1. Facilitating open science at Florida State University Libraries
Presented for the IFLA Satellite Meeting on Library Services for Open Science
Renaine Julian - Director of STEM Libraries, Florida State University Libraries

2. Overview Empowering open through organizational change
Advancing open science through collaborative partnerships
Establishing an ethos of open: challenges and strategies
We we’re at and where we’re going

3. Open Science
Open science is the movement to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional.
Open science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks
Woelfle, M.; Olliaro, P.; Todd, M. H. (2011). "Open science is a research accelerator". Nature Chemistry. 3 (10): 745– 748. doi: /nchem.1149

4. Goals
To provide an overview of how FSU Libraries is working to advance open science
To give an honest account of our experiences and challenges
To start a discussion around shared obstacles to advancing open science

5. Organizational Change
Existing organization:
Undergraduate Services/Learning Commons
Graduate and Faculty Services/Scholars Commons
STEM Libraries
New Model
Teaching ,Learning and Engagement
Access and User Services
Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities

6. Results The results: New STEM Libraries model
Consolidated access services department
Increased specialization in portfolio of STEM and SSAH units
New STEM Libraries model
Outreach and engagement as significant part of job description
Focus on providing library services to scholars.
Bringing the library to the lab

7. How does this advance open science?
Now what?
How does this advance open science?
Creating space to pursue new library initiatives
STEM librarians thinking beyond meeting the immediate needs of scholars
New focus on outreach and engagement

8. Establishing a culture of openness
Existing culture
Early open initiatives
Digital Research and Scholarship (DRS)
Advocating for open
Department meetings
Faculty interactions
Leading by example
Commitment to OA
Using open tools
Scholarly Communication Librarian and STEM Data and Research Librarian deliver a webinar related to providing data management services in 2016

9. Challenges and strategies
Increased capacity in time and schedule quickly filled
Not everyone enters librarianship for the same reasons
Pressure to meet demands from faculty and students
Faculty preference toward proprietary tools and workflows
Strategies for success
Lead by example
Meet your team in the middle
Communicate expectations clearly

10. Collaborative Partnerships
Collaboration as a necessity
Limited time and resources
We can’t learn everything
Identifying and creating champions
Increases awareness of current efforts
Engaged partnerships
Collaborative history
Growth through collaborative partnerships
Librarians as partners and scholars
Scientists from the RCC teaching a workshop as part of the Libraries “Data at Dirac” series

11. Collaboration Examples
Office of Research
SRA courses
Data management policy
Office of proposal development
Research Computing Center
Everyday Data and Dirac workshop series
Data science collaborations
Research Centers and Institutes
ORCid implementation
High Field Magnetic Laboratory
The Graduate School
Data management and documentation workshops
Finding open scholarship

12. Data workshops Partnered with Research Computing Center
Incorporated into existing workshop series
Compromise between open and tools that RCC wanted to showcase

13. Challenges and strategies
Perception of library
Everyone is busy!
Difficulty identifying champions
Strategies for success
Find shared interests and values
Timing is everything!
Don’t be the best kept secret

14. Increased Zotero support and cancelation of RefWorks
Open Tools
Increased Zotero support and cancelation of RefWorks
Promoting open alternatives: QGIS vs ArcGIS
Instruction on how to use tools to find OA literature such as: DOAJ, OSF Preprints

15. USEDit Universal Scientific Equipment Discovery Tool (USEDit)
Concept to create a unique identifier for scientific equipment
Team members from:
STEM Libraries
Metadata and data discovery
Biomolecular Physics Institute
USEDit Website (link)

16. USEDit
Structured citation style or method for scientific lab equipment used in publications or grant applications
Unique universal identifier
Links to standardized equipment sets with documentation
Open to all scholars

17. Advocating for open Communicating Elsevier renegotiations
Demonstrates lack of sustainability of academic publishing model
Opportunity to educate
Increasing awareness of open alternatives
Refworks cancelation and Zotero
Events and workshops to teach open tools
Incorporating open in our work
Finding OA scholarship
Picking the open alternative

18. Eyes on the horizon
Forums and discussions around what open means to us
Expanding offerings on open tools and resources
Strategic Planning Team
Finding ways for the Libraries to advance open science initiatives
