UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Access q Berlin Declaration and Budapest Open Access Initiative underpin developments q http: //oa. mpg. de/openaccess-berlin/berlindeclaration. html q http: //www. soros. org/openaccess/ q Open Access means that: q The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. Primarily, this category encompasses their peer-reviewed journal articles, but it also includes any unreviewed preprints that they might wish to put online for comment or to alert colleagues to important research findings. (Budapest Open Access Initiative) 10
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Berlin Declaration q Open access contributions must satisfy two conditions q The author(s) and right holder(s) of such contributions grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship (community standards, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now), as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use. q A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in an appropriate standard electronic format is deposited (and thus published) in at least one online repository using suitable technical standards (such as the Open Archive definitions) that is supported and maintained by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, inter operability, and long-term archiving. 11

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Conclusions? q European research-led universities have an agenda: q to investigate if they can embrace a role as disseminators, aggregators and publishers q to look at repositories and open access as tools which can help them achieve these ends q to add value to the dissemination process qparticularly in terms of institutionally-produced content q to identify whether their efforts are sustainable in the long-term 34
