded research must be made open access with no embargo
Pushing boundaries of OA
Most European researchers get money from these funders, covers all disciplines
supporters , but critiques, AHA wrote scathing article against it, Royal Historical Society did a survey of history journals editors, were not aware of Plan S
May have stepped back from CC-BY license
One size fits all doesn’t work for all disciplines at least right now
Plan S is good because it’s forcing humanities faculty, editors to think about this. Even if they aren’t going to change.
Will keep pushing back deadline
Critique: Int’l implications
Top journals in the United States don’t have reason to adjust for UK historians

Resources:
College of the Canyons Style Guide and Environmental Scan Exercise: A Diagnostic Tool (p. 24)
Draft Recommendation On Open Educational Resources UNESCO Digital Library and the Kerfuffle
Practical and helpful
Style guide from the College of the Canyons (community college) to promote open textbooks
All the graphics are there to make your own textbook
Ecampus Ontario
Environmental scan diagnostic tool
UNESCO open educational recommendations
Bit of a kerfuffle, because open license language was removed from final recommendations
Crowd sourced money to download SciHub and create a copy and save it on seedbox
The Archivist -who is this? Maybe someone from Internet Archive?
Publishers want to crack down on torrenting of articles
How would they do this?
