1. IMPLEMENTING OPEN ACCESS &
REPOSITORY TOOLS
--Molly
Tamarkin

2. Our intention is to create an
enduring model for advanced
education and scientific research.

3. Essentially, digital storage
 Articles
 Theses & Dissertations
 Research Data
 Posters
 Proceedings
 Software code
 Computer systems
 Anything digital….
with a few other pieces
 Discovery layer
 Search
 Browse
 Preservation layer
 Backup
 Archive
 Integrity checking
 Optional: image services, map
services, identity services, security
services, etc.

4. Open access (OA) refers to online
research outputs that are free of all
restrictions on access (e.g., access tolls)
and free of many restrictions on use
(e.g. certain copyright and license
restrictions). Open access can be
applied to all forms of published
research output, including peer-
reviewed and non peer-reviewed
academic journal articles, conference
papers, theses, book chapters, and
monographs.

9. Two quotes from T.S. Eliot:
From “The Rock”:
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
From The Sacred Wood:
“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and
good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.”

10. Policy decisions
 Whose job is this?
 Mandate? Effective when?
 Opt in or opt out?
 Automatic embargo on request?
 Embargo extensions?
Procedure decisions
 Offset fees when negotiating
subscriptions?
 Copyright assistance?
 Template contracts?
 How to respond to requests outside
of scope?

11.  Minimize faculty work
 Hire short term data entry help
 It’s okay to figure it out as you go
 Ask for help from your network
 Attend some conferences

12. HOW DO WE FIND OUT
WHAT IS BEING
PUBLISHED?
Databases:
Crossref, Google Scholar, Scopus,
Web of Science, PubMed Central, SHARE, JISC Router
Publisher APIs:
Sciencedirect (Elsevier), IEEE, Springer/Biomed Central, Nature, PLOS
Search the above based on affiliation, author name, funding acknowledgment
NOTE THAT WE DO NOT DEPEND ON THE FACULTY!
