CERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI6)
University of Geneva
The workshop will follow the successful format of previous workshops mixing practical tutorials, presentations from cutting-edge projects and research, discussion groups, posters, and an intense social programme to maximise interaction and communication. It will be possible to register for a part or all of the programme.
The workshop is aimed at those involved in the development of openaccess (OA) repositories and who can influence the direction of developments either within their institution, their country or at an international level - that includes technical developers of OA bibliographic databases and connected services, research information policy developers at university or library level, funding bodies concerned with access to the results of their research, OA publishers,and influential researchers keen to lead OA developments in their own field.
Previous workshops have built a strong community spirit and the event is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and contact details with the wide range of people connected to the OA movement. The OAI series of workshops is one of the biggest international meetings in this field and takes place roughly every two years.

BREAKOUT SESION ON DIGITIZING OLD MATERIAL
-
About 10 participants, including representatives from ITU, Geneva University, Uni-Frascati, Uni-Fribourg, CERN
-
Frascati has done massive scanning of old preprints but is wondering how to exploit them now.
Discussions about the need for IR versus simply depositing the files to ArXiv SR. CERN position is that the production of the laboratory has to be kept/archived on site in the IR, and also pushed for dissemination to SR. -
Proposal to share all the scanning experience done by the various libraries on a Twiki page.
-
Cost discussion:
-
the newspaper "Le Temps" has scanned all its past issues with very good results
at a price that is more than half less than the usual proposals.
To be followed up with ITU who reported about this experience.
-
It was also pointed out that these scanning projects should always be prepared well in advance, to be "ready" - as they are often considered as low priority but they can easily fill in the 'end-of-the-year' reserve budgets.
-
-
Books cover: ITU reported about using OCLC book covers instead of Amazon, because they have more rights for copying the icons, etc.
-
Google Book:
discussions on being able to fulltext search only within a subset of Google Book corresponding to the library holdings; option of using Google APIs - but careful reading of the terms of conditions is required. It turns out (after the workshop) that this option is not allowed.
It was also reported that Google Book only scan material coming from publishers and not from libraries.
Scanned files in pdf are in any cases not provided back to the publishers.
