  • Impact on Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums
    The Impact of Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Museums, & Archives Effie Kapsalis Smithsonian Emerging Leaders Development Program April 27, 2016 Executive Summary For the purpose of this document, “open access” is defined as making public domain materials open for use without any restrictions, and making copyrighted materials available under the provisions of fair use (non-commercial, educational). More than 50 institutions have, to varying degrees, pursued open access over the last decade, removing technical and copyright barriers to their digitized collections and resources. A strengthened institutional brand, increased use and dissemination of collections, and increased funding opportunities have been some of the benefits associated with open-access initiatives. A recent Andrew W. Mellon Foundation study, “Images of Works of Art in Museum Collections: The Experience of Open Access, a Study of 11 Museums,” found that among the museums studied, none that enforced copyright restrictions made any significant surplus or profit against their expenditures. It concluded, “real and perceived gains far outweigh the real and perceived losses for every museum in the study that has made a transition to an open access approach.”1 Recently, several funders, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, have made open access either a requirement for gift recipients or a factor in assessing potential gifts. Furthermore, President Barack Obama’s Open Government Initiative, launched in 2009, has built an increasing expectation from the public that all government entities will move towards practices that are more open, which places federal entities at risk for public perception of not pursuing best practices.

New trend the first International Open Access Week, 2009 at The National Library of Sweden called Open Access, ‘promote maximum accessibility and visibility of works produced by researchers, teachers and students’. Open Access Forum 2011: UNESCO UNESCO Open Access strategy approved by the UNESCO Executive Board 187th & 36th session of the General Conference. The invited experts from all over the world discussed how to create a network collaborative platform to promote Open Access to scientific information and research India: An” announcement made by CSIR, urging the establishment of institutional repositories in each of its more than laboratories & conversion of all their journals to open access.” (Chan, et al, 2009). The above demonstrates a current worldwide interest in and willingness to embrace open access. Problems Rising costs of subscriptions Permission barriers imposed by publishers Barred access to the extent to research and care Lack of information Lack awareness Lack of interest and willingness to do The now-annual event has been expanded from a single day to accommodate widespread global interest in the movement toward open, public access to scholarly research results.” (OpenAccessWeek.org, 2009).

  • Medical Library Leadership in Scholarly Communication* Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP See End of Article for Author’S Affiliation
    1 AWARDS AND LECTURES: JANET DOE LECTURE DOI: dx.doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2021.1127 The move to open: medical library leadership in scholarly communication* Chris Shaffer, MS, AHIP See end of article for author’s affiliation. Over the years, health sciences librarians have been change agents, leading the charge on issues of importance to the profession and the communities we serve. From its founding in 1898 with the Exchange, the Medical Library Association (MLA) has been dedicated to improving access to health information. In 2003, the Board of Directors published a statement supporting open access to information generated from federally funded scientific and medical research and maintained that having access to timely, relevant, and accurate information is vital to the health of the nation and its education and research programs. At some financial risk, the association made the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) open access and published the entire archive of JMLA and its predecessor, the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, in PubMed Central. Nearly two decades later, the promise of open access and open science finally seems to be coming to fruition. In the 2020 Janet Doe Lecture, Chris Shaffer, AHIP, described the ways that MLA has led the profession, standing behind a shared vision and “walking the walk.” In challenging listeners to embrace open science, he affirmed that, as leaders in improving access to health sciences information since 1898, medical librarians must work in the open science arena to realize our vision “that quality information is essential for improved health.” INTRODUCTION Each of you has influenced my work as a Thank you for the gracious introduction, Gerald librarian from the very beginning of my career.
