On My Mind
1. The Inevitability of Open Access
2. Transformation of Collections
The Inevitability of Open Access
Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. OA removes price barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) and permission barriers (most copyright and licensing restrictions).

The Inevitability of Open Access
• Open Access is a disruptive innovation (Clayton Christensen)– New technology– New business model– Starts out as an inferior product– Improves over time and its advantages make
it dominant– Adoption follows an S-curve not a straight
line

The Inevitability of Open Access
• Good for libraries because scholarly journals will not eat up our budget
Between 1975 and 2005 the average cost of journals in chemistry and physics rose from $76.84 to $1,879.56. In the same period, the cost of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline rose from 55 cents to $1.82. If the gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry and physics journals over this period it would have reached $12.43 in 2005, and would be over $14.50 today.
The Inevitability of Open Access
• Good for scholars because their work will be available to all who can use it, and their reputations will be enhanced
• Good for the public because scholarship won’t be locked up in libraries
The Inevitability of Open Access
• Bad for established publishers – I don’t care
• Libraries not part of the delivery system• Libraries should support OA on the
production side– Advance in Social Work– Indiana Libraries– Umbrella
The Inevitability of Open Access
• Policy on author fees – who pays?• Deposit mandate or not?

Openness (from Gideon Burton)
1. Open Access2. Open Review3. Open Dialogue4. Open Process5. Open Formats6. Open Data

Openness (from Gideon Burton)
“It comes down to this: the more academia wishes to enjoy the benefits of the digital medium, the less it can hold on to restrictive and closed practices in the production, vetting, dissemination, and archiving of information.”
Gideon Burton, “Scholarly Communications must be Open,” August 25, 2009 at: http://www.academicevolution.com/2009/08/scholarly-communications-must-transform-2.html
Transformation of Collections
1. Deconstruct legacy print collections2. Move from item-by-item book selection to
purchase-on-demand and subscriptions3. Manage the transition to open access
journal collections
Transformation of Collections
5. Focus on curating unique items6. Develop new mechanisms for funding
national infrastructure
