Subject: [Dspace-general] Reminder: Call for Papers - DSUG @ OR08
Message-ID: <4779F9E7.20402@biomedcentral.com>

Hello,

As what is, at the time of writing, the first post of 2008, may I take 
this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.

Of course, this is the time for resolutions, and if you're still 
thinking about what you can do this year, then might I suggest - 
submitting a paper to the DSpace User Group meeting in Southampton!!

With the deadline for submissions just under three weeks away on 21st of 
January, there is still time to think about something to present. Papers 
can be submitted now via the EasyChair site: 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=OR08
(please use the '~ DSpace meeting' category).

Just to recall, we're looking for submissions up to 4 pages in length in 
either PDF or HTML format. For more details, see the guidelines for the 
general Open Repositories conference: http://or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/cfp.html.

Thanks, and hope to see as many of you as possible in Southampton this 
April.

Graham

Dear,

also a Happy New Year from the @mire NV team in Belgium.

Our personal wishlist for 2008 includes continued growth in the number of
asset stores and repositories and more support and attention for open access
from institutes, governments and researchers.
Last but not least, we hope to meet you (again) during one of the upcoming
conferences (OR being the first one).

As a company, we look forward to elaborate our relationship with the
community//DSpace Foundation in 2008 and to continue supporting institutes
around the world in their IR projects with tailor made solutions and advice.

with kindest regards,

Bram Luyten - Ben Bosman - Lieven Droogmans

Please excuse the cross-postings!

 

We are in the process of drafting memorandums of understanding, service
level agreements, and content deposit licenses for our consortial digital
repository service and I'm looking for examples of these types of documents
to share with our legal counsel. I've found some good examples online, in
the SPEC Kit, etc.,  but know a lot of these types of documents are either
included as click-throughs in an authenticated submission workflow or are
managed externally.making them a bit harder to access. 

 

If you'd be willing to share examples from your digital or institutional
repository service either here or off-list, it would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance,

 Jessica

Subject: [Dspace-general] Upcoming conference sponsored by JA-SIG
Message-ID: <01DB23D3-CD2D-4FB8-859A-770D3C0207BD@dspace.org>

DSpace Community-

The JA-SIG conference this spring is expanding its scope to include  
participants and discussion around a number of open source software  
applications/platforms used in higher education. The DSpace  
Foundation  is participating on the steering committee to come up  
with a compelling program regarding open source solutions for both  
developers and Program/Service Managers.  For those in the community  
who can not make it to OR2008, this would be an excellent venue for  
the DSpace community to convene with others tackling similar problems  
using open source solutions.

In addition to the conference I hope to have a few pre-conference  
seminars specifically for the DSpace community.  If you are  
interested in organizing a pre-conference seminar please let me  
know.  The seminars are typically 3 hours long and focused on  
training, installation, integration and the like.  I am also  
considering having a 3/4 day meeting following the conference to  
bring the Program/Service Managers together to discuss process for  
gathering input from the broad community as it relates to software  
development ,the roadmap, and services the foundation can provide.   
Please let me know if you are interested in working with the  
foundation to organize and chair the post conference meeting.

sincerely,
Michele Kimpton
DSpace Foundation Executive Director

Subject: [Dspace-general] Stats
Message-ID: <0EBF5066-4548-4727-98F8-30172BBDC96C@mbl.edu>

Hello,

We've been experiencing some problems with our statistics for a while  
now.  Here are a few symptoms:

1.  General report only shows about 10 weeks of data, keeps cutting  
off the older stuff
2.  Monthly reports follow this pattern, as only the most recent 3  
months have data, the rest show all zeros
3.  Presently, our general report cuts off at 12/30, no 2008 data
4.  Monthly report for 1/2008 is all zeros, with the exception of the  
'Archive Information' section

The systems administrator who set up this installation, has since  
moved on, and we're trying to get our stats back on track.  Two  
questions:

1.  I notice that in addition to stat-monthly, stat-general, stat- 
report-monthly & stat-report-general running as a cron each night,  
stat-initial & stat-report-initial are also running each night.    
Should these initial jobs be running each night?

