Moving towards an open access future: the role of academic libraries. Selected findings from a Roundtable discussion organised by SAGE
LARS BJØRNSHAUGE (SPARC Europe & Chair, IFLAs Open Access Task Force) - Panel with the speakers, questions and discussion: Theme how can/should libraries collaborate in order to have a role in the emerging future, where open access content will be the default.
Librarians, libraries and library associations have played a major role in the progress of OA and will continue to do so. However, now that OA is maturing and entering the mainstream, the challenges and opportunities are becoming more serious.
Scholarly communication and publishing is increasingly characterized by the dual mode: subscription based (SB) and open access (OA). With the ever increasing momentum for OA and openness the reality is that for the foreseeable future libraries will have to deal with both SB content and OA. Yet there are no signs that the costs of acquiring and handling SB content will be reduced, or that the funds for library operations will increase.
Therefore, if libraries still want to play a role in the progress and actual implementation of OA, and given that the overall funds for library operations will not increase, how should libraries cope with the challenges inherent in this most probable scenario? How can libraries position themselves to take advantage of the various opportunities this scenario offers as well?
The challenges apply to various dimensions in library operations. Our session will look at the following issues:
- Managing OA content in the widest sense: New skills, qualifications and competencies are needed to manage OA publications, research data and open educational resources. What are these skills and are they at hand today? If not, how should the profession, the library organizations and library managers ensure these skills will be available soon?
- Managing Dual Content: If libraries want to deal more with OA content but still have to deal with SB without additional financial and human resources, what are their options? Will libraries have to "outsource" operations to external entities/organizations? Or should libraries give in on autonomy and let regional/national entities negotiate and decide on licensing digital content? Are there other options to reduce costs of handling SB content?
- Developing Infrastructure: OA is still in an early stage, but with the advent of sustainable business models and increasing mandates from research funders, governments and supranational organizations such as the EU, there is a growing need for an OA infrastructure and services that allows OA content to be seamlessly integrated in library systems and services. Libraries need to support, develop and implement such infrastructure and services but this requires financial and human resources. How can libraries and library organizations contribute?
Session 121 — Libraries today and tomorrow: a force for change in our transforming societies? — President’s Theme Session
Society is rapidly being changed and transformed through many external influences, such as access to and use of ICT, grass roots democracy movements, multiculturalism and cultural integration, and economic challenges in the distribution and use of wealth. This Session will discuss how changes influencing societies today may impact on democratising digital access in societies of tomorrow; and the role that libraries can have within that transformation of society.
The commentary of speakers and delegates will contribute to the IFLA Trend Report which will be launched in 2013.

Session 142 — OCLC WorldShare: Cloud Computing, Webscale, and Building the Future with Libraries — OCLC Parallel Symposium
A truly next-generation library management system means meeting users at the point of need and creating unified collection management and stream-lined workflows for staff. The future of cloud-based library automation means providing a technical platform which frees data and services for re-use and re-purpose by libraries and third-party developers. Hear Andrew Pace, OCLC Executive Director, Networked Library Services, summarize the challenges faced by libraries and OCLC's strategic and tactical plans to offer solutions for libraries that address the changing nature of their collections and the rising expectations of their users. Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO, will speak to how OCLC’s long-term strategy will build on the promise of cloud computing in order to achieve network effects through Webscale library cooperation. This will allow every member to benefit from shared data and the participation of others.

Plenary Speaker: Siva Vaidhyanathan
Siva Vaidhyanathan is a cultural historian and media scholar, and is currently the Robertson Professor in Media Studies at the University of Virginia. From 1999 through the summer of 2007 he worked in the Department of Culture and Communication at New York University. Vaidhyanathan is a frequent contributor on media and cultural issues in various periodicals including the Chronicle of Higher Education, New York Times Magazine, The Nation, and Salon.com, and he maintains a blog, www.googlizationofeverything.com. He is a frequent contributor to National Public Radio and to MSNBC.COM and has appeared in a segment of "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. Vaidhyanathan is a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for the Future of the Book. In 2011 he was appointed chair of UVA's Department of Media Studies.
In March 2002, Library Journal cited Vaidhyanathan among its “Movers & Shakers” in the library field. In the feature story, Vaidhyanathan lauded librarians for being “on the front lines of copyright battles” and for being “the custodians of our information and cultural commons.” In November 2004 the Chronicle of Higher Education called Vaidhyanathan “one of academe’s best-known scholars of intellectual property and its role in contemporary culture.” He has testified as an expert before the U.S. Copyright Office on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
He is noted for opposing the Google Books scanning project on copyright grounds. He has published the opinion that the project poses a danger for the doctrine of fair use, because the fair use claims are arguably so excessive that it may cause judicial limitation of that right.
Vaidhyanathan was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and attended the University of Texas at Austin, earning both a B.A. in history and a Ph.D. in American studies.

Session 175 — New Paths for Public Libraries in the Developing World — Beyond Access (Libraries Powering Development)
With over 230,000 of the world's public libraries in developing and transitioning countries, there should be an obvious link between institutions dedicated to access to information and local, national, and international efforts to improve the lives of citizens through access to critical information. Although some libraries have achieved success in addressing community development issues ranging from health to agriculture to economic opportunity, public libraries are often overlooked by decision makers, funders, and international agencies when allocating funding and planning development work.
This session will examine some of the linkages between public libraries and development work, and will include brief presentations by librarians who have achieved successes related to development, as well as brainstorming and discussion of ways that librarians can take advantage of existing opportunities and make decision makers more aware of the role public libraries can play.
Beyond Access is an advocacy initiative of IREX, EIFL, IFLA, Makaia, Civic Agenda, TASCHA, The Riecken Foundation, and READ Global, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
