Enabling Open Scholarship - EOS - Home Archives ouvertes : bien, mais peut mieux faire... En 2012, 50 % des archives ouvertes de la recherche étaient en service contre 29 % quatre ans plus tôt. Quant aux projets en réflexion, ils s'élèvent à 25 % contre 53 % en 2008. "On mesure le chemin parcouru en quatre ans, mais aussi tout ce qu'il reste à accomplir" souligne le Consortium Universitaire de Publication Numérique (Couperin) qui vient de publier, avec l'ADBU, les résultats d'une enquête menée auprès des bibliothèques et des centres de documentation. Cette étude, réalisée au premier trimestre 2012 auprès de 178 institutions répondantes, montre que le mouvement des archives ouvertes représente un outil de communication pour les établissements de recherche mais aussi pour les chercheurs. 64 % des répondants estiment que leurs dépôts d'archives ouvertes est motivé par la diffusion et la visibilité des contributions. La typologie des documents déposés fait apparaître une majorité de thèses (72 % des réponses) ainsi que des articles et des conférences en pré ou post-publication.
Protocole OAI-PMH OAI-PMH est le sigle de l'Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, ce qui signifie « protocole pour la collecte de métadonnées de l'Initiative pour les Archives ouvertes ». Le protocole OAI-PMH est un moyen d'échanger sur Internet des métadonnées entre plusieurs institutions, afin de multiplier les accès aux documents numériques. Il permet : d'accroître la visibilité des collections numériques sur Internet,de reconstituer virtuellement des corpus à partir de ressources accessibles sur différents sites, d'alimenter des portails thématiques. Son utilisation est libre, tout comme ses spécifications, disponibles sur le site www.openarchives.org. L'OAI-PMH définit deux types d'acteurs : les fournisseurs de données, qui déposent leurs métadonnées sur un serveur web appelé "entrepôt", et les fournisseurs de service qui collectent (on dit aussi "moissonnent") ces données pour les intégrer à l'index de leurs propres bibliothèques numériques.
The Optimal Open Access Policy for Institutions The following optimal wording for an Institutional Policy on Open Access for [institution] is recommended to accommodate publisher embargoes: The [institution name] expects the authors of papers reporting publicly-funded research to maximise the accessibility, usage and applications of their findings. To this end: The [institution name]: (1) requires electronic copies of any research papers that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and are supported in whole or in part by public funding, to be deposited into the institutional digital repository immediately upon acceptance for publication. (2) requires that the metadata (title, authors, institutional affiliation, name of journal that has accepted the paper) be exposed from the time of deposition of the research paper (3) requires that the full-text be exposed no later than 6 months after publication of the research paper (4) encourages authors to retain ownership of the copyright of published papers where possible

Why librarians should be concerned with Open Access Rapid price escalations in scholarly journal subscription rates have been adversely affecting access to scholarly information. Often referred to as the 'serials pricing crisis', the costs of academic journals have been sharply climbing for over two decades now. According to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the average cost of a serial subscription for ARL member libraries increased by 315% from 1989 to 2003. Partially responsible for these increases is the ongoing consolidation of the journal publishing market. Impact on libraries . Journal price increases have far outpaced increases in library budgets and this has eroded libraries’ buying power significantly. In response to the rapidly rising prices of academic journals, research libraries have turned to site licensing as a means to increase their buying power and secure greater access to journals for their users. This system is simply not sustainable. Open Access offers a viable solution to the serials pricing crisis.
Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography The Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB) presents selected English-language articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet. The bibliography covers a wide range of topics, such as digital copyright, digital libraries, digital preservation, digital repositories, e-books, e-journals, license agreements, metadata, and open access. Most sources have been published from January 1, 1990 through October 30, 2011; however, a limited number of earlier key sources are also included. The bibliography includes links to freely available versions of included works. The bibliography does not include digital media works (such as MP3 files), editorials, e mail messages, letters to the editor, daily newspaper articles, presentation slides or transcripts, or weblog postings.
OpenDOAR - Home Page - Directory of Open Access Repositories Welcome to Apache Jackrabbit About Debian WHAT is Debian? The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system that we have created is called Debian. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel. However, work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, primarily for the Hurd. A large part of the basic tools that fill out the operating system come from the GNU project; hence the names: GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. It's a bit like a tower. It's all free? You may be wondering: why would people spend hours of their own time to write software, carefully package it, and then give it all away? What hardware is supported?
