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.
It is impossible to imagine the future of academic libraries
without an extensive consideration of open access-the removal of
price and permission barriers from scholarly research online. As
textbook and journal subscription prices continue to rise,
improvements in technology make online dissemination of scholarship
less expensive, and faculty recognize the practical and
philosophical appeal of making their work available to wider
audiences. As a consequences, libraries have begun to consider a
wide variety of open access "flavors" and business models. These
new possibilities have significant impact on both library services
and collection policies, and the call for new skills within library
staffing. Volume 9 of the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic
Library is the first of two addressing the topic of open access in
academic libraries and focuses on policy and infrastructure for
libraries that wish to provide leadership on their campus in the
transition to more open forms of scholarship. Chapters in the book
discuss how to make the case for open access on campus, as well as
the political and policy implications of libraries that themselves
want to become publishing entities. Infrastructure issues are also
addressed including metadata standards and research management
services. Also considered here is how interlibrary loan,
preservation and the library's role in providing textbooks, support
the concept of open access. 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.

The day after the deadly shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School the rallying cry heard across the country was "no-more
school shootings!" It was clearly evident that school shootings are
increasing and reactive measures are not going to change this.
Images from Parkland, Sandy Hook, and Columbine made it ever so
clear that whereas the atrocities caught our attention, schools are
still soft targets. There are no manuals from the United States
Department of Education to turn to for guidance to secure schools.
No guidance on how to train administration and staff, as they truly
are the first responders in such an event. Rather than wait for the
heads of the federal and state education departments to step up and
take-action, the time has come for all school leaders and
administrators to take the step to protect their school
communities. This book will help school leaders and administrators
proactively take action to protect their school communities and yet
still maintain a warm and nurturing learning environment.

From researching to remixing, library users need your guidance on a
wide range of copyright topics. The way to move beyond “yes, you
can” or “no, you can’t” is to become a copyright coach. In
this collection librarian and attorney Smith teams up with
information literacy expert Ellis to offer a framework for coaching
copyright, empowering users to take a practical approach to
specific situations. Complete with in-depth case studies, this
collection provides valuable information rooted in pragmatic
techniques, including in-depth discussion of the five questions
that will help you clarify any copyright situation; storytelling
techniques to enliven copyright presentations, plus ways to use
music or YouTube to hook students into copyright topics; three
coaching scenarios that tie into ACRL’s Framework for Information
Literacy for Higher Education and bring real-world applications to
your library instruction; how-to guidance on leading mock
negotiations over real journal publishing agreements; a 90-minute
lesson plan on author rights for writers in a student journal; tips
for teaching instructional designers how to apply copyright and
fair use principles to course management systems; and an LIS
copyright course assessment model. This resource will help you
become a copyright coach by showing you how to discern the most
important issues in a situation, determine which questions you need
to ask, and give a response that is targeted to the specific need.
Kevin Cade is a man with the single most bizarre childhood ever
experienced. Orphaned in the wilderness at age eight, he and a
befriended bear cub find an alien clue to his future destiny. A
destiny which will take him to deeds of heroism and beyond; to
another world of beautifully constructed people who themselves have
been orphaned by their "makers," These find themselves facing an
extinction that only Cade can avert. His world, his people, his
destiny, ...and then there's Earth. How far can it go?

Copyright and other types of laws regulating intellectual property
create an increasing concern for contemporary scholarship. The
digital environment has created exciting new opportunities and
possibilities for scholars to work and distribute their work. But
these new opportunities also create issues that did not arise in
the analog world. Owning and Using Scholarship: An IP Handbook for
Teachers and Researchers attempts to demystify intellectual
property, and especially copyright law, for academic authors and
independent scholars who face these dilemmas. It also can serve as
a comprehensive resource for librarians who are asked to assist
with these new and challenging decisions. Throughout the book a
clear explanation of the law is coupled with concrete examples
drawn from actual issues encountered by scholars. This balance of
theoretical background and practical application is designed to
appeal to both those who want a quick discussion of potential
approaches and those who prefer to know ""why."" In addition to
applying this approach to copyright issues that arise for research
and teaching, the volume also discusses the options and obstacles
that confront authors wishing to publish their work in new
environment. Explanations and objective assessments of the
different options available for disseminating scholarship are
provided to assist authors and other creators in making their own
decisions about the best choice for them.