2.  At this point would it be best to just rebuild statistics as if  
we were bringing up a new installation?  All log data would be  
preserved, just the reports would be overwritten, correct?

Thanks for any advice.

Dear All,

 

We are currently in the process of implementing DSpace at our
Organisation. 

 

We are attempting to plan for future reporting functionality. Does
anyone else report out of DSpace? If so, could you please provide any
ideas/suggestions which may assist us in our planning process?  

 

We need to report on certain categories of new publications added to the
repository on a regular (say quarterly) basis but wish to exclude any
bulk loads of back files. To achieve this we think we will have to add a
local field for this purpose to identify those records which we wish to
count (or alternatively identify those we wish to exclude). Is anyone
using any specific local fields or note fields for reporting purposes or
have any ideas how we may be able to achieve our requirement?  

 

Any information / suggestions will be most greatly appreciated.


Kind regards,

Subject: [Dspace-general] locking down bitstreams - authorisations?
Message-ID: <75CF552F30ECFA439D9B3008906F2A37027AA251@STAWINCOMAILCL1.staff.vuw.ac.nz>

Hi there,

 

Anyone that can wrestle with the authorisations in DSpace is welcome to
offer their wisdom!

 

We want to enable a user with either Workflow Step 2 or Collection
Administrator access to a collection with the ability to 'lock down' a
bitstream in an item that is going through the workflow or even after
the dang thing is in the archive.  

 

Workflow S2 has ADD/REMOVE

Collection Admin has COLLECTION_ADMIN

 

Only the overall administrator seems to have the power to 'lock down' 1+
of the bitstreams in an item - which is a bit of a bind if you want to
decentralise some control over how digital objects are submitted and
managed at collection level.  

 

We have seen the Embargo on Bitstream that the University of Leiden have
introduced, which might offer an alternative:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Embargo_on_Bitstream.  But.. we'd like
to be sure that we aren't missing any way of working with the
authorisation as it currently stands.  

 

Any thoughts welcomed.

 

Regards, Ingrid

 

Ps. why do we want to lock 1 bitstream down and leave the other open - 1
of the bitstreams is a signed permission form (we haven't rolled out
user submission at this point) the other is the thesis or academic
output that we want to be openly available.

Subject: [Dspace-general] Cannot delete collections from Dspace
Message-ID: <033e01c852c6$25c26c00$46d6fbc3@library.uom.gr>

Dear all,

Recently I am dealing with a problem with my Dspace installation (1.4.2).
When I try to delete a collection and/or community from Dspace
the system returns an "Internal Server Error". The explanation
of this error is shown below:

Exception:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: update or delete on "item" violates foreign key constraint "$1" on "dcvalue"

at org.postgresql.util.PSQLException.parseServerError(PSQLException.java:139)
at org.postgresql.core.QueryExecutor.executeV3(QueryExecutor.java:152)
at org.postgresql.core.QueryExecutor.execute(QueryExecutor.java:100)
at org.postgresql.core.QueryExecutor.execute(QueryExecutor.java:43)
at org.postgresql.jdbc1.AbstractJdbc1Statement.execute(AbstractJdbc1Statement.java:517)
at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.execute(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:50)
at org.postgresql.jdbc1.AbstractJdbc1Statement.executeUpdate(AbstractJdbc1Statement.java:273)
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement.executeUpdate(DelegatingPreparedStatement.java:101)
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement.executeUpdate(DelegatingPreparedStatement.java:101)
at org.dspace.storage.rdbms.DatabaseManager.updateQuery(DatabaseManager.java:519)
etc, etc
..........
.........

The exact reason for this error seems to be that the collection id is referenced from another table, but isn't that what the
system is supposed to do when deleting a community/collection? Shouldn't all the relations be deleted and/or get handled by
the Dspace system?

If I go manually into the Postgres and delete all the "relations" of one collection by hand then the items related to that collection remain
in the tables. I then have to do the "manual deletion" process by hand for each item, something which is not very efficient when dealing 
with thousands of records (items).

Does anyone have had this problem before?

Kind Regards,

-Fk

Hi Filippos,


are you sure you're running 1.4.2?
The table "dcvalue" does not exist anymore in 1.4.2. It has been 
replaced in 1.4.

