[Open-access] Open Access resources

[Douglas Carnall]

Hi Michelle,

You (and everyone else) are very welcome to help themselves to my tagged
public bookmarks collection on open access:

https://pinboard.in/u:juliusbeezer/t:openaccess

Naturally it's a somewhat idiosyncratically personal collection but feel
free to plunder. I've written a short blogpost introducing the collection
here:

Regards to all,

D.

> Hey all,
>
> *Summary - I'm looking for engaging open access resources for non experts,
> especially those aimed at humanities and social sciences. Can you help
> <https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/12aPoB2VKoF7vkWN4gEm1hDzGnYaEU-bOYak4zrazEOA/edit#>? *
>
> I'm looking for open access resources which are engaging, and can help
> convince a sceptical academic audience about why they should support open
> access and care about academic publishing. These will go up on a couple of
> websites, including the Open Access Working Group, and a upcoming site
> targeted at engaging those who don't spend their life thinking about
> scholarly publication.
>
> I've been looking but I keep getting stuck. Much of what I find is rather
> dense, contains confusing language etc. I was hoping members of the working
> group might know of further examples/ideas.
>
> We are looking for materials that target humanities and social scientists,
> as well as scientists. These might be videos, flyers, posters, or
> slidedecks for talks that have been given (with appropriate licenses). I've
> been starting to collect these here:
> https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/document/d/12aPoB2VKoF7vkWN4gEm1hDzGnYaEU-bOYak4zrazEOA/edit#
>
> Any ideas *really* gratefully received. I'm sure lots of people on this
> mailing list know of resources they use when talking to academics about
> this issue.
>
> I'm also looking to understand what resources haven't been created, and
> what other gaps there are. What do people think they really could use for
> advocacy work? Again there is space for this on the spreadsheet - or feel
> free to ping me an email separately.
>
> For the time being, I'm mainly looking for resources in English. If you
> know of any interesting non-English resources, feel free to add them, but
> there will be a specific call for these in a few months time.
>
> If anyone has a problem with using Google Docs, let me know and I'll ping
> you across a .odt version of the document.
>
> Best,
> Michelle
