Launch of Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians (OAWAL)
by Shamprasad Pujar 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Dear Members, FYI. Details available in the forwarded message. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai ----------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jill Emery <jill.emery(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 6:29 AM Subject: [DIGLIB] Launch of Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians (OAWAL) To: "diglib(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <diglib(a)infoserv.inist.fr> Given the rapid expansion of open access content both by commercial entities and academic institutions, Graham Stone, University of Huddersfield and Jill Emery, Portland State University have created a wiki/blog encapsulating the major building blocks of open access management in the academic library setting. The intention of OAWAL is that it will be an openly accessible wiki/blog site for librarians working on the management of open access content. We hope that librarians can build on OAWAL to create context sensitive workflows at their given institutions. We are crowdsourcing feedback from the scholarly communication community currently working with open access management to see if these concept overviews are of value and if there are others that should be included. You can find OAWAL at: https://library3.hud.ac.uk/blogs/oawal/ You can submit feedback to this project via the comments sections of the blog or directly via email to Graham Stone G.Stone(a)hud.ac.uk<mailto:G.Stone@hud.ac.uk> or Jill Emery Jill.Emery(a)gmail.com<mailto:Jill.Emery@gmail.com> We also encourage anyone who has existing workflows in place to share these with us in order to help build a repository of OA management examples. We will also be hosting roundtable discussions on this project at ER&L, if attending please join us for this discussion: Introducing OAWAL: crowdsourcing best practices for open access workflows in academic libraries. In: Electronic Resources & Libraries 2014, 16-19 March 2014, AT&T Conference Center Austin, Texas. We hope you find this wiki/blog helpful and we look forward to receiving your feedback. All the best, Graham & Jill -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] E-resource management with Koha - Implemented at UoM
by Mailing List Admin 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 22:01:10 +0100 From: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)googlemail.com> Dear Professionals, I appreciate Mr. V.K. Mishra*s suggestion of ERM using Koha. Yes, we can use Koha for giving access to E-books, with full texts being available at Publishers´ or local server. We at University of Mysore have implemented this idea 3 years back itself and have provided access to full texts of > 18,000 books of four publishers put together viz. Springer, T & F, Wiley and CRC Press. Please search UoM Library OPAC available at http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/ Each e-book is accessioned satisfying the audit requirements by using 4 letter prefix different for different publishers, say EBSP..... for Springer. This technique facilitates us to display all Springer book at one go by searching barcode in Advanced search. The main advantage of using LMS like Koha for this application is that one can search all e-books of all publishers including the OA books archived on local server. On the other hand if we depend only on publishers site, we will have to search for books on the subjects of our interest through as many servers as number of publishers, unless we license the access through Aggregators like e-brary. We have given access to full texts only through LAN of the Varsity including WiFi. But any body can reach Contents page of book of his/her choice. Full text access could be extended through remote access using interface like OCLC´s Ezproxy. Koha´s feature of displaying cover page makes this much more user friendly. All publishers are bound to make available the MARC records and the same could be part of our OPAC. Providing full text access to E-books is only a part of ERM. Koha is not a full pledged ERM System like ExLibris´s ALMA or EBSCO´s ERM. A combination of ILS and ERMS will make an ideal system to manage both Print and E-Resources including all house keeping activities and workflows. One day or the other we will have to adopt new system. But definitely KOHA is a wonderful OA-ILS system with many attractive features, which we can adopt easily by all school libraries to public libraries to university libraries, irrespective number of holdings. - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N.
