Implementing the IUPUI Open Access Policy

This presentation was given at the 2016 Statewide Libraries Day Program at the IUPUI Campus Center. The event was held on May 20, 2016. This presentation took place from 9:00AM-9:50AM EST in Room 308 of the Campus Center. Speakers were Shannon Bahler, Lisa Calvert, and Jere Odell.On October 7, 2014, the IUPUI Faculty Council adopted an open access policy. The IUPUI faculty have retained their rights to the final manuscript of scholarly articles. The faculty have also given the library permission to archive these articles in the institutional repository, IUPUI ScholarWorks. As with most "Harvard-model" OA policies, faculty members are free to opt out at the article level without explanation. Likewise, waivers from the policy's rights retention clause are provided to any publisher that requires them. In this panel presentation we describe how the library has implemented this policy on the IUPUI campus. In specific we focus on four aspects of the policy implementation: 1) the outreach strategy; 2) the article identification/notification workflow; 3) the deposit workflow; and 4) the evolving role of liaisons in supporting the OA policy. Currently, the results of this multifaceted implementation strategy include: more than 1,400 new submissions to IUPUI ScholarWorks, increased compliance with federal public access policies, and more faculty interest in self-archiving
