From: "Bhatt, Anjana" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 15:27:21 +0000 Hi All: I am a members of the Open Access (OA) Agreements and Licenses Task Force, set up by Confederation of Open Access Repositories. The purpose of the Task Force is to monitor, evaluate and promote the implementation of effective open access agreements and licenses in order to improve access to research papers globally. For further details about our work please check http://www.coar-repositories.org/working-groups/repository-content/licenses-task-force/ I am currently gathering information about various types of OA agreement (between publisher-library/licensing agencies) that are currently in use across the US libraries. If you have worked with an open access publisher and have any information for the following issues please respond to me directly at [log in to unmask] 1. Licensing language that allows authors and/or institutions to retain rights to deposit copies of publications ("self-archive") in open access repositories (disciplinary and/or institutional). 2. Publishers terms for access and reuse (i.e. to enable text mining, hyperlinking, copying, distribution, derived works etc.) 3. Memberships with open access publishers. 4. Agreements with publishers for direct deposit into repositories (disciplinary and/or institutional) 5. Agreements with subscription-based publishers to publish with open access option (Hybrid Open Access Journals) 6. Other types of cooperative agreements for open access (i.e. SCOAP3). Is it possible for you to share some sample clauses? It will be great if you could share a copy of your license agreement with me so I can cull the information myself. I will summarize and share my report with you all later. Thank you. Anjana Anjana H.
