Approve Minutes Approved II. III. Approve/revise Agenda One revision to agenda: addition of the UFOAP Recipient Survey Strategic Initiatives Reports Promotion of the IR: Christine. Update on Naming Contest List of submissions has been compiled Lela sent out a Google Poll to the ULC to help identify the top 5 names Most votes so far have gone to UF Digital Commons but this name will not work and will not make it to the next round of voting. Promotion of the UFOAP and Mid Term Report: Isabel and Christine Posted on the UFOAP staff guide: Judy is ready to submit to the deans and put on the library homepage Christine added some new graphs and charts making it nicely visual. UFOAP Survey Christine sent out a draft to the group asking for feedback Feedback deadline: Friday, 10/14/2011 Goal is to release the survey after OA week to capitalize on the OA buzz. Reason for the survey is to compile data to take to deans and provost to justify future funding. We want to know what the UFOAP means to the faculty member how it helped them with tenure, publishing, etc. Measuring value. Suggestion: Send survey to all applicants instead of just recipients in case there is something in our process we were unaware of that could be causing problems for applicants who weren t awarded. Other UFOAP Questions: How can applicants check if the publisher is reputable? Is there a prescreening process? Christine frequently gets s but there is no official process. Maybe this is something the group can develop There is definitely a clear list of application criteria on the UFOAP page.

2 Acquisitions and Cataloging: Tara. (Serial Acquisitions Report) Steve Carrico is investigating Serials Solutions (see Appendix A) Jay Wiese put together a report of the usage of Open Access ejournals (see Appendix B) Report (appendix B) shows: the number of open access ejournals provided average clicks and average PDF usage Jay constructed this report by call # but that yielded a very general approximation. Report is very general but it does show that these ejournals ARE being used. Isabel requested ideas on what kind of information we would want from future searches/reports like this. Note: Acquisition of OA ejournals is ad hoc, selectors place a GROVER ticket to have a title added. Serial Solutions is helping by preloading titles found in the DOAJ. Concern was brought up that sometimes HSCL users click through to articles via PubMed, publisher, etc., so will the Serial Solutions numbers be accurate of total usage? Sometimes users go directly to the publisher s site. Response: this report is a VERY broad look at usage. Copyright initiatives. Christine CITT tutorial Is complete and has been included into the faculty workshop for distance ed faculty. Christine is waiting on access to the files so that the tutorial can be linked to other Library Resources pages web, LibGuides, etc. It is a six part tutorial + slideshow + talk + list of resources. Jennifer offered to help embed information or work up a LibGuide once the files have been shared with Christine. Newspapers: the unblurring of syndicated material has stopped. Retrospective Scanning of Dissertations waiting for the General Counsel Office to approve. LibGuides + Creative Commons License General Counsel said that there are enough UF resources included in the Libraries LibGuides to begin posting Creative Commons licensing on the pages as long as noncommercial use is clearly stated. Recommended level: Attribution. Noncommercial. Share Alike Suggestion: talk to Peter McKay/Springshare to see if an Automatic CC logo can be toggled for all LibGuide pages.

5 APPENDIX A From: Carrico,Steven B Sent: Friday, October 07, :15 PM To: Ross,Christine Marie; Silver,Isabel D Subject: Title count & usage figures for OA ejournals Hi there, Iʹm attaching a word document with two charts: one with the title count for OA e journals offered by the UF Libraries, the other with a chart showing usage of the OA e journals offered by the UF Libraries. This data was put together by the talented Jay Wiese of our E Resources Unit in Acq. Using call number affiliations, Jay was able to determine some of the e journal college/disciplines/libraries that the journals support for research and teaching. ʺMultidisciplinaryʺ is the category we use to show journals that support research in cross or multiple disciplines. Much of this type of work (determining the college or subject that a journal supports) is approximated, as is the usage to a degree since we cannot determine exact figures for OA e journals being accessed directly from user to journal and not going through the UF Librariesʹ portal. Anyway, look it over and see if this might be of use or interest to you and your efforts promoting OA. If you have any questions, donʹt hesitate to ask. Steve

7 APPENDIX C From: Ross,Christine Marie Sent: Thursday, October 06, :44 PM To: Librarians Subject: Springer Open Journals Good afternoon Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with a representative from BioMed Central. During that meeting, I learned that our membership in BioMed Central entitles UF authors to a 15% reduction in the publication fee when publishing in Springer Open Journals. Springer Open, which was launched last year, currently publishes over 50 fully open access, peer reviewed STM journals. When advocating open access and the open access publishing fund to your departments, please include this information.
