11 Alert you to the possibility that the University’s libraries may have to make major reductions in available journals in UC’s shared digital collection…

12 The charge is wide ranging…methods of cost-effective production and dissemination of scholarly works… evaluating business models… new methods for society publishing…

13 Faculty shall routinely grant to Regents a limited, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to place in an open-access repository [their work that appears in] journal or conference proceeding…

15 Guide UC.. to improve the process of scholarly communication and assist faculty in distributing the results of their research

16 Resolution I.. The University’s Role in Fostering Positive Change in Scholarly Communication

17 Scholarly Communication is in a state of crisis that threatens to compromise UC’s core mission.

18 Libraries Systemwide Scholarly Communication Program & Priorities statement 1. Encourage faculty to manage the copyrights in their work. Provide the knowledge and tools to do so, including a publishing infrastructure that encourages innovative dissemination of their work

23 Libraries Systemwide Schol. Comm. Program & Priorities statement 2. …assist informed faculty attention and action… aggressively forward information about the costs, cost distribution, and economic and service interdependencies [in providing] access to the university's library collections.

25 Libraries Systemwide Schol. Comm. Program & Priorities statement 3. Use library buying power to its best advantage. Establish and operate according to selection principles that account for scholarly value and economic sustainability.

26 WRT “Use library buying power” libraries are jointly modeling “value-based” journal pricing

27 UC Library Investments in Transformative Scholarly Communication Models Discussion Paper from the UC Libraries Scholarly Communication Officers group. March 2005 1. Background Comprehensive access to the expanding volume of scholarly materials necessary for research and teaching is at risk. Trends in scholarly publishing, especially commercial publisher business models that result in the hyperinflation of the cost of scholarly material, limit the ability to maintain the breadth and depth of library collections and reduce exposure to, and impact of, scholars’ work. The UC Libraries are key actors in the university’s response and have developed a program of strategic actions to influence the economic dysfunctions of scholarly communication systems (http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly/).http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly/ Leveraging their market power in order to advance economically balanced

28 Libraries Systemwide Schol. Comm. Program & Priorities statement 4. Leverage individual and collective effort. Build expertise within and across the university libraries; create a network of highly engaged and informed library staff to shape and support systemwide as well as campus-based efforts.

29 UC Libraries Schol. Comm. Officers Set of Issues and Outreach Toolkits Managing Copyright Economics of Schol. Comm. Role of Societies

30 Lessons WRT faculty engagement: the power of causes célèbres WRT copyright & repositories: It’s about publishing, not “depositing”; its about services, not piles of content WRT influence (“disrupt”) the marketplace: the power & extensibility of faculty outrage

31 And finally its about collaboration With faculty, the press, departments, other service units Among 10 campus library systems (&CDL & OSC) To distribute and/or focus work for large tasks To share good practices To capitalize on distributed knowledge, skills, agendas
