From institutional repositories and technical workflows to predatory initiatives, open access presents unique challenges for libraries. Small publishers face their own obstacles finding funding for OA and achieving the highest OA standards. This session will show how acknowledging these complexities leads the scholarly community to a richer dialogue about OA.

The session will touch on:

  • How to encourage scholars to participate in an OA Institutional Repository, identify IR gaps in subject areas, ensure access and discoverability in the IR, and discuss the difficulty of cataloging other OA e-resources.
  • Four case studies to examine some ethical dilemmas and unintended consequences of open access initiatives.
  • Variations in OA potential and funding among scholarly disciplines, the possibility of OA through TOME practices, and the ways in which current OA solutions replicate barriers to equity and inclusion
  • Technical obstacles small publishers face with OA discoverability and the partial solutions
