| Gary Hall, Digitize Me, Visualize Me, Search Me: Open Science and its Discontents Posted: 20 Oct 2011 07:33 AM PDT livingbooksaboutlife.org Gary Hall's introduction to a collection of essays, edited by him. "In particular, Digitize Me, Visualize Me, Search Me suggests that the turn in the humanities toward datadriven scholarship, science visualization, statistical data analysis, etc. can be placed alongside all those discourses that are being put forward at the moment - in both the academy and society - in the name of greater openness, transparency, efficiency and accountability. Open Access The open access movement is a case in point....Yet after decades when humanities scholarship made active use of a variety of critical theories...it seems somewhat surprising that many advocates of this current turn to data-intensive scholarship in the humanities find it difficult to understand computing and the digital as much more than tools, techniques and resources. As a result, much of the scholarship that is currently occurring under the ‘digital humanities’ agenda is uncritical, naive and at times even banal...." |

| SciTechSociety: The Birth of the Open Access Movement Posted: 20 Oct 2011 05:34 AM PDT scitechsociety.blogspot.com "Twelve years ago, on October 21st 1999, Clifford Lynch and Don Waters called to order a meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The organizers, Paul Ginsparg, Rick Luce, and Herbert Van de Sompel, had a modest goal: generalize the High Energy Physics preprint archive into a Universal Preprint Service available to any scholarly discipline. (Currently known as arXiv and hosted by Cornell University, the HEP preprint archive was then hosted at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.) This meeting constructed the technical foundation for open access: the Open Archives Initiative and the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). It coined the term repository. (Yes, it was a compromise.) It inspired participants. Some went home and developed OAI-compliant repository software...." |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:32 PM PDT The Infornado, (18 Oct 2011) "So, after 6 months of hard work (2 of which I spent entirely dedicated to reading and researching), we’ve come to the apex. Tomorrow, we will present our proposed policy to the Faculty Senate, and next week I will be leading coordination of Open Access Week @ FSU....Our proposed ‘policy’ is very different than the policies passed by the likes of Duke, Kansas and Princeton, all of which have similar language about faculty granting the University a certain type of license for their scholarly articles. We are actually referring to our policy as a “Resolution” in that it is an expression of support for continuing to explore this area, more so than a dictation or mandate. Many will see this as a policy with no teeth, but we are approaching is as the best case for our university at this point, and a key first step toward developing this area here....The misunderstandings and misconceptions of open access are rampant and strongly held. This was never more evident than when talking with a friend, who happens to be a faculty member, about my work; he expressed his thoughts on this topic and was shocked when I offered some facts and ideas that countered his preconceived ideas of how open access works. There is much education to be done to combat misinformation...." |
| FSU Faculty Senate unanimously passes Open Access Resolution. Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:21 PM PDT Etc., (19 Oct 2011) "I [Micah Vandegrift] am happy to announce, as a product of the hard work of the Scholarly Communications Task Force at Florida State University, that we have passed an Open Access Resolution. As I mentioned in a recent post, this resolution is decidedly weak on the language when compared to similar policies passed at other institutions, but this is the first step in a process toward developing this area at Florida State, and it was necessarily toned down to account for the culture of our campus....[Excerpt from the resolution itself:] 'The Faculty Senate of Florida State University...endorses the storage and preservation of scholarly publications in Florida State University’s open access institutional repository....'" |
| Islandora 11.2.0 is here! | Islandora Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:13 PM PDT islandora.ca "We are pleased to announce the release of Islandora 11.2.0! ...These release notes introduces changes and new features in this version, including our new bulk ingest and collections management utilities and our streamlined solution packs. The documentation is undergoing updates to match this version of Islandora...." |
| Florida State University adopts open access resolution Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:24 PM PDT Gavin Baker, (20 Oct 2011) "Based on the plain text of the resolution, there’s no mandatory deposit, the key element of successful open access policies. As a result, we can expect compliance to be weak." |

| 12th Anniversary of the Birth of the Open Archives Initiative (sic) Posted: 19 Oct 2011 05:29 PM PDT Open Access Archivangelism, (20 Oct 2011) I hate to have to throw a blanket on this 12th birthday parade, but the birth of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) (a protocol for making online bibliographic databases -- initially called "archives," later re-baptised "repositories -- interoperable) in 1999 certainly was not the birth of the Open Access Movement. |
| The Five Stars of Online Journal Articles Posted: 19 Oct 2011 12:03 PM PDT Open Citations and Semantic Publishing, (17 Oct 2011) "Many people will be familiar with Tim Berners-Lee’s five stars of linked data, categorising the publication of data on the web in levels of increasing usefulness. To complement these, I wish to propose the Five Stars of Online Journal Articles, in particular to characterize the potential for improvement to the primary medium of scholarly communication made possible by web technologies, including the semantic publishing approaches....[The five stars are] Peer review...Open Access...Enriched content Use the full potential of web technologies and web standards to provide interactivity and semantic enrichment to the content of your online article...Available datasets...Machine-readable metadata...." |
| Pearson Answers Pointed Questions About Its New Course System, OpenClass Posted: 19 Oct 2011 11:48 AM PDT chronicle.com "When Pearson, the giant education publisher, announced last week that it was launching a free, cloud-based learning management system called OpenClass, the news prompted tough questions from college technology officials. Would this system accommodate other popular software? Who would have control, Pearson or the colleges? Would it be hard to integrate the product, which will be released later this year, with a student information system?..." |
| In Victory for Open-Education Movement, Blackboard Embraces Sharing Posted: 19 Oct 2011 11:43 AM PDT chronicle.com "Professors who use Blackboard’s software have long been forced to lock their course materials in an area effectively marked, “For Registered Students Only,” while using the system. Today the company announced plans to add a “Share” button that will let professors make those learning materials free and open online....One key to Blackboard’s new “Share” feature is a partnership with Creative Commons, which offers licenses for free content. When professors choose to make their courses free, they will be presented with options to easily attach a Creative Commons license, something they otherwise would have to do manually...." |
| Drivers and barriers in data sharing | LIBER Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:45 AM PDT www.libereurope.eu "A booklet called "Ten Tales of Drivers & Barriers in Data Sharing" has been published by the ODE [Opportunities for Data Exchange] project. The ODE project has published a collection of success stories and lessons learned in the area of data sharing, re-use and preservation. Ten stories have been selected from a series of interviewed carried out to establish a baseline for the drivers and barriers in data exchange. From institutions such as the UK Data Archive, CERN and Galaxy Zoo, these stories reveal the opportunities presented by data exchange as well as surrounding issues such as funding, infrastructures, discoverability, culture, and collaboration...." |
