Could the University of Iowa Libraries save over $2 million from their subscriptions budget with a flip to open access?
The above headline is from Simon Fraser University doctoral candidate Heather Morrison's blog "The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics". The reason we lead with the above headline is because it is the first time we have seen a public suggestion of a post-commerical subscription only open access model for accessing published content at an academic institution.
Chances are an open-access subscription only model would not take place on a grand scale for many years, if ever, though it's hard to gauge what the future of scientific publishing will bring. Open access is not free, unless an outside source has fully funded a journal, which is a rarity, and even in that case the publication is not free. Publishing charges for open access content runs close to $1500 per article average. Some academic instituions have set up funds to cover these costs. Some publishers discount their publishing charges when a library becomes a "member" of their publishing organization.
The publishing models we see today are hundreds of years old...though it is in the last 30 years that the extreme profit margins which commercial publishers enjoy have strangled academic institutions and their libraries. This fact alone has fueled the push towards open access in the last five years. Therefore, the above headline is not necessarily too far fetched, though time and communication between all of the players in the creation of published knowledge will responsibly see through the next phases of how institutions meet the scientific content needs of their researchers.

Tellus About It!
Informing you of serials subscription changes for 2012
We annually inform the community of our serials changes for the New Year. This year’s changes are listed below. Because of MBL and WHOI level funding for 2012, the MBLWHOI Library conducted a comprehensive title survey of the needs of the Woods Hole Scientific Community during Spring 2011. The results of this survey combined with costs for journal titles and cost per use of each title enabled the Library senior staff to come to informed decisions which led to the cancelling of 58 journal titles due to extreme low use and high cost. This met our budget constraints obligations.
One of the titles cancelled (but picked up as a free title!) is worth note. The combined titles Tellus A and Tellus B had been published by the journals publisher Wiley. The owner of the journals, the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm has converted the journals to fully Open Access titles. Therefore we are no longer required to pay for a subscription to these titles, and content back to volume 1 is freely available. The publisher does charge a per page processing charge to authors though, and this charge is $69 per page (tables and figures excluded). This charge would make the cost for a 10 page paper far less than the standard open access publishing charge of $1300 per article. Last year another Nordic publication. Polar Research, went from commercial publisher to fully open access, without any publishing charges, so we can possibly assume that the financial climate in the Nordic region is comfortable enough to support such a reasonable seeming publishing model. We’ll continue to inform you of serials news throughout the year.

A WINTER REPORT FROM THE STACKS #1
We've been working in the stacks this winter, weeding the collection, or better descibed as identifying titles which are disused or digitally available online. We go through this process every six years or so...the last time was when we constucted our off-site library stacks facility at Falmouth Technology Park. There's a lot to see in the stacks, as the stacks well represent the histories of the Marine Biological Laboratory and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution through the literature of the times preceeding and through the founding of our institutions and the MBLWHOI Library.
We'll offer updates of what we find in this stacks over the course of the winter. Today we were measuring the linear inches taken up by journals in the stacks which are also available online through the JSTOR online archive. A few of these journals are: Journal of the History of Ideas, Journal of Infectious Diseases, and Journal of the Royal Geographic Society of London. Makes one appreciate a bit the breadth of subject matter covered by MBL and WHOI scientists over the years. In these present interdisciplinary times, an exploration of the stacks reveals that such interdisciplinary exploration has always been a part of Woods Hole Science.

INTERNATIONAL OPEN ACCESS WEEK
In June of 2007, the MBLWHOI library held it's first Open Access issue event when we invited BioMed Central Managing Editor Matthew Cockerill to run a seminar on open access for the Woods Hole scientific community. That successful event was attended by maybe a handful of scientists seeking to begin to learn about the open access publishing movement. At that time open access seemed very free and accessible to all. Open access is still in development, and the field of publishing is in great flux. Few things remain constant in publishing, for example BioMed Central is now a division of the publisher Springer, and a number of large interdisciplinary open access journals, such as PLoS one have sprung up in the last few years. Many people feel that this change is also part of a larger and powerful movement in science to bring down the walls which keep knowledge from being accessible to all.
On October 26, this week, the MBLWHOI library held an informal gathering in the WHOI Smith conference room, and we invited our Woods Hole WHOI, MBL, WHRC, and NOAA open access authors to attend.
About 50 published open access papers by these scientists were on display in the conference room, and the scientists attending, (which included WHOI Scientists Mark Hahn, Carl Bowin, and John Stegeman and MBL scientists Susan Huse and A. Murat Eren), had the opportunity to speak with each other and also MBLWHOI Library staff members (including Library Director Holly Miller, Center for Library and Informatics Adjunct faculty member Jane Maienschein, and Library Scholar Cathy Norton) about methods and rational used in making open access publishing decisions.
WHOI scientist/Director of the Marine Mammal Center there, Michael Moore, in conversation with MBLWHOI publishing services librarian Ann Devenish recently said:
"...the reason I try to publish Open Access is simply that I want the broadest possible impact for the work of my coauthors and myself. Publishing in journals that require a subscription for access to a paper limits one's impact to those individuals or institutions that happen to be paying that subscription. Often a very small number -especially if it is a society journal. In contrast, Open Access gives a level playing field for information access globally. Interactions that I have with colleagues in third world countries are significantly driven by papers that I have published in Open Access locations."
The MBLWHOI Library will continue to shed a Woods Hole scientific community wide light on open access developments, and how they impact the Woods Hole science community.