In 1.3.2 there has been a known bug
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1333269&group_id=19984&atid=119984
on the deletion of collections/communities containing withdrawn items.

cheers

Filippos,

When you upgraded to 1.4.x, the DCVALUE table should have been deleted
after it's contents were migrated over to METADATAVALUE, and a view put
in it's place.

It looks like this hasn't happened, and that you still have a DCVALUE
table in your database, that has it's old contents (and there is no code
in 1.4.x to maintain).

Check that you correctly have a METADATAVALUE table (with the correct
contents), and then you should be able to safely delete the DCVALUE
table (and replace it with a view - although that probably won't be
necessary).

Take a look at etc/database_schema_13-14.sql for more information.

Is is possible to configure feeds in Dspace to push out a 'smarter'  
feed?

Such as described here:  http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/dc/

We're interested in being able to see the DC tags in the RSS.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <E89010005DD2A14C9BA6B4AF11BF84B89E3390@SI-ECL03.US.SINET.SI.EDU>

I wonder how many people are using the 'Request Copy' button to restrict access to repository content on a case-by-case basis. If you are not familiar with this, you can learn more at: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php//RequestCopy

To see what it looks like in practice, go to: http://hdl.handle.net/10088/2624

My question is whether some repository harvesting sites such as OpenDOAR, Google Scholar and/or the OAI-PMH harvesters would object to having content 'restricted' in this sense. Most of the harvester/aggregator sites ask that all content be freely available before they will include a Dspace installation in their index. 

Technically such items are freely available to any user (with the consent of the author) and there is no requirement to register and/or pay for the material. 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Would it be inappropriate to open my repository up to these services if some (most, all, few?) contents are limited in this way? Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Andrea,

> Poster Submission Deadline: Monday 4th February 200
I'm on the steering committee for the Open Repositories conference so 
maybe I can explain the process (it's a new conference so this is 
evolving).
The deadline for submissions to the main conference was December 7th, 
and the deadline for poster submissions for the *main conference* is 
Monday, February 4.

The program committee is just finishing its review of the conference 
paper submissions, and many of those will be referred to the poster 
session or one of the user group meetings. There were a lot of good 
papers this year so there are a lot of these referrals, but there is 
plenty of room for more submissions to both the poster session and the 
user group meeting.

I don't think we planned to have a separate poster session for DSUG, but 
that might be possible to do at the user group reception, if people 
wanted another chance to talk about their work and didn't get accepted 
to the main DSUG program or the main poster session.

Let me know if you have more questions and I'll do my best to answer,

MacKenzie

(1) Neither the DSpace "Request Copy" Button nor the EPrints "Request a Copy"
Button (on which it was based) "restrict access to repository content".
http://www.eprints.org/news/features/request_button.php

(2) What makes it possible to deposit a document and metadata, and then
restrict access to the metadata alone is both the DSpace and the EPrints
software, which offer both an Open Access and a Closed Access deposit
option.

(3) There are many reasons depositors might wish to use the Closed
Access deposit option. The main reason is that some publishers impose
an access-embargo of 6-12 months or more. Another is that in some
cases the author might want direct control over -- or a record of --
who accesses his paper.
http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/274-guid.html

(4) Both OpenDOAR and ROAR http://roar.eprints.org/ as well as
OAIster http://www.oaister.org/ harvest the metadata of all suitable
OAI-compliant repositories, regardless of whether the full-text item
itself is Open Access or Closed Access. (Google Scholar only harvests
accessible full-texts, though it displays cited items undeposited items
too, and links to Google as another way to find a link to the item.)

(5) It is for this reason that the combination of Closed Access
full-text, open-access metadata and the Button is called "almost-open
access" and not open access.

