<p class="MsoNormal">Journals come in a variety of “flavors” with regard to open
access. As a result, those hybrid publications present their own challenges
with regard to collection development and collection management. For most
librarians, that challenge is closely related with one in an adjacent space --
compliance with funder mandates. There is an obligation to ensure that funded
research materials are made available to the public present; that, in turn,
presents its own set of issues. If you and your colleagues are wrestling with
either or both of these issues, set aside time next month to participate in <b><i>Managing
an Open Access World</i></b>, a two-part webinar from NISO! <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can register for one session as a stand-alone or for
both at a package rate. Unavailable at the specified dates and times? Don’t
forget that access to the archived recording of the event is included in the
registration fee.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>NISO Two Part
Webinar: Managing an Open Access World, September 7 & 14<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>1:00pm – 2:30pm
(Eastern)<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As Open Access has proven itself a viable business model in
the marketplace of journals, institutions are beginning to grapple with the
implications and ramifications of its success. This includes the practicalities
of how to manage acquisitions in a hybrid open access environment, dealing with
discovery implications of open access, and institutional compliance with funder
mandates. This two-part series will explore the practical issues of a world in
which open access becomes the norm for some segment of scholarly
communications.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Part 1: Open Access
and Acquisitions, 1:00-2:30pm, Wednesday, September 7<span></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first part of this miniseries will focus on the
implications of open access on content acquisition. What are the impacts of
hybrid open access on publisher pricing at a title or collection level? Is there a tipping point where open access
availability of a portion of a title’s content will change the calculus about
acquiring a title for one’s collection?
How do we keep track of the increasing number of open access titles and
the increasing amount of hybrid open access content at a journal level?
Presenters will cover these questions as well as provide information on
research to explore these issues.<span></span></p>

Emery</b>, Collection Development Librarian, Portland State University; <b>Allyson Rodriguez</b>, Strategic
Collections Librarian, University of North Texas; <b>Chris Bulock</b>, Collection Coordinator for Electronic Resource
Management, California State University – Northridge.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Part 2: Compliance
With Funder Mandates, 1:00-2:30pm, Wednesday, September 14<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/sep14_webinar/">http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/webinars/sep14_webinar/</a><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second part of this miniseries will examine how
institutions address compliance requirements of funder mandates. As more and
more funding bodies adopt mandates for open distribution of content, at many
universities the tracking of this compliance is falling on the library directly
or in support of research offices. Are
there ways to automate compliance tracking and strategies for improving
compliance? This session will explore progress being made by initiatives to
gather and disseminate open access compliance, as well as the perspective of
funders who are requiring this information.<span></span></p>
