2018-2020 Impact Report IMPACT REPORT I Message from the University Librarian Since we celebrated the 75th anniversary of UC Santa Barbara last year I have been reflecting on how the UCSB Library has always been a community hub, supporting our faculty and students to be successful in everything they do and engaging the Santa Barbara community in the intellectual and cultural life of UC Santa Barbara. The last few decades have shown how the internet and the web have transformed libraries. Having been a librarian throughout this transition, I can assure you that libraries are—and I believe will remain—adaptive and durable institutions in the digital age. Libraries have embraced new technologies, leveraging them to make many of our unique collections available to the world and to bring the world of scholarship to the desktops of our researchers and students. But the digital library revolution is also complex and brings with it unintended consequences. Since journals began to move online in the 1990s, scholarly journal publishing has grown to become a $10 billion industry, largely funded by research Kristin Antelman libraries, and one in which most content sits behind increasingly expensive paywalls. Over the last year, the University of California has found itself on the world stage showing unprecedented leadership in standing up to publishing giant, Elsevier, by terminating our contract with them until we can negotiate both a more sustainable price and open access publishing for all UC-authored articles. As a public institution whose research is funded largely by public money, it is core to the UC mission to make that research openly available to be used by the residents of California, and beyond. On the Cover Jane Gottlieb is a Southern California artist, known for her use of vibrant color and her remarkable imagination. Forty large pieces of her work are installed across UCSB, and this recent piece will be on display in the Library. "For me," Gottlieb says, "art is an expression of one’s imagination and creativity. Being able to share this UCSB Library artwork is a great joy." As you’ll read in this report, the UCSB Library is broadly committed to advancing open scholarship. We are partnering with the open access publisher, Punctum Books, as part of an international coalition of scholar-led publishers working together to develop tools and business models to support open access book publishing. At the same time, we are constantly working to improve the physical library, which is used more than ever. It is the only building on campus open 24 hours and serves as an inclusive “third place” for students. This year we added more seating, electrical outlets, whiteboards, and even nap pods to better support student success. Our undergraduates are developing as budding researchers not just in the labs across campus but also in the Library. Last year, we inaugurated a new Library Award for Undergraduate Research to showcase some of the outstanding scholarship produced by these talented undergraduates. Crossing departmental boundaries and bringing knowledge to bear to solve problems and learn about the world are what libraries are all about and why we are so perfectly aligned with the mission and purpose of UCSB. Thank you all for being ambassadors for the Library and supporting our efforts. I invite you to join us in helping the Library continue to be such a strong pillar of faculty and student success. $4,155,433 KRISTIN ANTELMAN $5,764,158 $4,949,528 $10,309,044 (including student assistants, excluding fringe benefits) 1 FREEING KNOWLEDGE 2 Open Access: Negotiations with Elsevier In 2019, the University of California (UC) took a firm stand on open access to publicly funded research by deciding not to renew its journal subscriptions with Elsevier, the world’s largest scientific publisher. This move was part of UC’s larger goal to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery by ensuring that research produced by UC’s ten public universities will be available, free of charge and immediately upon publication, to readers and researchers around the world. “The research published in these journals is publicly funded and is conducted by researchers at a public institution, and yet currently no California resident outside the university can read it without paying,” said Kristin Antelman, University Librarian at UC Santa Barbara. In the current publishing environment, when authors sign publication agreements, they typically are required to transfer their copyright and future rights to the publisher. The content then goes behind a paywall. This creates a system where universities have to pay to read articles written by their own faculty. Scholarly journal publishing is now a $10 billion industry, largely funded by research libraries. “We’re at the point where the time for action has come, the time to speak with our dollars and our powerful faculty voices and the weight of the UC,” said Antelman. “Enabling our research to be available to others around the world is deeply embedded in our mission as a public institution.” What is Open Access? Open access (OA) refers to freely available, online information. Open access scholarly literature is free of charge to the reader and carries less restrictive copyright and licensing barriers than traditionally published works, for both readers and authors. Visit www.library.ucsb.edu/scholarly-communication/open-access 3 Partnership with Punctum Books The UCSB Library is expanding its leadership role as an advocate for transformative open access publishing through its two-year pilot project testing a no-fees open access book publishing model with partner Punctum Books. Dissatisfied with the current system of scholarly publishing based on expensive author-facing charges and skyrocketing subscription fees, many research institutions, like UCSB, are looking for ways to transform the business by moving the model to one in which publishers are paid a fair price for their open access publishing services. “UCSB Library recognizes that there is something fundamentally wrong with how scholarship is published,” said Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei, co-director at Punctum Books. “They are now a pioneer in the field of finding a way of publishing open access monographs by investing in a possible model for the future.” The hope is that the partnership will provide a viable alternative to the traditional scholarly publishing model. So far, about 50 authors Punctum Books from the UC system have published through Punctum Books is Punctum Books. a scholar-led, peer- reviewed, open access The partnership leverages Punctum’s strengths book publisher registered as a in publishing scholarship and the UCSB Library’s nonprofit public benefit corporation in knowledge of best practices for the curation, California.