Polar Research is the international polar environmental science journal published by the Norwegian Polar Institute since 1982. In 2011 this journal left the commercial publishing house Wiley and re-launched itself as an electronic open access publication. The model being used for this journal is that there are no charges associated with publishing in this journal for authors or libraries. This publishing model is rare, and is due to full support of the journal from the Norwegian Polar Institute. The editor of the journal, Helle V. Goldman states:
"Publishing in Polar Research entails no author fees, and there are no charges for colour illustrations or supplemental material. Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license, allowing authors to distribute and post the final version of their work for any non-commercial purpose, under the condition that the original source is credited. Publishing in Polar Research makes it convenient for contributors and their institutions to comply with mandates requiring open access to the results of publicly funded research."

This week the scholarly journal archive platform JSTOR announced that it has decided to make all pre-1923 content on it's platform free to all users. By fact of US Copyright law, all US publications which are pre-1923 are indeed out of copyright, therefore it only makes sense that this electronic content be made freely accessible. If JSTOR out of copyright content is free to anyone, how does this compare to projects such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library of which the MBLWHOI Library and the Encyclopedia of Life are active partners. There are a number of comparisons which may be drawn between the two projects. First, all content in the BHL has the taxonomic name finding software uBio (developed by the MBLWHOI Library) applied to it - this powerful tool scans content to reveal scientific names and the synonyms of names throughout the history of the use of the term. Click on the name, and a broad bibliography of the term is produced. In JSTOR if you are looking at pre-1923 content and you wish to look at post-1923 content, you will indeed be shifting from freely accessible content to content which your library has paid a fee for. In the Biodiversity Heritage Library all content is freely accessible. When in-copyright content is displayed in the BHL it is because permission to serve the content has been obtained by BHL from the copyright holder, or the copyright holder has requested that the content be scanned and made freely accessible. Like the theory that 2 restaurants on the same block is good for business, it is significant and positive that JSTOR has released 6% of it's collection. The MBLWHOI Library and other components of the Center for Library and Informatics continue their work in the global BHL project, which just this week passed the milestone of 35,000,000 pages of scientific content freely available!
September 1, 2011
There's been a lot of buzz in the journals world of academic librarians this week with the publication of an article by the author George Montbiot entitled "The Lairds of Learning." This article, linked to here on Mr. Montbiot's website, is a stark portrait of the world of scientific publishing. Libraries of academic and research institutions are constantly faced with decisions regarding limited funding available to fill the literature requirements of our patrons. Our July 1 and August 5 postings below briefly discussed open access publications and freely accessible scientific content. The business of scientific publishing is in great flux, at every level of the creation and dissemination of knowledge.
August 5, 2011
Much of the collection of the MBLWHOI Library was grown over almost 125 years through the "scientific literature exchange program", which exchanged MBL's Biological Bulletin and WHOI's Oceanus publications with literally thousands of scientific publications from institutions all over the world. This program still exists with about 30 exchange partners nowadays, but the publishing landscape and scientific literature distribution process has changed dramatically in the last few decades. For example, both the Biological Bulletin and Oceanus are freely available publications (Biological Bulletin freely available online after 12 mos.)
In the last decade a few thousand exchange title relationships were cancelled, which saved the MBLWHOI Library thousands of dollars in spiraling subscription costs. There is a central European open access publisher associated with the commercial publishing house Springer which is named Versita. On this website you can read titles like Acta Botanica Croatica, and the Ukrainian title Vestnik Zoologii, titles which we long ago stopped receiving due to or pared down exchange title list. This is a full circle: titles first received via exchange, then we stopped receiving, some we scanned into the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), and now the titles are available as freely accessible open access titles. We will be re integrating these titles into our electronic library catalog over the next year.
August 1, 2011
We recently read in the library listserv Scholcomm, which discusses peer review and accessiblity
to data from the UK Parliament perspective:
The UK Parliament’s Science and Technology Committee has produced a Report on “Peer review in scientific publications” which, if the Committee’s recommendations are implemented, will initiate several positive developments for scholarly communication.
The Report – http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmsctech/856/85602.htm – examines the current peer review system thoroughly from different angles. Picking up on the importance of reproducibility of research results, the Committee recommend that “data associated with publicly funded research should, where possible, be made widely and freely available”. Also significant for scholarly communication in general, are the Committee’s “concerns about the use of journal Impact Factor as a proxy measure for the quality of individual articles”. Although recognising the value of peer review, the Committee expresses concerns about the way the peer review system currently operates and encourages the “prudent use of online tools for post-publication review and commentary as a means of supplementing pre-publication review”. The Committee sees pre-publication review as being effective for technical assessment but needing post-publication review for impact assessment, impact now being of high importance for research funders.
July 1, 2011
There is a great deal of interest in the research and library community about open access
publications. One just announced open access publication by the Genetics Society of America
is: G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics. The open access model of publication is just one
response from the publishing, library, funding, and research communities to address the decades long issue
of spiraling serials subscription costs. Open access is also an element of the global movement
within the academic community to make knowledge freely accessible whenever possible.
June 27, 2011
The MBLWHOI Library's partner project, the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) has
announced the release of Charles Darwin's Library, a Special Collection within
the BHL. Charles Darwin's Library is a digital edition and virtual reconstruction of the surviving
books owned by Charles Darwin. The MBLWHOI Library Rare Books Room is just one of many
libraries which have contributed scanned versions of their books to this collection.
June 22, 2011
The MBLWHOI Library has digitized close to 5 million pages in the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
In the 1920's the MBL summer newspaper was called The Collecting Net. Click here to read issues
of The Collecting Net through the BHL website.

