Discovery Problem

Unauthorized sharing Impacts of unauthorized sharing 1. Steers traffic away from and existing subscriptions 2. Leads to false impression of user wants and needs 3. Increases difficulty of justifying library funding if services and materials are not being used 4. Increases subscription costs 5. Results in suspension of access

Discovery and delivery

1. Integrate OA into existing library systems. 2. Integrate library resource discovery/delivery into the web spaces where our users live. ● We build a family of community-owned tools that catalyse an open future. We help increase their campus’ access to research, without needing a bigger budget. ● Non-profit, Open Source, community-owned, Supported by SPARC (a coalition of academic ). ● Both the name of a specific app, and an organization. ● Some background on our work on ILL: https://blog.openaccessbutton.org/putting-the-oa-into-inte rlibrary-loan-9d5fa5eb25d4 ● If you like what you hear, we’re currently looking for libraries who’re willing to financially contribute to support the work in return for more features, support and recognition. 1. Integrate OA into existing library systems. ● Save Money: During a two year period IUPUI filled 1,557 requests with Open Access materials, saving a potential cost of $27,247.50. ● Faster Delivery: Open Access content can be delivered instantly to users. This can either totally fulfil the request, or merely help the user be sure they need the content. ● More Delivery: Use Open Access versions of difficult to borrow items to fill more requests. ● Promote Open Access: We all want it, so let’s put Open Access content in front of users as part of ILL & use ILL to make more content Open Access.

We can tell you exactly how much you could save with OAsheets. Simply upload a spreadsheet of previous ILL transactions and we’ll send back which could be found Open Access. NEW: Finding OA when processing Interlibrary Loans (ILL) ● Helps ILL staff check for Open Access without changing their workflows ● Provides resources & advice for staff on what to send. ● Works on Alma, Clio, ILLiad & email with more on the way ● Similar to our website & plugin, but honed for ILL staff
