1. Repositories in a post-Finch world: the view from Oxford Sally Rumsey The Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford

2. The way we were Running on a shoe string IR “nice to have” Mandate for theses Base level service – building up ORA-Symplectic connector Working towards better technical tools and services Integrating research outputs [‘Author ID’] project – To provide a full and re-usable record of publications by Oxford academics and researchers

3. Facts and figures Calculating the impact of Finch Alma Swan: cost to research intensive HEIs Numbers of papers p.a. Cost of APCs Impact of unilateral approach Hybrid journals Impact

4. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.as p?storycode=420392 Prof Ian Walmsley, PVC (Research), University of Oxford interviewed for Times Higher Education, 28 June 2012 Professor Walmsley said the professional society publishers he had worked with considered green open access with a 12-month embargo to be "perfectly acceptable". He was unconvinced that universal gold open access would be a significant advance Professor Walmsley said that in the worst-case scenario, full gold open access could see the University of Oxford's expenditure on publishing rise by a "staggering" 350 per cent. Costs for top universities would be exacerbated by the particularly high article fees charged by the high-prestige journals in which their researchers typically publish, he added. "The increased costs accruing to UK researchers will likely have to be borne at the expense of research itself, but the cost-benefit ratio of this has not been assessed,"

6. Oxford reaction to RCUK policy Focused minds Not anti-gold Costs of gold The University is seeking to emphasise Green OA Academic concerns Many outstanding questions ORA suddenly takes centre stage

7. My reaction as an IR manager Time Value for money Although a mixed economy proposed, no support for repositories Effect on APCs “It’s not easy being green” (Kermit, circa 1978)

8. OA@Oxford programme Multi-agency initiative Academic Divisions Humanities Medical Sciences Mathematical, Physical & Life Sciences Social Sciences

9. Response to current RCUK/BIS funding Seconded 50% to manage the programme Timing Programme comprises 10 interrelated projects Focus on green at this stage OA website as a placeholder – http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/researchsupport/awards/ openaccess/ Preparation for 1 st April: – Policy – Training and information – Systems and services – Gold preparation

10. 3/10 Primarily repository focused projects 1.OA publications dissemination support project – Adding more full text 2.Integrating research outputs data project (the existing ‘Author ID’ project) – More and better metadata 3.ORA enhancement project Tasks that will be tackled include: – data cleaning for improved search and data delivery, – improved deposit workflows and interfaces – improved reviewer and administrator interfaces – Citation style support

11. Conclusion: Taking the long view Roles for the libraries Predict some time to settle down ‘The pathway’ to Open Access is not a smooth one.’ [League of European Research Universities Roadmap Towards Open Access] Academics’ concerns need to be addressed Non-funded research & monographs The University Of Oxford is committed to the widest possible dissemination of its research Positive overall for OA but the route might change