(6) Once the IDOA (Immediate-Deposit/Optional-Access) mandates, with the
help of the Closed Access plus Button option, spread to all universities
and funders worldwide, access embargoes will soon die a natural and
well-deserved death under the mounting demand for open access.
http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/71-guid.html

So the upshot is this: For years now, researchers have failed to
deposit their full-texts in sufficient numbers on their own initiative
to provide 100% OA, partly because of concerns about copyrights and
embargoes. IDOA mandates will now remedy that. 100% of articles will
now be deposited. At least 62% of them will be immediately OA. The
remainder will initially be almost OA.
http://romeo.eprints.org/stats.php

And once those keystrokes -- which were the only things standing between
the research community and 100% OA all along -- are at last behind us,
100% OA will follow in short order. (You can quote me on that.) A little
more patience for now, after all this fruitless waiting for spontaneous
deposit: Concentrate on adopting a local institutional IDOA mandate
and getting everything deposited, rather than worrying about whether
the deposits will/would be picked up immediately by google. All will
be well...

Meanwhile, once your university has a deposit mandate, please register
it in ROARMAP:

Hi,
it's true several harvesting sites do not collect metadata where the 
full-text is not available.
For instance PLEIADI, the Portal for the Italian Electronic 
Literature in Open and Institutional Archives, at:
http://www.openarchives.it/pleiadi/index.php?sel_lang=english
selects only items with accessible full-text from Italian 
OAI-compliant repositories.
This is not a technical restriction but a policy choice.

But the most important drawback of restricted access is that it makes 
impossible
to perform more extensive work on texts, such as citation analysis, 
text mining, etc.

Regards, Susanna

OPEN REPOSITORIES 2008: CALL FOR POSTERS
http://www.openrepositories.org/2008

We invite developers, researchers and practitioners to submit 2-page poster 
proposals describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and 
use of repositories.

Repositories are being deployed in a variety of settings (research, 
scholarship, learning, science, cultural heritage) and across a range of scales 
(subject, national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal). The aim 
of this conference is to address the technical, managerial, practical and 
theoretical issues that arise from diverse applications of repositories in the 
increasingly pervasive information environment.

A programme of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups, 
tutorials and developer coding sessions will bring together all the key 
stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for the 
major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide opportunities to 
advance and co-ordinate the development of repository installations across the 
world.

Hola a todos,

Quisiera saber si alguien me puede indicar como configurar la licencia
CreativeCommons en Dspace. Ya activamos la opci?n "true" en el dspace.cfg,
pero cuando intentamos subir un nuevo ?tem, aunque aparece la p?gina para
escoger una licencia, el Dspace no nos da la opci?n para continuar y siempre
es necesario decirle rechazar licencia para poder continuar.

Agradezco de antemano si alguien que haya tenido un problema similar nos
puede ayudar.

----English version----
Hi, anyone could tell me how configure CreativeCommons License in Dspace?.
We activate the "true" option in dspace.cg, but when we try to submit a new
item (allthough appear the page to select the license) Dspace do not
activate the "continue" buttom and we have to refuse licence to continue.

I really appreciate your help.

Open Scholarship: Authority, Community and Sustainability in the Age of Web 2.0

Scholarly communications, in particular scholarly publications, are 
undergoing tremendous changes. Researchers, universities, funding 
bodies, research libraries and publishers are responding in different 
ways, from active experimentation, adaptation, to strong resistance. 
The ELPUB2008 conference will focus on key issues on the future of 
scholarly communications resulting from the intersection of semantic 
web technologies, the development of cyberinfrastructure for 
humanities and the sciences, and new dissemination channels and 
business models. We welcome a wide variety of papers from members of 
these communities whose research and experiments are transforming the 
nature of scholarly communications. Topics include but are not restricted to:

*   New Publishing models, tools, services and roles
*   New scholarly constructs and discourse methods
*   Innovative business models for scholarly publishing
*   Multilingual and multimodal interfaces
*   Services and technology for specific user communities, media, and content
*   Content search, analysis and retrieval
*   Interoperability, scalability and middleware infrastructure to 
facilitate awareness and discovery
*   Personalisation technologies (e.g. social tagging, folksonomies, 
RSS, microformats)
*   Metadata creation, usage and interoperability
*   Semantic web issues
*   Data mining, text harvesting, and dynamic formatting
*   User generated content and its relation to publisher's content
*   Usage and citation impact
*   Security, privacy and copyright issues
*   Digital preservation, content authentication

