$150,000 Available to Publish Open Access Articles: VT’s OPEN ACCESS SUBVENTION FUND
McMillan, Gail (Virginia Tech, 2017-12-05)
Course Description If you're writing an article for a scholarly journal, Virginia Tech Libraries will support the Article Publishing Charge (APC) of up to $1500 for publication in an open access (OA) journal. The fund also supports APCs for hybrid OA journals, if the publisher reduces institutional subscription prices. The OASF is available to everyone In the VT community—faculty, staff, and students. In this session we will review Virginia Tech’s Open Access Subvention Fund award criteria, locate OA journals, and identify databases that help determine if the publisher meets the funding criteria. Bring your laptop or tablet and practice or create an OASF request with the fund manager at hand. At the conclusion of the session you will be in a good position to have your next article funded, which you can link to your résumé, annual activity report, or dossier for promotion and tenure/continued appointment.

17 Interviews with Virginia Tech CALS Faculty: State of Research and How Information Professionals Can Help
Haugen, Inga (2016-12-07)
In the early months of 2016, Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profit service that helps the academic community navigate economic and technological change, asked various land grant universities to be a part of a national project examining the current state of research and how information professionals can support agricultural researchers. Eighteen institutions and the National Agriculture Library (NAL) chose to participate; Virginia Tech (VT) is one of the participating entities. There were two main aspects of participation, the interview stage and then reporting. Each of the institutions were tasked with identifying appropriate faculty to interview, and then conducting the interviews, transcribing and anonymizing the transcripts, and only then sharing information with Ithaka S+R. The national report was created by Ithaka S+R staff Danielle Cooper and Roger Schonfeld from 5 anonymized transcripts made available from the interviewing process at every participating campus, resulting in n=95 interviews for the national report . This report herein is created from only the local responses at Virginia Tech (n=17 faculty). The project we report here was designed with this combined nature, therefor some of the variables of the study design accommodate the scope of the national report better. However, analyzing the 17 results from Virginia Tech reveals a vision of what researchers at Virginia are doing as they seek information.

2013 NDLTD Survey of ETD Practices
McMillan, Gail; Stark, Shannon; Halbert, Martin (2013)
Our intention with this survey was to overcome the lack of baseline data about ETDs. Surprisingly, while ETDs have been available for over 15 years, no one has systematically collected general data about ETDs or the graduate programs that process them. Therefore, we set out to create a survey that would collect as much helpful information as possible regarding program planning, collection content and size, collection management, and assessment. We also hoped to identify current best practices as well as problem areas for all institutions to be aware of, and to chart the longitudinal progress of this growing responsibility.

2015 Open Access Week Keynote Address: Victoria Stodden
Stodden, Victoria (Virginia Tech. University Libraries, 2015-11-03)
Victoria Stodden gave the keynote address for Open Access Week 2015. "Scholarly communication in the era of big data and big computation" was sponsored by the University Libraries, Computational Modeling and Data Analytics, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Statistics, the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (LISA), and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. Victoria Stodden is an associate professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She completed both her PhD in statistics and her law degree at Stanford University. Her research centers on the multifaceted problem of enabling reproducibility in computational science. This includes studying adequacy and robustness in replicated results, designing and implementing validation systems, developing standards of openness for data and code sharing, and resolving legal and policy barriers to disseminating reproducible research.

McMillan, Gail (Virginia Tech, 2021-10)
Course Description Learn from the Open Access Subvention Fund (OASF) manager how to get the library to pay the article processing charges (APCs) when your article is accepted by an OA journal that requires these fees.

Everyone in the VT community—faculty, staff, and students, is eligible for support from the Libraries’ fund. In this session we will review the OASF award guidelines, identify journal and publisher databases to help you determine if a journal meets the funding criteria, locate OA journals in your field, and discuss VT’s new open access policy that was approved by the Board of Visitors in March 2021. If there’s time we will also talk about the Libraries’ publishing services, including open textbooks, and book subvention opportunities.

A 3D Data Preservation Model in Cross-Disciplinary Use
Kinnaman, Alex (2020-11-12)
This poster presents the results of a multi-case study on 3D datasets at Virginia Tech University Libraries and an invitation to participate in a survey on 3D and virtual reality preservation methods. These results will culminate in a proposed 3D/VR preservation workflow employed by VTUL on a current 3D digitization project.
3D Data Repository Features, Best Practices, and Implications for Preservation Models: Findings from a National Forum
Hardesty, Juliet; Johnson, Jennifer; Wittenberg, Jamie; Hall, Nathan; Cook, Matt; Lischer-Katz, Zack; Xie, Zhiwu; McDonald, Robert H. (2020-07)
This study identifies challenges and directions for 3D/VR repository standards and practices. As 3D technologies become more affordable and accessible, academic libraries need to implement workflows, standards, and practices that support the full lifecycle of 3D data. This study invited experts across several disciplines to analyze current national repository and preservation efforts. Outlined models provide frameworks to identify features, examine workflows, and determine implications of 3D data on current preservation models. Participants identified challenges for supporting 3D data, including intellectual property and fair use; providing repository system management beyond academic libraries; seeking guidance outside of academia for workflows to model.
4/16 Exhibit 2018
Fralin, Scott; Kennelly, Tamara (Virginia Tech, 2018-04-10)
This exhibit honors those lost in the April 16 tragedy and recognizes the support of the community. It features photos taken by members of the community in the weeks following April 16, 2007. Out of hundreds of submissions, 41 images by more than 25 photographers were selected by Mary Tartaro, then director of the Perspective Gallery in Squires Student Center. Captions from the photographers, expressing their emotions at the time they took them, are included with the photos. Images include shots of rescue vehicles and satellite trucks, memorials set up on the Drillfield and around town, and students signing banners and white boards on the Drillfield. The convocation, candlelight vigil, and dedication of the Memorial are also represented. The photos show how the community moved forward together with shots of the Concert for Virginia Tech, “VT Thanks You” spelled out on the Drillfield, and the vigil held in support of Northern Illinois University. The exhibit is a collaboration of the University Libraries and Student Engagement and Campus Life.
