- Beyond the Paywall: Examining Open Access and Data Sharing Practices Among Faculty at Virginia Tech Through the Lens of Social ExchangeLawrence-Kuether, Maureen Anne (Virginia Tech, 2017-06-20)The movement towards open access has allowed academic researchers to communicate and share their scholarly content more widely by being freely available to Internet users. However, there are still issues of concern among faculty in regards to making their scholarly output open access. This study surveyed Virginia Tech faculty (N = 264) awareness and attitudes toward open access practices. In addition, faculty were asked to identify factors that inhibited or encouraged their participation in open access repositories. Findings indicate that while the majority of Virginia Tech faculty are seeking to publish in open access, many are unaware of the open access services provided by the university and even less are using the services available to them. Time, effort, and costs were identified as factors inhibiting open access and data sharing practices. Differences in awareness and attitudes towards open access were observed among faculty ranks and areas of research. Virginia Tech will need to increase faculty awareness of institutional open access repositories and maximize benefits over perceived costs if there is to be more faculty participation in open access practices.

- Collaborative Batch Creation for Open Access E-Books: A Case StudyYoung, Philip; Culbertson, Rebecca; McGrath, Kelley (Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 2012-09-24)When the National Academies Press announced that more than 4,000 electronic books would be made freely available for download, many academic libraries expressed interest in obtaining MARC records for them. Using cataloging listservs, volunteers were recruited for a project to identify and upgrade bibliographic records for aggregation into a batch that could be easily loaded into catalogs. Project organization, documentation, quality control measures, and problems are described, as well as processes for adding new titles. The project’s implications for future efforts are assessed, as are the numerous challenges for network-level cataloging.
- Connecting the Opens: Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources, Establishing Your Online Scholarly PresenceMcNabb, Kayla B.; Young, Philip; Petters, Jonathan L.; Walz, Anita R.; Surprenant, Aimée (Virginia Tech, 2023-10-23)The 2023 Open Access Forum features presentations on open access, open data, open educational resources, and establishing an online scholarly presence, followed by Q&A.
- Connecting the Opens: Open Access, Open Education, Open DataPotter, Peter J.; Walz, Anita R.; DePauw, Karen P.; Jhangiani, Rajiv; Artiles, Mayra S.; Abbas, Montasir M.; Petters, Jonathan L.; Young, Philip (Virginia Tech. University Libraries, 2018-03-19)Open practices represent opportunities to align scholarly and instructional processes with scholarly ideals, ethical stances, real work impacts, and aspirations for a more just and equitable world. There are many types of “open.” The three we will discuss, open access, open education, and open data practices may appear distinct and siloed from each other; This is only a surface-level view. In reality, these open practices areas have tremendous areas of overlap. Their underlying values reflect similar aspirations for the common good, and aims of overcoming some shared problems found in research and instruction in higher education and in society in general. This panel features students, faculty, and administrators with wide range of expertise in the three areas of open access, open education, and open data. Join us for a stimulating conversation in which we come to understand the differences and similarities between the opens, their purposes, and their potential. Presenters: Peter Potter, Anita Walz Panelists: Karen DePauw, Rajiv Jhangiani, Philip Young, Jon Petters, Mayra Artiles, Monty Abbas This event was part of Virginia Tech’s Open Education 2018 Symposium and was attended by many graduate students from Preparing the Future Professoriate.

- Digging Deeper into Text and Data MiningHaugen, Inga; Lener, Edward F.; Pannabecker, Virginia; Young, Philip (Virginia Tech, 2017-10)Text and data mining (TDM) approaches are increasingly used for research in a variety of disciplines to create, explore, and analyze large datasets. This presentation explores opportunities for library support for TDM, including expanding licensing permissions, clarifying legal aspects, identifying TDM sources and tools, developing expertise, and outreach.
- Get Noticed - Managing your scholarly career in an age of metrics, social media, and open researchWalz, Anita R.; Pannabecker, Virginia; Young, Philip; Potter, Peter J.; McMillan, Gail (2017-06)This workshop is designed for busy faculty who want a jump start in developing new skills, mastering new tools, and learning new approaches related to sharing their work and extending their impact. As delivered in June 2017, University librarians and publishing experts presented a variety of tools and methods to enable faculty members to: (1) leverage their rights as authors, (2) build and manage their online presence, (3) share their work and get noticed, and (4) demonstrate their impact. Attendees had the opportunity to set and refine individual goals for their workshop participation and beyond. Hands-on time and assistance were included for attendees to make tangible progress in their identified areas. Time was also allocated for attendees to discuss common problems and solutions.