ABOUT ELPUB

The ELPUB 2008 conference will keep the tradition of the previous 
international conferences on electronic publishing, held in the 
United Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999), 
Russia (2000), the Czech Republic (2002), Portugal (2003), Brazil 
(2004), Belgium (2005), Bulgaria (2006) and Austria (2007), which is 
to bring together researchers, lecturers, librarians, developers, 
business executives, entrepreneurs, managers, users and all those 
interested in issues regarding electronic publishing in a wide 
variety of contexts. These include the human, cultural, economic, 
social, technological, legal, commercial, and other relevant aspects 
that such an exciting theme encompasses.

Three distinguishing features of this conference are: broad scope of 
topics which creates a unique atmosphere of active exchange and 
learning about various aspects of scholarly communications and 
electronic publishing; combination of general and technical issues; 
and a condensed procedure of submission, revision and publication of 
proceedings which guarantees presentations of most recent work.

ELPUB 2008 offers a variety of activities, such as workshops, 
tutorials, panel debates, poster presentation and demonstrations.  A 
variety of social events and sight-seeing tours will be available to 
participants (at additional costs). Please see the conference web 
site for details.

Conference Location: Toronto, Canada. Toronto is one of the most 
vibrant cities in North-America. It has a large multicultural 
population, is the largest city in Canada and the 5th-largest city in 
North America. There are many world class galleries and museums 
across the city and you will find authentic cuisines from around the 
world at reasonable prices.

Conference Host: Knowledge Media Design Institute (KMDI), University 
of Toronto. KMDI  is a graduate research and teaching institute at 
the University of Toronto, and an intellectual incubator fostering 
cross-disciplinary initiatives across the university. The work of the 
institute spans both the scientific study of the ways in which media 
shapes and is shaped by human activity, and the practical work of 
founding an interdisciplinary nexus for design and evaluation of both 
media and media technologies. KMDI has acknowledged leadership, 
substantial research programs and broad participation in three major 
areas: collaboration and collaboration technologies, the phenomenon 
of openness and new forms of knowledge production and dissemination, 
and public policy and citizen engagement.

Subject: [Dspace-general] Spanish language problems
Message-ID: <4798B9F7.8060000@unav.es>

Hi guys.

    I've searched and searched for a solution, but can't find anything. 
I'm running a spanish site with dspace, and 'special' characters like 
'?', '?' and '?' are driving me nuts. Everything works fine, except the 
searches. Whenever I search something like 'F?sica', the search isn't 
run properly. howeverm it works if I search for 'Fisica'. I'm running my 
site with apache and tomcat, and this combination seems to fool the 
application, because if I shut down apache and reconfigure tomcat to 
listen on apache's port, it works just fine!! I've checked everywhere 
for a file not using UTF-8 encoding, but haven't been able to find any: 
apache conf files, tomcat conf files, java variables...

    So this problem seems to be only present when you use both apache 
and tomcat (and non-english languages, of course)

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this?

    Thanks!

Hi,

I suspect it may be that you've added the UTF-8 encoding attribute to
the HTTP connector, but you haven't placed it on the JK connector.

Ok, it sure had to deal with connectors...

I have just changed:

<Connector port="8009"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" 
protocol="AJP/1.3"/>

into

<Connector port="8009"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3"
               URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

And now it works perfect!!

Seems it was AJP/1.3 who wasn't talking the same language as the rest os 
the system...

Thanks for your help, Graham!

	Recommendations
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0801270133240.32012@login.ecs.soton.ac.uk>

              [Apologies for Multiple Posting]

These recommendations by the EUA Working Group on Open Access were
adopted unanimously by the Council of the European University
Association on January 25 2008.

Many thanks to Professor Bernard Rentier, Rector, University of Liege
and founder of EurOpenScholar, who has forwarded them to the American
Scientist Open Access Forum for posting, with permission.

Below are the highlights of the recommendations, followed by the
recommendations in full. The recommendation is that all European
Universities should create institutional repositories and should mandate
that all research publications must be deposited in them immediately upon
publication (and made Open Access as soon as possible thereafter), as
already mandated by RCUK, ERC, and NIH, and as recommended by EURAB. EUA
also recommends that this self-archiving mandate should be extended to
all research results arising from EU research programme/project funding.

