10. 12/12/2015 The way forward? OAI-compliant servers in each institution? Consortial approach: –By Region? –By Library? –By subject?

11. 12/12/2015 The way forward? Is this best as a library-based operation? –It is an information activity –Librarians understand metadata –Initiative sits comfortably with digital libraries –Complements library housekeeping systems

12. 12/12/2015 Risk analysis (1) Multiple costs –Universities pay for printed journals AND OAI infrastructure Importance of peer review –Peer review is essential in some subjects, but not others –Link between unrefereed e-print and later refereed publication?

13. 12/12/2015 Risk analysis (2) What are the costs of OAIs? –Staffing costs? –Metadata costs? –Infrastructure costs? Who owns IPR? –University or individual? –OR talk about rights management?

14. 12/12/2015 Action Plan (1) From an institutional view point: –Glasgow, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Southampton and Strathclyde are investing in OAIs –Can JISC offer funding for an evaluation of these initiatives down the line?

15. 12/12/2015 Action Plan (2) –Can this review identify Best Practice? –Lobby the Funding Councils for monies to establish an over-arching body to co-ordinate these developments in the UK? –Obtain national funding to set up Open Archives in all universities?

16. 12/12/2015 The biggest risk... is to do nothing and allow Universities to continue to be victims...
