This talk was provided by Mitchell Davis of Bibliolabs during the 12th Annual BISG-NISO Changing Standards Landscape forum held at ALA in Washington DC on June 21, 2019.

1. If UX fails, everything fails.
All library materials need
to feel like Open Access to
end users, all the time.

2. Interoperability means
moving from publishing to
discovery to delivery -
seamlessly

3. Public Library eBooks
• National eBook Summit / Agenda
• Big 5 Licensing Terms
• Pay Per Use
• DPLA / SimplyE Response: DPLA Exchange
• Ownership / Interoperable eBooks
• Simultaneous Use
• Sustainable lending models matter
• Support of library owned infrastructure
• Rakuten-OverDrive Response

6. Higher Ed / Open Access
• Interoperability should connect OA Publishing to discovery
+ delivery
• …and analytics: interoperable usage data
• Analytics is the currency of OA
• Monographs: My experience with Open Research Library,
Public Library usage of OA materials
• ETD’s and Open Access: University of Florida Pilot
• Journals and OA: Will Plan S or something like it actually
happen? How do publishers manage in the meantime?
• Posters, audio, data sets, things we have not thought of

7. Spirit of Open Access
• What is motivating people?
• It is easy to underestimate complexity in terms of
open infrastructure / communities
• Risk of analysis paralysis in large collaborations
• Can the current players (large and small) various
agendas “interoperate”?
• How do we create a culture and institutional
agreements that achieve trust and motivation toward
a end user focused goal? (psst, it works for Amazon)