HIGHLIGHTS:

A. Recommendations for University Leadership

     The basic approach... should be the creation of an institutional
     repository. These repositories should be established and managed
     according to current best practices (following recommendations
     and guidelines from DRIVER and similar projects) complying with the
     OAI-PMH protocol and allowing inter-operability and future networking
     for wider usage....

     University institutional policies should require that their
     researchers deposit (self-archive) their scientific publications
     in their institutional repository upon acceptance for publication.
     Permissible embargoes should apply only to the date of open access
     provision and not the date of deposit. Such policies would be in
     compliance with evolving policies of research funding agencies at
     the national and European level such as the ERC.

B. Recommendations for National Rectors' Conferences

     All National Rectors' Conferences should work with national research
     funding agencies and governments in their countries to implement
     the requirement for self-archiving of research publications
     in institutional repositories and other appropriate open access
     repositories according to best practice models of the ERC and existing
     national research funding agencies operating open access mandates...

C. Recommendations for the European University Association

     EUA should continue to contribute actively to the policy dialogue on
     Open Access at the European level with a view to a self-archiving
     mandate for all research results arising from EU research
     programme/project funding, hence in support of and building upon
     the ERC position and other international initiatives such as that
     of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Recommendations from the European University Association Working Group 
on Open Access

I. WG: Aims and Scope

In January 2007 EUA established a 'Working Group on Open Access' for a
one year period as a platform of expert opinion to provide both a voice
for, and visibility to European universities as stakeholders in the
policy debate. Its mission was dual-fold: to raise awareness of the
importance of 'open access' issues to the wider university community,
both in terms of its impact upon the research process and its financial
implications for university libraries, and to develop recommendations
for a common strategy for the university sector as key stakeholders in
policy development in the field. The decision to set up the Working
Group had reflected the general view that the interests of universities
were not being heard in the growing policy debate on the issue of the
wide implications of rapid development of digital ICT for publishing
which tended to be dominated by the commercial interests of the major
scientific publishing companies.

The Working Group membership drew upon the range of different university
perspectives on the concept of 'Open Access' from those of academic
researchers, librarians and university management. In the course of its
three meetings in 2007 the Working Group gathered expert opinion on open
access publishing business models, legal and copyright issues, technical
development of national digital repositories and their European
networking, and the policies being developed towards open access
publishing by funding agencies at the national level and the European
Commission.

Professor Sijbolt Noorda (Chair of the WG) and members contributed also
to several European Conferences held in 2007 including the major
conference on 'Scientific Publishing in the Digital Age' held jointly by
the European Commission DG Research and DG Information and Media in
Brussels in February 2007 in which the university sector were recognised
formally as a major 'stakeholder' in the open access policy debate.

In reaching its recommendations that are addressed to three audiences -
university leaders at the institutional level,?? National Rectors
Conferences and the EUA - the Working Group has borne in mind the full
spectrum of issues involved; these range from the clear opportunity
offered to widen access to the results of research, to the implications
of open access publishing for peer review and quality assurance in
academic research and the rapidly rising costs of scientific
publications for university libraries (through high subscription prices
for both electronic and printed journals, including 'bundling' marketing
strategies by publishers).

II. European and Global Context of the Recommendations

The WG recommendations seek to build upon the findings of the 'Study on
the Economic and Technical Evolution of Scientific Publications Markets
in Europe' (European Commission, DG Research, project report, January
2006), and public statements issued by the European Research Council
(ERC) and the European Research Advisory Board (EURAB) on Open Access as
well as the current practices of some funding agencies such as UK
Research Councils and the newly adopted policy of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States concerning open access
mandates for peer-reviewed publications arising from grants.

In the European context the most recent significant development has been
the ERC announcement on 17th December 2007 of its position on open
access, as follows:

 	"The ERC requires that all peer-reviewed publications from
 	ERC-funded research projects be deposited on publication
 	into an appropriate research repository where available, such
 	as PubMedCentral, ArXiv or an institutional repository, and
 	subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of publication."

