Updating such an effort at collecting information about faculty research and publications alongside a corresponding repository effort presents a challenge for any library. Handling enquiries about issues such as author rights, incentives, and versioning may consume a great amount of time. 22 Introduction One major impediment to greater numbers of deposits has been confusion around versioning, and especially about the deposit of postprints, usually not an established practice for authors. The term ‘postprints’ has itself caused some confusion.
35 2 Librarians and their own open access publishing Self-archiving by librarians Open access initiatives useful to librarians and library and information science (LIS) faculty may include library-published, LIS-focused peerreviewed open access journals, LIS subject repositories for author selfarchiving of preprints and postprints, inclusion of work in institutional repositories, and integration of LIS open access journals in subject-focused indexes and abstracts. Of course, any definition of open access would take into account mounting articles on authors’ personal web pages, and development of open source software for libraries.
Members of many organisations value their journals, and will continue to pay for membership as long as these journals come to them in a convenient format. Some membership organisations have found that this preference may even extend to print journals delivered to the home. Librarians may not want to advocate for the potential death of their most valued journals in the name of open access. Librarians may be conflicted about support for open access while understanding the plight of the society or smaller publishers.
