Item Open Access COPYRIGHT AND PUBLICATIONS FOR THE DIGITAL FUTURE: A GLOBAL VIEW OF LAWS, ACCESS AND PRACTICE(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Voigts, MatthewThis presentation highlights recent copyright and licensing-related challenges and opportunities related to digital access with examples from around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic urgently brought to the forefront longstanding issues with digital access, which – in addition to infrastructure factors - include copyright laws and licensing contracts most applicable to physical media, private consumers and in-person teaching. These contributed to issues libraries faced in providing access to their collections even as they explored innovative digital lending and information sharing solutions. As we look toward the future, and legal cases work their way through courts in America and elsewhere related to eBook pricing and digitized collections, the capacity to lend and disseminate knowledge remains bolstered by open access policies and copyright laws designed for digital lending with flexibility toward developing technologies.Item Open Access GOOGLE IT! MAKING SENSE OF INFORMATION LITERACY AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-28) Colet, PaoloWhen it comes to looking up for information, many people turn to Google. After all, Google is the most popular search engine worldwide and it houses an enormous amount of data. In this context, information literacy is crucial. Literacy in the information age means having access to and competence in evaluating information. It involves critical thinking skills and the ability to assess the reliability of sources or databases. Yet, it does not stop in there because evidence-based practice is another key concept in information literacy. The process of basing one's choices on the available data is what this term alludes to. Coming from the health sector, this is critical, as it impacts the consumers of healthcare services and, to some extent, the population's health. Bridging the gap is the collaboration between information scientist and health practitioner.Item Open Access KNOWLEDGE IS NO LONGER SHELVED: “OPENESS” OF THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES IN CZECH REPUBLIC(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Alenzuela, Reysa C.Scientists and scholars, as a tradition of scholarship, publish their research free of charge for the main reason of sharing the output of their scholarly endeavors. This presentation summarizes the current open access initiatives of the Oriental Institute of the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. It describes the recent projects which are made freely available in virtual spaces as evidence of the institute's commitment to open access. As libraries' emerging role is to support their institutions' research, this presentation will further answer how and where the library and librarians fit in the framework.Item Open Access NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBRARIES OPEN SOURCE & OPEN ACCESS SOFTWARE AND DIGITAL SCHOLARLY ECOSYSTEMS(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-28) Uzwyshyn, RaymondLeading University research libraries and institutions around the globe have begun to place academic research online through open digital ecosystems.

Libraries and information centers were at the forefront of providing and advocating free access as well as addressing the permission barrier, taking the role of designers, promoters, and maintainers of IR. Librarians and information professionals have to address the challenges between journal subscriptions, pricing crises, article processing charges for authors, predatory publishing, plagiarism, reproducibility, ethics, and scholarly communication with the open access movement. This paper will share some insights into issues we encounter as we advocate this movement. A review of the literature and news articles related to open access, institutional repository, and reproducibility was conducted. A particular case study of a library advocating open access through establishing an IR and its use of the Request Copy Button will be presented. How it provided access to publicly funded research will be highlighted. Lastly, the perceived roles of librarians and information professionals in open science will be discussed.Item Open Access OPEN ACCESS DATA RESEARCH REPOSITORIES FROM DATA AND RESEARCH ECOSYSTEMS TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DISCOVERY(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Uzwyshyn, RaymondData research repositories allow sharing and archiving of research data for global research. Libraries open this sharing of data to modern metadata and interoperability for search, retrieval, and larger possibilities of global scholarly research ecosystems. Data research repositories are being leveraged to accelerate global research, promote international collaboration, and innovate on levels previously thought impossible. They link data to further content from online publications to multimedia digital communication and aggregation tools. This article pragmatically overviews a data and content-centered ecosystem and then discusses the ecosystem's next level of possibilities. This involves questions of big data and AI infrastructures for \enabling researchers towards Deep Learning (Neural Net) possibilities. These new areas show large promise in making good use of online open data repositories, digital library ecosystems and online datasets Recent AI research also highlights the utility of several available online open-source digital library data repository and ecosystem components. An online data-centered research ecosystem accelerates open science, research and discovery on global levels. This open-source ecosystem and software infrastructure may be easily replicated by research institutions and universities globally.Item Open Access OPEN ACCESS AND OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN KYRGYZSTAN: DEVELOPMENTS AND PERSPECTIVES(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-28) Bekbalaeva, JyldyzThe presentation will provide an overview of the development of Open Access (OA) and Open Educational Resources (OER) in Kyrgyzstan.

Open Access to scientific output has tremendously increased the R&D process during the Covid 19 pandemic whereby we have witnessed the fastest ever development of a vaccine against any health menace in the history of the world. The main theme of this year's International Open Access Week, "Open for Climate Justice", aims to stimulate cooperation and collaboration in the climate change research community so that the consequences of the looming climate crisis can be prevented before it is too late. In this presentation, I will summarize the recent developments in the Open Access domain and underline the current issues that the Library and Information Science (LIS) community is facing nowadays. More specifically, I will address the issue of transformative agreements and point out some of the open questions such as the widening equity gap with regard to access to scientific information across the globe.Item Open Access READY, SET, ACTION! ENOEL LIBRARIANS AT THE CROSSWAY OF OPEN EDUCATION(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Corti, PaolaPresentation is about Open education, ENOEL Librarians and open educational resourcesItem Open Access REFLECTIONS & DIRECTIONS ON SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATIONS: A LIBRARY LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Smith, Carol E.Scholarly communications is far from a new discipline, yet its rise as a defined specialization for librarians has taken off dramatically over the course of just the past decade. This rapid and fairly recent expansion of scholarly communications as a strategic area of focus has introduced both fresh opportunities and new challenges for academic library leaders. The purpose of this paper is to provide a broad overview of the past, current, and future scholarly communications landscape from the distinctive perspective of an academic research library director. Topics covered include a broad review of the development of scholarly communications as a library specialization in recent years and the associated efforts that library leaders have undertaken during this period to initially educate themselves; to then foster enhanced understanding across library faculty, library staff, and the broader institution as to its purpose, strategic role, and place alongside more traditional and readily recognized library services; and to effectively integrate scholarly communications within an existing library organizational structure. As an adherent of the New Librarianship framework, this library leader also briefly considers how scholarly communications directly contributes to the user’s understanding of libraries as community platforms for improving society by facilitating knowledge creation. The paper then addresses the challenges of justifying dedicated scholarly communications roles in modestly sized academic libraries; attracting, managing, and retaining new scholarly communications talent; scaling scholarly communications services over time; establishing and managing campus expectations; and successfully advocating for a gradual expansion of scholarly communications teams to ensure that services remain successful and not strained beyond a team’s capacity to effectively deliver them. New and ongoing opportunities for academic library leaders include a broad reinvigoration of library strategic goals; a fresh institutional understanding of the library mission; cultivation of the growing recognition of librarians as fully integrated academic partners in the teaching and learning enterprise and across the entire research lifecycle; and powerful opportunities to contribute to the accessibility of higher education for all students. Looking ahead, this library leader then anticipates emerging trends with implications for library leadership, such as the growing need to interweave aspects of scholarly communications across all library operations.Item Open Access RESEARCH DATA SUPPORT AT UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON: A CASE STUDY(Nazarbayev University library, 2022-10-27) Cook, Cameron; Patiño, JenniferThis brief case study will introduce the research data sharing and compliance landscape in the United States and the ways in which the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries are responding to it through their local research data support services.