WG recommendations seek also to provide support to European level
initiatives promoting institutional repositories, their networking and
wider accessibility through the future Confederation of European
Repositories being developed by the DRIVER project consortium (funded
under the European Commission 7th Research Framework Programme) and
other university-led initiatives such as EurOpenScholar and the UNICA
network.

III. Recommendations

The WG recommendations (below) are based upon the following core
premises: the university's role and responsibility as guardian of
research knowledge as a 'public good'; the results of publicly-funded
research should be publicly-available as soon as possible; and quality
assurance peer review processes are pre-conditions for scholarly
publishing and therefore are essential to be maintained in the digital
publishing mode.

It is important to emphasise that the scope of the WG recommendations
cover as a priority the need for the enhancement of open access to
peer-reviewed published research literature only, and not scientific
research data, teaching materials etc. Issues of access to research
data, its archiving and preservation need further attention from
universities, funding agencies and scientific professional bodies, and
are subject to several initiatives at the national and European level
which are not addressed here (e.g. the Alliance for Permanent Access and
European Digital Information Infrastructure).

A. Recommendations for University Leadership

 	1.	Universities should develop institutional policies and
strategies that foster the availability of their quality controlled
research results for the broadest possible range of users, maximising
their visibility, accessibility and scientific impact.

 	2.	The basic approach for achieving this should be the creation of
an institutional repository. These repositories should be established
and managed according to current best practices (following
recommendations and guidelines from DRIVER and similar projects)
complying with the OAI-PMH protocol and allowing inter-operability and
future networking for wider usage.

 	3.	University institutional policies should require that their
researchers deposit (self-archive) their scientific publications in
their institutional repository upon acceptance for publication.
Permissible embargoes should apply only to the date of open access
provision and not the date of deposit. Such policies would be in
compliance with evolving policies of research funding agencies at the
national and European level such as the ERC.

 	4.	University policies should include copyright in the
institutional intellectual property rights (IPR) management. It should
be the responsibility of the university to inform their faculty
researchers about IPR and copyright management in order to ensure the
wider sharing and re-use of the digital research content they have
produced. This should include a clear policy on ownership and management
of copyright covering scholarly publications and define procedures for
ensuring that the institution has the right to use the material produced
by its staff for further research, educational and instructional
purposes.

 	5.	University institutional policies should explore also how own
resources could be found for author fees if 'author pays model' of open
access publishing prevails in the future in some scientific
fields/domains.

B. Recommendations for National Rectors' Conferences

 	1.	All National Rectors' Conferences should work with national
research funding agencies and governments in their countries to
implement the requirement for self-archiving of research publications in
institutional repositories and other appropriate open access
repositories according to best practice models of the ERC and existing
national research funding agencies operating open access mandates.
National Rectors' Conferences should encourage government to work within
the framework of the Council of the European Union Conclusions on
Scientific Information in the Digital Age: Access, Dissemination and
Preservation" adopted at the EU Competitiveness Council meeting on
22nd-23rd November 2007.

 	2.	National Rectors' Conferences should attach high priority to
raising the awareness of university leadership to the importance of open
access policies in terms of enhanced visibility, access and impact of
their research results.

C. Recommendations for the European University Association

 	1.	EUA should continue to contribute actively to the policy
dialogue on Open Access at the European level with a view to a
self-archiving mandate for all research results arising from EU research
programme/project funding, hence in support of and building upon the ERC
position and other international initiatives such as that of the US
National Institutes of Health (NIH).

 	2.	EUA should continue to be visible and to rally expertise from
Europe's universities on Open Access issues to provide input to European
and International events advancing open access to scientific
publications, research data and their preservation.

 University of Michigan University Library
Message-ID: <479F78B1.6050306@mit.edu>

Posted on behalf of Jim Ottaviani at the University of Michigan.

