In early 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP) directed Federal agencies with more than $100M in R&D
Expenditures to develop plans to make federally funded research openly
available to the public within one year of publication. Partly in
response to this directive, university and library groups partnered to
develop the SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE) to promote the
preservation of, access to, and reuse of scholarly research.
Similarly, publishers, scholarly societies, and service providers came
together to create the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the
United States (CHORUS) to increase public access to peer-reviewed
publications that report on federally funded research. With similar
missions and goals, how might the two groups might work together to
promote access to research? Where do they overlap, and how do they
differ? And how might individual librarians get involved with these
efforts?

The webinar will feature Judy Ruttenberg, from SHARE, and Howard
Ratner, from CHORUS. Together, they will be discussing:

• What has been the response so far to the OSTP mandate among
different federal departments?

• What are the functions and goals of SHARE and CHORUS and how do the
groups relate to the OSTP mandate?

• Where do the two groups overlap, where do they complement each
other, and how do they differ?

• How can the groups work together to promote access to research?

• What can librarians do to help their patrons benefit from the
efforts of both groups?

Their words will be followed by some Q&A led by David Ross, executive
publisher of open access at SAGE.
