Best of Core Forum: Organizing for Open: Aligning Organizational Structures
with Open Values

Date: Wednesday, April 24, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description:

Many academic libraries have a strong commitment to open scholarship
articulated in strategic planning goals, values statements, and policy
documents. These ideals exist next to a scholarly communication landscape
dominated by corporate publishers, paywalls and licensing agreements that
center subscriptions and title lists. Our organizational structures,
reflected in our budgets and org charts, are aligned to that closed world.
In the last several years, the amount of open content in the scholarly
publishing landscape has grown significantly. Most observers agree that
this trend will accelerate in the near future. We are at a moment when we
can consider significant change. How do we reorganize our structures to
align with our goals for open? How do we organize ourselves for success
when subscriptions and paywalls are de-centered? What positions do we need?
What investments must we make? How can we work together as a profession to
build the kind of open world we want? In our institution, we have been
asking these questions and working towards answers.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will be encouraged to think about how their institution is
supporting open scholarship and what changes they could make at various
levels of investment. Participants will take away strategies for starting
local conversations about large organizational change.

Who should attend?

This webinar is geared primarily toward folks in academic libraries and
other research library settings who might be considering high-level
strategies for collections, description, instruction, and scholarly
communications.