DIGITAL PRESERVATION LIBRARIAN
SCHOLARLY RESOURCES DIVISION
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

The University Library at the University of Michigan
(http://www.lib.umich.edu/) has been actively building digital collections
for over a decade.  Since 1997 the library?s Digital Library Production
Service (http://www.lib.umich.edu/lit/dlps/) was a pioneer in developing
systems for capture and serving digitized information to the public and now
hosts over a million items from the library?s Web site. Michigan in 2002 was
among the first research libraries to commit to digitization as a
preservation technology, routinely copying brittle books to digital format
for both preservation and access.  Michigan?s participation in the early
Making of America project and recently the library?s partnership with Google
to digitize its collection (http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/) are transforming
how scholars can search and find information, as well as the practice of
research and scholarship.  The library?s groundbreaking Scholarly Publishing
Office (http://spo.umdl.umich.edu/) has joined with academic and other
partners to produce and host scholarly electronic resources since 2000.  In
the span of just two years, the library?s institutional repository, Deep
Blue (http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu), has made over 40,000 items available
in a wide range of formats.  The digital collections receive support from
the Library IT Core Services team (http://www.lib.umich.edu/lit/cs/), who
design and manage the technical infrastructure to support these collections.

The University Library seeks a Digital Preservation Librarian to provide
leadership and coordinate the library?s activities to preserve these growing
collections.  The Digital Preservation Librarian will report to the head of
the Department of Preservation and Conservation in the library?s
newly-formed Scholarly Resources division.

The Digital Preservation Librarian will:

* Propose, plan, and develop a digital preservation program for University
Library collections of enduring value in digital format: review existing
Library practices and analyze needs; establish policies and best practices
for the long-term protection and access to digital materials of all types,
both created by or acquired by the Library, including text, images, data,
audio-visual resources, Web pages, and ephemera.  Working closely with staff
in Library IT Core Services, Digital Library Production Services, the
Scholarly Publishing Office, Deep Blue, Preservation, and other library
units, the Digital Preservation Specialist will implement, monitor, and
maintain the digital preservation program.  The Digital Preservation
Librarian will assume a key role in the creation and development of a
trustworthy multi-institutional shared repository of digital resources.

* Assist in the ongoing development of requirements and specifications,
including formats and metadata, for digital material the library solicits,
accepts, or purchases into its collections, and advise both library staff
and external content creators on strategies and the practical implementation
of those specifications.

* Advise library staff and digital initiatives on all phases of the life
cycle of digital content with the aim of long-term retention and access;
provide training or orientations.  Represent and champion digital
preservation interests across the library, the university, and to the
community at large.

* Prepare proposals for external funding for digital preservation projects.
Prepare specifications for vended services that support the digital
preservation program; evaluate responses to proposals for such services and
make recommendations for selecting vendors; and act on behalf of the library
as a technical liaison on preservation issues to vendors providing digital
materials.  Represent the University Library in cooperative projects or
programs in digital preservation.

* Research and advise the library on contingency plans against threats to
the digital collections, such as industry changes to file formats, natural
disaster, and security breaches.

* Stay current on developing technologies, standards, and practice in
preservation of digital collections; recommend responses to these
developments through periodic alerts, summaries, reports, and revisions to
policies and procedures.  Represent the University Library in forums on
digital preservation at the campus, regional, national, or international
level.

Dear members of the community,

Each of you should have received an email today asking for your input  
on what are some of the key projects the Foundation should undertake,  
and how to best serve the DSpace community.  In less than 24 hours we  
have had over 150 responses to the survey, which is great!  However,  
we would like to get as much input as possible from current DSpace  
users.  So if you have not taken the survey yet, please look for the  
email in your inbox.

If for some reason you did not receive the email, let me know and we  
will send you a link.

Many thanks to everyone who has already participated!  We look forward  
to sharing the results with you when the survey is complete.

sincerely,
Michele Kimpton
DSpace Foundation Executive Director

Well, let me throw this out there. I'm on the hook for a half-day
Designing with Manakin workshop at the JA-SIG conference in April. I
can't possibly do both JA-SIG and JCDL, but I'm willing to consider
switching from JA-SIG to JCDL, especially considering that JA-SIG is
so close to Open Repositories that I've heard several DSpace people
say they can't make it.

What do folks think?

(Another JCDL possibility: Intro to DSpace in the morning, Designing
with Manakin in the afternoon. Scott? Tim? What say you?)
