This volume, the second of two in the series Creating the
21st-Century Academic Library that deals with the topic of open
access in academic libraries, focuses on the implementation of open
access in academic libraries. Chapters on the legalities and
practicalities of open access in academic libraries address the
issues associated with copyright, licensing, and intellectual
property and include support for courses that require open access
distribution of student work. The topic of library services in
support of open access is explored, including the library's role in
providing open educational resources, and as an ally and driver of
their adoption, for example, by helping defray author fees that are
required for open access articles. A detailed look at open access
in the context of undergraduate research is provided and considers
how librarians can engage undergraduates in conversations about
open access. Chapters consider ways to engage undergraduate
students in the use, understanding, evaluation, and creation of
open access resources. Issues that are of concern to graduate
students are also given some attention and central to these are the
development of Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) programs. A
chapter examines the library's role in balancing greater access to
graduate student work with the consequences of openness, such as
concerns about book contracts and sales, plagiarism, and changes in
scholarly research and production. The book concludes with issues
surrounding open data and library services in critical data
librarianship, including advocacy, preservation, and instruction.
It is hoped that this volume, and the series in general, will be a
valuable and exciting addition to the discussions and planning
surrounding the future directions, services, and careers in the
21st-century academic library.
