| Europe needs to open up to the digital value of its cultural legacy | Public Sector | silicon.com Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:56 PM PDT www.silicon.com "Institutions such as libraries, museums and archives create large amounts of authoritative, descriptive data about their digitised books and works of art. This data can be used by developers to create innovative resources in, for example, tourism and education. Reusing data in new apps has the potential to generate new businesses and jobs, providing greater value from material held in public collections and giving consumers engaging new ways to access and interact with it. However, as the principal aggregator of data about Europe's digitised cultural assets, Europeana can currently only make its data set available for non-commercial purposes....Instead of measuring their success by the amount of commercial revenue institutions are able to secure from the market, new metrics should be developed that measure the amount of business being developed based on data made openly available to the creative industries. This measure will take the onus off cultural heritage organisations to increase their revenue streams in the short term, and instead recognise the long-term and wider benefits that can accrue when cultural public sector Information is made accessible to the developers and entrepreneurs who are driving digital innovation...." |

| Open Access Policy Template Now Available Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:02 PM PDT Scholarly Communication Program, (11 Oct 2011) "If your department or school is considering adopting an open access policy, visit the Open Access Policy Template page. You can now download the policy language that both the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Columbia Libraries/Information Services use for their open access policies. This language can be applied to any unit of Columbia University and can be adopted for use at other institutions....And if your Columbia department or school approves an open access policy, be sure to let us know! The Libraries/Information Services will support implementation of your policy and help make complying with the policy easy for faculty and staff. We will also introduce you to Columbia's digital repository, Academic Commons, and the services it provides to scholars and researchers at Columbia...." |

| Hackers are vital to openness and innovation in HE Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:54 PM PDT Higher Education Network | guardian.co.uk, (18 Oct 2011) "This hacker ethic can be seen among academics today who fight for open-access rights to peer-reviewed articles, and those teachers who form the growing open educational resources movement, dedicated to providing teaching and learning materials for free, worldwide public use. Not surprisingly, both the open-access and open-education movements owe much to Stallman and other pioneering hackers who developed the GPL and similar open-source licences. Unquestionably, the history of open access and open education is deeply indebted to the culture of hacking, yet we should not forget that, vice versa, the history of hacking is deeply rooted in the culture of the university...." |

| Exploring How Library Publishing Services Facilitate Scholarly Communication Posted: 18 Oct 2011 09:36 AM PDT muse.jhu.edu Abstract: Scholarly publishing plays a critical role in promotion, tenure, scholarly recognition, and certification of research quality at academic institutions. Given the importance of scholarly publishing, several libraries have launched library publishing services to support formal and informal scholarly communication. Despite the growing popularity and the benefits of library publishing services, few studies have explored the relationship between library publishing services and scholarly communication. This study aims to identify and examine the factors of library publishing services that facilitate scholarly communication. Based on Roosendaal and Geurts's (1997) four functions of scholarly communication, this study analyses and categorizes the library publishing services of eight research university libraries in North America. The registration function is reflected in publishing, intellectual property, and licensing services. The archiving function is reflected in digitization and repository services. The certification function is reflected in expert review and research support services. The awareness function is reflected in knowledge-sharing-platform and search aid services. |
| The Fair Use Battle for Scholarly Works Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:22 AM PDT Copy(write): Intellectual Property in the Writing Classroom, 3-27 (14 Aug 2011) From the opening section: the complexities of fair use have grown significantly. Since 2000, fair use has been subjected to important legislative changes, tested in several high-profile cases, and supported by the formation of new organizations championing fair use causes; new statements of best practices have also emerged. Fair use has been directly attacked and narrowed in some contexts, while it has expanded in other contexts as a result of, for instance, peer-to-peer technologies, online reserve policies at universities, corporate copyright control, and, conversely, the emergence of new open-source and open-access practices and policies. Although the struggle has been waged from many sides, corporate interests have achieved a decided advantage. Whether fair use will be eliminated is difficult to assess, given the emergence of a strong open-source movement, legal professionals who champion fair use causes, and legislative and legal momentum, but there is little doubt we are moving in that direction and the impact on educators and scholars will intensify and likely fundamentally change how we conduct our work in higher education. |
