1. Toward the UNBC research library: e-learning e-research scholarly communication Lynn Copeland Simon Fraser University Library November 2, 2009

2. CARL declaration Libraries are leaders in promoting and implementing new systems and services for information seekers. CARL and its members will work with all interested parties to strengthen e-learning for Canadian students.

3. E-learning and research universities: CARL declaration On campus: Participate in evaluation selection management & governance of learning management systems and e-learning tools. Demonstrate library capabilities as an integral component of e-learning to administrators, instructional development units, and teaching faculties. Participate in instructional development. Nationally: Participate on policy and standards bodies concerned with the pan-Canadian and global aspects of e-learning; for example the Canadian Council for Learning (CCL), CanCore, LORNET, and Creative Commons Canada Advocate for the importance of libraries in e-learning with the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC),. Advocate for the importance of information literacy to student success in an e-learning environment. Provide a community of practice web site for its members and others using contemporary tools and practices. Internationally: Communicate and collaborate with similar organizations

4. Libraries’ role in elearning: Exemplary practices Modules introducing students to specific resources [digital story telling] Modules introducing students to critical evaluation of resources and specifics about thesis preparation. Development of eg. anti-plagiarism and citation style learning modules. Web-based modules to support integrated instruction –as part of an academic course, –as a separate library instruction module or –for use by an individual student. Multi-institutional online interactive reference services [Askaway]. Blogs emails RSS feeds and chat modules [twitter, mobile access]. Online ‘meeting rooms’ for interactive instruction with groups of students. Participation in development, standardization and maintenance of learning object repositories to store digital media and resources for use, reuse and redeployment across institutions.

5. Keys to success for libraries and e-learning online instruction, reciprocal borrowing privileges, Interlibrary Loans, library portals, Institutional Repositories. links to online journal articles, direct requesting for specific articles and books, electronic desktop delivery. find and organize resources to complement e-learning programs and courses. integrated at point of need within course module. Direct links to software Library LMS modules imbedded in the course.

17. Scholarly Communication changes - background Background: increasing concentration of scholarly journal publications in private for-profit enterprises with concomitant excessive price increases In essence, results of research paid for by institution and public purse sold back to the institution for substantial costs Criteria for tenure and promotion rely on publication and citation in prestige journals In context of increasing online access, changing research models

18. Result Libraries, administrations, faculty Creation of new competing journals (with recombinant editorial boards) Creation of SPARC Conception of Open Access scholarly publishing Some/increasing OA mandates

19. Open Access Gold: journal is open access Delayed: journal is open access after a time Green: journal allows deposit
