Wij willen als vakgemeenschap aansluiten bij internationale debatten en communities. Wij zijn gebaat bij een zo groot mogelijke verspreiding, en zo min mogelijk drempels tussen onze onderzoeksresultaten en de gebruikers ervan.

It’s easy to stay up to date on changes in scholarly communications with News and More OA news on this website. But there are many additional resources to aid you and your colleagues:

 

Your Institutional Repository Manager

  • For universities: go to NARCIS and click on the name of a specific institution you will find information about the content of a repository, contact details, the used technology, and a link to the repository itself.
  • For universities of applied sciences: go to HBO Knowledge Base ('HBO Kennisbank') and click on the name of a specific institution you will find the contact details of the repository manager.

 

Your Library

Librarians have been leaders in the movement for expanded sharing of scholarship. Here are some of the many library resources available to you:

  • Meet with your department’s liaison in the library to get the facts behind scholarly communication issues.
  • Each university library has a 'Auteursrechten Informatiepunt' you can contact for advise on how to deal with your author rights in order to obtain greater reach for your research.

Websites

Several organizations’ websites offer a wealth of information on the movement for expanded sharing of scholarship:

  • Information about Dutch initiatives at SURFshare, a programme about Open Access and scholarly communication.
  • SURFdirect offers a website on copyright in higher education with guidelines, tools and information about Digital Rights
  • The Association of Research Libraries - Office of Scholarly Communication (ARL/OSC) seeks to promote innovative, creative, and affordable ways of sharing scholarly findings, particularly through championing new electronic techniques for recording and disseminating academic and research scholarship. ARL/OSC has a useful list of links to instances of faculty speaking out about scholarly communication issues.
  • The Association of College and Research Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Toolkit is designed to provide information on scholarly communication issues for faculty, academic administrators, librarians, and other campus stakeholders. It summarizes key issues, giving readers quick, basic information on scholarly communication topics.
  • The SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) website offers a wide range of information and resources on public access advocacy, open access publishing, institutional repositories, and more.
  • Unesco's Global Open Access Portal (GOAP) presents a current snapshot of the status of Open Access to scientific information around the world. The portal is designed to provide the necessary information for policy-makers to learn about the global OA environment and to view their country’s status, and understand where and why Open Access has been most successful. As such the portal provides a clear overview of the framework surrounding Open Access in Netherlands, as one of the UNESCO Member States.

Blogs

Peter Suber's blog Open Access News was a worthwhile scholarly communication blog, but has ended (April 2010). He now uses Google+ as a blog substitute. Libraries and librarians have created other excellent blogs on the topic. These are some good examples:

 

Discussion lists

Short video's

On YouTube several short video's are published which promote the understanding of open access, sometimes in a humorous manner.
