![]() Other libraries report librarians being listed as responsible for billing/invoice Others: confusion about "UC Libraries" is common. People put her name personally for publisher invoicing! Regular source of confusion: OSC, CDL, UC Libraries = not the UCSD library. Many other librarians are happy to just forward questions rather than trying to answer themselves. It does take up a lot of time, and pulls away from other priorities. She does have other folks who are knowledgeable, responsive in their subject areas sometimes, but most of the expectation for responding is on her. People are always in a time crunch and desperate. Many people won't deposit green if their work is already available OA on publisher site.Īllegra S., UCSD: Also has canned responses, also only helpful up to a point. Related issue: authors knowledge and distinction between green and gold. Should mention that CC licenses are irrevocable. Re: a short skimmable answer to the license selection question - should cover both UC use case and general info since others find the site. We're spreading that among 3 or 4 people, and relying heavily on centrally available resources. RS: we don't have a schol comm officer, and aren't getting one any time soon. Something to point them to would be good. Rachel S., UCR: do you think people read the Plan S blog post about CC licenses? AT: hard to say, but skimming might help. ML: we have so many agreements now people almost expect that there's a TA that helps, disappointed when there isn't. Questions about array of intersections with other things like funder policies.įrom the chat: adding to the complicated landscape: all the changes to agreements, to author agreements, CC license implications, TA-excluded publications. Numbers of questions about CC license choice is rising. We also get questions about publishers there aren't agreements with. ![]() UCSF also has a fund, which led to that staff needing to know about the agreements. Have some more people answering questions now (from access services?), through help email, because of that concern about lead person being gone. But it's an area where it's tough to step into because of complexity and variation with agreements. ![]() What happens when that person is out and a time-sensitive question comes in?Īnneliese T., UCSF: AT was the main contact, with Peggy as backup. ML: another question - at many campuses only one person knows about these agreements. Mark: this info is very helpful for informing the upcoming PTWG retreat - need to take into account the workload for campuses for deals like this. ![]() Don't see any change absent additional staffing, which is unlikely. Because of time demands, there are other things that get put on the back burner, like support for metrics and research impact. Very individualized answers to questions - have created template responses, but they require a lot of customization every time. There's a lot of troubleshooting, also a lot of work related to campus open access fund (and confusion between that fund and transformative agreements). Michael L, Davis: ML spends a lot of time with agreements, a lot with outreach. See Michael's staffing overlap table in Google Drive. Many of the transformative agreement liaisons are in this group. How can schol-comm librarians on the ground (us) both leverage the assistance, information, resources we get from these groups, and also productively raise issues or suggestions about our experiences?.OSC's proposed working group to create Open Access pathways “cheat sheets” and resources for faculty.Transformative Agreements Implementation Group (TAIG).Project TRANSFORM Working Group (PTWG) as well as newly-created Communications and Author Outreach Team.There are several different groups that are responsible for TA implementation and communication:.What are common challenges (and potential recommendations) that we experience, and how to communicate impact of this ongoing workload?.Updates from campuses: How are you dealing with staffing/capacity in answering questions and providing outreach to faculty & researchers?.Transformative agreements & impacts on campus library staff We are looking for a new SCCKG co-chair starting in July 2023!
