ItemAn Introduction to Open Educational Resources(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07) Cohen, Nadine ; Dimsdale, Denise ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, FredFrom Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “An Introduction to Open Educational Resources”. Textbook costs are too high, and getting higher. However, there is a growing movement in academia that could bring about free and shareable textbooks to all. Open Educational Resources, or OER’s are changing the way the educational material is created and distributed. In this program, hear academic authors and advocates explain how OER’s are created, adopted, and why they could change how students learn. Includes interviews with: Nicole Allen, SPARC; David Ernst, University of Minnesota; Quill West, Pierce College; Steve Kraftchick, Emory University; Jennifer McGee, Emory Oxford College; Deanna Cozart, University of Georgia; Brian Dotts, University of Georgia.

ItemOpen Access: Generation Open(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-12) Burtle, Laura ; Burright, Mariann ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Melton, Sarah ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, FredFrom Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “Open Access: Generation Open”. Open Access is a movement to make academic research available for public access without restriction, and usually without reuse restrictions. Academics publish research for the good of their career, for the good of their chosen discipline, and for the good of the public at large. But too often, the public is not in a position to access the research that their tax dollars helped to produce. Copyrights to research are signed over to the private companies and societies, and they sit behind paywalls online, inaccessible to many who have need for it. Open Access is a means to expand the reach of published research, to take it out from behind paywalls and into the hands of the public. It’s a concern that many academics are starting to take seriously. For the next hour, we’re going to hear from early career academics, and find out what open access means to them. Includes interviews with: Erin McKiernan, Nick Shockey, John Drake, Ted Dallas, Roxanne Moore, Julian Stirling, Tony Fast, and Carrie Freeman.

ItemInformation Now: Open Access and the Public Good(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10-21) Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Rolando, Lizzy ; Rascoe, Fred ; Cohen, Dan ; George, Christine ; Watkins, Kari E. ; Suber, Peter ; Chang, MichaelEvery year, the international academic and research community dedicates a week in October to discuss, debate, and learn more about Open Access. Open Access in the academic sense refers to the free, immediate, and online access to the results of scholarly research, primarily academic, peer-reviewed journal articles. In the United States, the movement in support of Open Access has, in the last decade, been growing dramatically. Because of this growing interest in Open Access, a group of academic librarians from the Georgia Tech library, Wendy Hagenmaier (Digital Collections Archivist), Fred Rascoe (Scholarly Communication Librarian), and Lizzy Rolando (Research Data Librarian), got together to talk to folks in the thick of it, to try and unravel some of the different concerns and benefits of Open Access. But we didn’t just want to talk about Open Access for journal articles – we wanted to examine more broadly what it means to be “open”, what is open information, and what relationship open information has to the public good. In this podcast, we talk with different people who have seen and experienced open information and open access in practice. In the first act, Dan Cohen from the DPLA speaks about efforts to expand public access to archival and library collections. In the second, we’ll hear an argument from Christine George about why things sometimes need to be closed, if we want them to be open in the future. Third, Kari Watkins speaks about specific example of when a government agency decided, against legitimate concerns, to make transit data open, and why it worked for them. Fourth, Peter Suber from Harvard University will give us the background on the Open Access movement, some myths that have been dispelled, and why it is important for academic researchers to take the leap to make their research openly accessible. And finally, we’ll hear from Michael Chang, a researcher who did take that leap and helped start an Open Access journal, and why he sees openness in research as his obligation.
