Open to contributions and participation  Open and free to access  Open to use & reuse w/few or no restrictions  Transparency Open to contributions and participation As opposed to… Open and free to access As opposed to… Open to use and reuse with few or no restrictions As opposed to… Transparency As opposed to… Commonalities • Generally enabled by technology  • Works both inside and outside of traditional models  • Supported by a variety of business models – Open ≠ Free  Open movements • Open access –Public access • Open source • Open content • Open education – Open Textbook • Open data • Open science Open Access By 'open access„ to literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.  -Budapest Open Access Initiative- 2002 Some common misconceptions • Open access means no copyright  • Open access is free  • Open access always means the author pays  • Open access will destroy peer review  • Open access will destroy publishers  2 Paths to Open Access manuscript ….

Harvard‟s OA Policy  We refuse to accept a future of digital feudalism where we do not actually own the products we buy, but we are merely granted limited uses of them as long as we pay the rent. We will make, share, adapt, and promote open content. We will listen to free music, look at free art, watch free film, and read free books. All the while, we will contribute, discuss, annotate, critique, improve, improvise, remix, mutate, and add yet more ingredients into the free culture soup. We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not merely consumption. We will not be content to sit passively at the end of a one-way media tube. mission …is to build a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, rather than a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. Through the democratizing power of digital technology and the Internet, we can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person @UBC Library http://scholcomm.ubc.ca/ Step One Select publishers that comply with the CIHR mandate  – Check the Sherpa Romeo site to see which publishers comply with the CIHR Mandate: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php  – Consider publishing in a peer reviewed open access publication. UBC Library subsidizes many of these. See: http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/schol_comm/libraries/ubclibrary.html  – Read publisher‟s publication agreement or enquire how the publisher complies with mandate  Open Journal Systems  http://digitalcollections.library.ubc.ca/  UBC Library Innovative Dissemination of Research Award Established by the Library in 2010, this Award focuses on new and innovative ways of communicating and disseminating knowledge.  The Award honors UBC faculty, staff and students who are expanding the boundaries of research through the creative use of new tools and technologies that enhance the research findings being disseminated.
