Publication Campus Open Access Funds: Experiences of the KU “One University” Open Access Author Fund(Pacific University Libraries, 2015-09-22) Gyore, Rachel; Reeve, Allison C; Cameron-Vedros, Crystal; Ludwig, Deborah; Emmett, AdaINTRODUCTION: In the summer of 2012, librarians from the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses of the University of Kansas (KU) proposed the creation of a KU “One University” Open Access Fund (OA Author Fund) to support open access publishing for its faculty, students, and staff. KU is a major public research and teaching institution of 28,000 students and 2,600 faculty on five campuses (Lawrence, Kansas City, Overland Park, Wichita, and Salina) (http://ku.edu/about), and has been a leader in open access initiatives for many years. A working group of librarians came together to create and implement a pilot project to explore the administration and impact of an open access publishing fund on KU authors, and the fund was launched in October 2012. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: This report documents the group’s experience in developing eligibility criteria and administering the OA Fund. Here we provide insight into our efforts implementing the project, funding results, and plans for continuation. We share the results of the first two years of the OA Author Fund pilot and the lessons learned about open access fund administration. NEXT STEPS: At the close of the pilot in May 2014, the OA fund review team solicited feedback from a faculty advisory group regarding grant recipients, allocation of funds by discipline, and the application process. Based on our findings, we revised eligibility criteria to create a more equitable funding opportunity for the second pilot. The fund was re-launched using these new criteria in Fall of 2014.Publication Connecting With Our Community: Using BibApp to Showcase Academic Medical Center Faculty and their Research(2010) Gyore, Rachel; Cameron-Vedros, Crystal; Stirnaman, Jason; Pisciotta, Robert; Cole, KarenObjective: To determine how scholarly publishing and public access at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) can be promoted using BibApp, a tool that identifies experts on campus, promotes their research, and archives their work. Setting: The Archie R. Dykes Library at the University of Kansas Medical Center, which serves the schools of medicine, nursing, allied health, and a teaching hospital. The library has a liaison program to facilitate work with the schools and hospital. Methods: Stakeholders from each school with an interest in promoting public access and showcasing faculty scholarship were identified. A pilot site was developed to demonstrate how each school would be presented in BibApp, and demonstrations were given to illustrate the connection between publication data in BibApp, public access content in the library's digital repository, and the steps needed in between to secure copyright compliance and author permissions. Demonstrations also included examples of exporting publication data for use in CVs and annual reports.
