Agenda

  • Spring updates from Annie, no other agenda items

Discussion

Annie has been working with collections strategic steering team (KK email in mid-December) Karen is taking the lead, goal is to help university move towards open-each session will include an article inorder to provide some background.

  1. January 13th at 11am. Discuss UC documents about different pathways to OA

  2. March- transformative agreements-Karen and Brian are approached often about publisher agreements-they must decide what works best

  3. May about funding OA manuscripts-build off of ongoing discussions

  4. July funding infrastructure (survey shared to all staff)

a.  Dave and Cynthia will share on what we are spending

Once we have these 4 open discussions we will gather notes-teams work together to draft a report or compilation of information with recommendation statement for library on where funding should be directed-with reasoning included for why we do what.

Hope is to get more staff people involved to bring in different thoughts and perspectives.

 Update on North Broad Press

  1. Published 1st textbook last fall

  2. New call for proposals in Spring

Can see progress on the Confluence page-most have authors still writing, others are in various states of progress (Financial Literacy Textbook)

a.       Current work is mostly to nudge authors to turn in manuscript or respond to peer review comments.

b. Lauri asked a question about proposals that have a current Open textbook in the field and whether that makes a difference for approval. Annie said it should not deter current proposals and acceptance. It can be beneficial to have more OA Textbooks on a topic (just as in print versions).

c. It was also mentioned that awardees of TAP might give people a pathway toward thinking that publishing is possible.

  • Generally, there is an interest in finding ways of more involvement from liaison librarians and people on ScholComm team. A more systematic workflow may develop. It is useful to have liaisons review proposals and provide insights.

  •  Open Ed group is working on the coming year’s proposals. TAP will go out before North Broad Press announcement.

  • OWLcrowd got some money-over $2000 that will be added to the TAP funding which is at $10,000.

 

Annie’s leave:

  1. Rebecca will send an email to Nancy at the end of the month to summarize what the ScholComm team is doing.

  2. Meetings are set for leaders and note takers.

  3. Annie mentioned briefly that her new position will not start until she is back from leave. The new position will not change her involvement with the ScholComm team. Her old position will be reviewed for replacement but may take some time.

 

We then discussed next year’s holiday calendar. Meeting ended early.
