3. Motivation Ink on paper … To digital Text
Isolated computers … To Global connected networks
Much of the information needed to do research is available on our own personal computers
Objective: show Usefulness
HKA

4. Open Data
Data that is openly available (on the Internet). data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control
By making [data] open...people can analyze, compare, and benchmark it, and find patterns that you did not realize.“
Open data Is different with public data which is in document format
Open data Is different with open source which is the software license of applications, a piece of software licensed under an OSI-approved license

5. What is Open Access (OA)
“Open Access means making peer reviewed scholarly manuscripts freely available via the Internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any lawful purpose, without financial, legal or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself”.
Journal Articles, Books, Chapters, Monographs, Data Etc.
Digital: Texts, Data, Images, Audio, Video, Multimedia, And Executable Code.
OA literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Open access is more than just free access
Note: “open access” was coined
by researchers trying to remove access barriers to research. (Price, Copyright)

6. Open Science
“The conduction of science in a way that others can collaborate and contribute, where research data, lab notes and other research processes are freely available, with terms that allow reuse, redistribution and reproduction of the research”
“Open Science” is defined in terms of four goals:
Transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and collection of data.
Public availability and reusability of scientific data.
Public accessibility and transparency of scientific communication.
Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific collaboration.

7. Why is Open Access needed?
Access – low or removed price
Immediacy – quicker availability
Stimulating effects – inter and multi disciplinary
Impact and citation – shorter time impact citation
Search Option - location and sharing
HKA

8. Traditional VS Open Access Publishing
Visibility
The more accessible the more people will see your article
Your data will be available to educators and the general public
Cost
Both traditional & OA journals may charge a small fee at the time of submission to cover editorial & peer review-related costs. The difference arises in the post-acceptance fees.
Traditional request per page Publication fees, and high subscriptions
Prestige
On “brand-name” journals - can increase their chances of being promoted, gaining tenure, and obtaining funding for grant proposals.
Citation and journal impact factor
Speed
The time from acceptance to publication is significantly shorter for OA journals compared with traditional journals
HKA

9. Three types of OA ‘Gold’ Open Access – ‘Green’ Open Access –
publish in an open access journal, or scholarly journal that provides free online access to the full content of the journal
‘Green’ Open Access –
a subject-based repository or an institutional repository
‘Hybrid’ Open Access –
article processing charge is paid for an individual
journal article to be made open access in an
otherwise subscription journal
“Bronze” and “Black” Open Access
“bronze” open access (a freely available journal
article with no license) and “black”
open access – illegal open access.

11. Potential Barriers seen:
Some of the challenges to implement various Open Access and related projects in Ethiopia:
Low internet bandwidth which affects remote input to the collection as well as public access from local workstations;
Finance to acquire heavy duty scanners for creating digital copies of the print collection and strong capacity servers for storage and accessibility;
Lack of clear institutional and national policy on Open Access (open scholarship).

13. Responsibilities of Libraries?
Users expect “University librarians to promote and enhance the accessibility of open access journals in their respective university libraries”

Stages on developing Digital Repository
Producing the data - any kind of data
Storing the data - where they are accessible and quickly - keeping what is necessary

Libraries should create awareness among users academic staffs, researchers, students and to whole staff of HEI’s of Ethiopia
Use of the library resources in general and e-resources in particular
library should take the initiative in informing the availability of e-information resources in different campuses of the university
Training needed both to instructions and students – to have greater impact on academic environment.
