Abstract
Description
Why does Temple University Libraries support open access? Equitable and open access to knowledge benefits not just Temple faculty and students, but people across the globe. Funding open access (OA) publishing initiatives has many local benefits, including the availability of more content for our community, and tangible support for faculty publishing. These initiatives even have the potential to save the Libraries money. However, the primary reason the Libraries fund open publishing initiatives is to help fundamentally change the scholarly communications landscape. Although there are many ways that Temple University Libraries can and does advance open publishing—including through our institutional repository, TUScholarShare, and through our library publishing program—the goal of this report is to specifically explore how the Libraries might more strategically use the collections budget to help make open publishing the norm both in the United States and around the world. The report examines three types of open access publishing initiatives: transformative agreements, open access publishing funds, and collaborative/crowdsourced funding programs.
