1. Accelerate the development and adoption of tools, resources, and cultures that make campuses less reliant on subscriptions to access content
|
1a. Usage of our ILL tools at 30 institutions.
1b. Rapid prototypes, alpha’s and feedback from institutions for key elements of GetPDF and InstantILL.
1c. The citation of our tools to help campuses access content, and reduce reliance on subscriptions.
|
1d. Beta releases for ILL tools. Adoption by 60 institutions.
1e. Beta releases for GetPDF and InstantILL on 10 campuses.
|
2. Accelerate the development and adoption of tools, resources, and cultures that enable dramatic growth of self-archiving
|
2a. Sharing 6 experiments, creation of internal and external resources for better self-archiving and technical improvements to the request system.
2b. Rapid prototypes, alpha’s and feedback from institutions for how to integrate self-archiving requests into ILL.
2c. It is 5 times more scalable than our current system, 1.5 times more effective, and
2d. We see emerging practice in ILL of making requests.
|
2e. Sharing 6 experiments, creation of internal and external resources for better self-archiving and technical improvements to the request system.
2f. Integration of requests for Open Access into production ILL tools. Usage at 20 institutions.
2g. Establish the Open Access Button request system as a modern (i.e citable, automated, effective and timely), state of the art, mechanism for making research outputs (primarily articles) available.
2h. It is 10 times more scalable than our current system, two times more effective, and we see strong emerging practice in ILL of making requests.
|
3. Accelerating open, community-owned structures to sustain these efforts.
|
3a. Pilot, with ~15 institutions, the Open Access Button’s membership model with institutions.
3b. Advisory board created. Successful contact with key collaborators.
|
