- Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:05:58 +0900 (東京 (標準時))

    みなさま、

    標記が各種メーリングリスト等に投稿されていますので、ご覧になったかたも
    いらっしゃると存じますが転送します。紹介されているのは、冒頭とまとめに
    2つのキーノート講演ですが、この2つを読むとわかるように、機関リポジトリ
    の理念、実践については北米における状況はちょっと前の日本のそれに似てい
    るように思われます。オープンアクセス一般論への傾斜は、研究成果可視化論
    と研究成果社会還元論が中心になっているようです。ご参考まで。

    ヨーロッパではBerlin N(今年はBerlin 6でした)が、アメリカではSPARC
    Meeting(次回は2年後との噂もあるらしいですが)が定着するとすると、
    DRF200Xがアジア、日本で相当するものとなるのを見るのは楽しみです。

    Services, marketing and creativity are key to digital repository
    success
    Resources and presentations from recent SPARC repositories meeting now
    online

    Washington, DC -- December 18, 2008 -- Thought leaders and
    practitioners from higher education and beyond called on participants
    at the SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting in Baltimore on November
    17-18 to continue their digital repository development efforts and
    offered strategies for building on experience gained to date.

    In the opening keynote, John Wilbanks, who heads the Science Commons
    project at Creative Commons, pointed to the unique qualities of
    digital repositories, and the need to highlight their potential to
    serve the academic community in ways that other resources simply
    cannot. He encouraged universities to adopt open-access policies
    modeled after the one adopted by Harvard University earlier this year
    rather than inventing their own.

    He also acknowledged the challenge of getting academics to post
    materials in a digital repository. "There seems to be a disconnect
    between the discussion of people planning to share the information and
    the amount of information being shared," said Wilbanks. He suggested
    that more repository managers assist faculty in depositing their works
    and emphasize the prospect of making their scholarly research more
    visible.

    Bob Witeck, chief executive officer and founding partner of
    Witeck-Combs Communications Inc., pointed to the importance of smart
    marketing in getting digital repositories off the ground and valued by
    faculty. He encouraged librarians and repository managers to use plain
    language and vivid stories to communicate the impact of the open
    sharing of information. With the interconnected global market and
    economy in turmoil, now is the time to move the open access message
    with urgency, he said. These tight economic times, when people are
    trying to get more information with less money, may present the
    perfect storm of opportunity to make public research available for
    free online, said Witeck.

    By making digital repositories more visible and demonstrating their
    value to the public, universities can win needed support from
    taxpayers and communities, said David Shulenburger, Vice President for
    Academic Affairs, National Association of State Universities and
    Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), in the closing keynote of the meeting.

    The public is eager to have the fruits of the scholarship they funded
    available because they know the right information at the right place
    can change lives, he said. "The folks who pay our bills need to and
    want to know how those investments in the university are benefiting
    them. Unlike most other enterprises, universities do a lousy job of
    letting their investors know what they are getting from their
    investment." A well-populated digital repository should be promoted as
    a resource to citizens of state, Shulenburger said. "It's time to let
    the light of universities shine and allow digital repositories to
    entice additional funding," he concluded. Shulenburger's proposed
    seven steps for the continued advancement of digital repositories are
    now published on the meeting Web site.

    A summary of each keynote and every panel discussion, along with
    available podcasts, slides, and an invitation to online discussion,
    are now online through the SPARC Web site at
    http://www.arl.org/sparc/ir08.

    The SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008 meeting was made possible
    by the generous support of: Microsoft (Conference Sponsor); Berkeley
    Electronic Press, BioMed Central, DC Lab, and EPrints (breakfast and
    luncheon Sponsors); and seventeen coffee break and supporting sponsors
    (listed at http://www.arl.org/sparc/ir08).