Visit www.library.ucsb.edu/punctum-books-ucsb-library-partnership 4 TRANSFORMING PUBLISHING 5 DEVELOPING THE DIGITAL LIBRARY 6 Project Surfliner Partnership UCSB Library is working together with UC San Diego Library to build a suite of open-source digital library applications that will eventually replace each campus’s current digital library platform and provide public access and greater visibility to UC collections and scholarly research. Dubbed “Project Surfliner” after the Amtrak route that links the campuses together, the collaboration kicked off in November 2018 with the goal of leveraging each campus’s strengths and resources to develop products meeting common needs in a sustainable way. The team is creating a shared codebase using Samvera software, which is used by an international community of professionals working for libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. The Surfliner tools are designed to be ready-for-use across UC Santa Barbara Library UC campuses, while giving each institution control over its content and how it is organized and displayed. The software is free and open source so it can be easily adopted by outside collaborators and extended to support a wide range of content types. For UCSB Library, this content includes digitized rare and unique materials from the Library’s collections, including photographs, posters, manuscript material, maps, newspapers, and audio recordings as well as other digital assets such as electronic theses and dissertations and datasets. The first result of Project Surfliner has been the launch of UCSB Library’s digital exhibitions platform, Spotlight. This allows UC San Diego Library UCSB Library to make its physical exhibitions more broadly available by putting them online and enabling online visitors to see digital images and documents paired with curatorial information and additional resources. The team is now working on a platform that facilitates direct access to geospatial data, enabling students and researchers to preview and download data for analysis and display on digital maps. Visit spotlight.library.ucsb.edu 7 The Santa Barbara History Collection The Santa Barbara History Collection has been a major part of the UCSB Library’s Department of Special Research Collections since the 1970s and documents the social, political, cultural, architectural, and environmental history of Santa Barbara. The collection began with a donation of the personal and organizational records of Santa Barbara's unofficial ombudswoman in matters of natural beauty and public welfare, Pearl Chase (1888–1979). The records, now called the Community Development and Conservation Collection, include the 1969 oil spill, local authors, events such as "Fiesta," and topics like Isla Vista, Chumash culture and history, water resource management, housing, land use and planning, and women's issues. The collection is designed to record the diverse and vibrant history of events, people, and organizations that have shaped our community over the decades.

    !1 of !77 Ruined Books Blog A Book of Bibliolages—initial post, Feb. 27, 2013 A Book of Bibliolage makes a good place to begin this blog. The website goes back a few weeks now. The practice of bibliolaging goes back seven to ten years, depending on your definition. The word bibliolage goes back about three years, my invention, I think. And the blog starts now. A bibliolage is always an “altered book”—that’s the family—but, strange child in the corner, it abides by its own rules, sucks its very own thumb. (When I came up with the motto “Puerility Taken to a Whole New Level!” it made me smile, but it’s not terribly self-respectful.) A bibliolage is also always a collage, but it so severely does not hang on a wall, I had to build a website to hang it anywhere. A bibliolage sits on a shelf, here a creaky one, because the art takes a heavy book and makes it heavier. It takes a page and squares it, so the binding typically bulges. A library shelf keeps books aloft, vertical, slim, and Ssshhh-ed! My shelves sag, and the engorged volumes seem angry with being books. They protest at gravity, clamoring mirth. They revel in ruin and rue preservation. They do not resign to a system, least of all Dewey decimal. They do not speak for authority but squeal for special attention from the court. On the site you can find a list of titles, some eighty-six in the columns as of now, but the ranks are uneven, as some have struck off in wayward directions, but so far no new tendency has turned me from the !2 of !77 extraillustrative ‘lage.

    MARY HEEBNER & simplemente maria press fine art books 1995-2018 mary heebner cassandra a poem by stephen kessler mmxix Cassandra is a major work, one that unites a complex understanding of the way perspective and diverse materials fracture time and space, while the hand and memory of the artist unite them. Heebner’s visual dialogue with Kessler’s poem powerfully brings to life the legendary voice of Cassandra. To paraphrase the poet, a lovely myth rises in art to beggar disbelief.

  • U.C.S.B. M.F.A. 20/20 May 1 - June 1, 2020
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sullivan Goss March 13, 2020 A N A M E R I C A N G A L L E R Y 11 EAST ANAPAMU STREET SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101 (805) 730-1460 U.C.S.B. M.F.A. 20/20 MAY 1 - JUNE 1, 2020 THIS EXHIBITION WILL BE OPEN BY ONE HOUR APPOINTMENTS DAILY FROM MAY 1 - JUNE 1. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE WHOLE THING ONLINE. SANTA BARBARA - We are sometimes asked, “What’s going on in the art ​ world these days?” The sheer multiplicity of answers makes responding succinctly almost impossible. Twenty years from now – or even better, forty – we’ll probably be able to organize some of what’s going on into trends or schools. Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. At the present moment however, we ​ ​ can take our cues from that rare breed - the M.F.A.s; and we can count ​ ​ ourselves as fortunate that U.C.S.B. has such a vital program for giving these ​ passionate makers a map of contemporary art’s most important discourses, honest feedback about their work, and campus exhibitions to sharpen their practice. These artists can give us important answers to the question, “what’s going on?” At the University of California, Santa Barbara, M.F.A.s are also offered campus studio space, which is indeed a privilege. Plus, these artists are expected to teach more often than not, which challenges them to articulate their ideas while also exposing them to the questions and insights of their even younger students.