The MBLWHOI Library has expanded online access to the title Nature.
Online access to Nature is now provided from the current issue back to 1950.
May 28. 2011
The Directory of Open Access Journals of Lund University has announced new functionality
on the DOAJ website, providing article level metadata to more journal titles.
DOAJ titles are accessible from the MBLWHOI Library A-Z list of journal titles
April 1. 2011
The MBLWHOI Library has just sent another load of about 250 volumes to the Internet Archive
Scanning facility for inclusion in the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). MBLWHOI has to date
contributed more than 4,700,000 pages to the BHL.

BioMed Central membership change effects open access publishing charges
The open access publisher BioMed Central publishes close to 200 journals, and they have published 8 MBL and WHOI authored articles in the last 12 months. As open access publishing (making journal content freely accessible to anyone) is still relatively new, the BioMed Central publishing model has continued to evolve:
1. In the first model a few years ago, MBLWHOI's membership in BioMed Central meant that a MBL or WHOI scientist could publish in a BMC journal without charges.
2. In the second BMC membership model, the MBLWHOI Library was able to cover assessed per-article charges of between $600 - $2300 per article by creating a deposit account with Library subscription funds. In 2008 these charges have increased exponentially outside the limits of the Library's budget.
This necessitates the current model explained here:
3. The MBLWHOI Library now pays an annual membership fee to BioMed Central, which no longer covers processing charges for articles accepted for publication (most libraries now follow this model)
If your article is now accepted for publication in a BMC journal, the Library's Supporter membership category in BMC provides that when you are charged article processing fees at a 15% discount off of regular fees. While this model is not ideal, it is the model our budget can now handle.
BHL Notes
Biodiversity Heritage Library scanned MBLWHOI volumes are now directly accessible through the MBLWHOI Library catalog. Close to 6 million pages have been scanned over the last year.
By searching for a journal or book title in the MBLWHOI Library catalog- many of the 6000+ of our volumes which have already been scanned for the BHL and EOL projects are now also directly accessible from the MBLWHOI Library catalog record.
The BHL platform also incorporates uBio species name finding tools, developed at MBL.
Book example:
Illustrated flora of the Northern United States, Canada and the British Possessions
Serial examples:
Canadian Field Naturalist
These examples represent a small sampling of the BHL holdings accessible through the MBLWHOI Library catalog. As this project develops, much of our pre 1923 holdings as well as copyright cleared titles from other years will be scanned and added to our catalog. Scanned holdings from the 10+ other libraries participating in the BHL project will also be added to our catalog, and migrated as well to a new version of our A-Z list of electronic holdings. This process will take place over time, thanks for your patience.

Recent serials platform enhancements/changes of note
The publisher Elsevier ScienceDirect has rolled out a number of new functionalities in journal article presentation. For example, a "cited by" feature is now in place.
-A new navigation pane on the search results page provides a view of the research output on a subject by year, by content type, or by journal/book titles with the most results. By using these filters you can refine your search results without having to return to the search form.
-A new article toolbox brings together all of the article-related functionality including 'Cited By', 'Download PDF', 'E-mail Article' and more, into one easy-to-find location.
-Being launched in phases: the integration of article comments and ratings from Elsevier's social collaboration site, 2collab will enable you to evaluate papers according to colleague-driven comments and ratings of articles right on the article page. ScienceDirect summarizes these features below:
http://www.info.sciencedirect.com/news/releases/
JSTOR new platform
JSTOR, the platform which provides much of our electronic archival serials access has released a new platform with new functionality- the most important feature to note (not necessarily the best feature) is that when you save citations, you need to create a username and password in order to do so.
All of the JSTOR changes are summarized here:
