What is Open Access?
Open access is free, unrestricted access to scholarly resources from conference proceedings to conference posters to pre-prints to published journal articles.
Public access is granted to scholarly resources after the expiration of embargoes (i.e. restrictions).
Open access is research data dissemination and sharing congruent with copyright owners’ and publishers’ permissions.

Emerging Trend
With the White House announcement on new open access policy by he Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) on February 22, 2013 OSTP OA Policy, many institutions need to expand public access to federally-funded research.
Brief OA Landscape - SPARC
Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resource Coalition (SPARC) – international alliance of academic & research libraries
Full, consortial, supporting, affiliate, international supporting, or European status membership
200+ North American members, 7 Canadian provinces, 45 US including the District of Columbia i.e. American University, Duke University, Florida
State University, Harvard University
Brief OA Landscape - OpenDOAR
OpenDOAR - The Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) – directory of academic open access repositories
402 United States institutions i.e. Columbia University, Library of Congress,
Cornell, University of Georgia, Auburn, Boston College, Duke University, University of Florida

Purpose of OA - Model of Scholarship (Nibert, 2008)
Discovery – Build new knowledge through traditional research
Integration – Interpret the use of knowledge
across disciplines
Application – Aid society and professions in addressing problems
Teaching – Study teaching models and practices to achieve
optimal learning
Scholarship
Goal - InterdisciplinaryCollaboration & Communication
Sciences
Social Sciences
Computer Science &
Engineering
Expose domain expertise beyond dominant discipline & enable reproducible research
Improve scholarly reach, impact & increase scholarly works citation
Develop multiple perspectives to problems common across disciplines
FAMU OAI FacilitatesScholarly Communication
Educate researchers on Creative Commons, Science Commons, & SHERPA/RoMEO to encourage a culture of OA contribution, participation, & adoption
Promote faculty research and scholarly output via an OA platform
Aggregate faculty research and scholarly output from heterogeneous sources into a central portal and/or link to related sources (i.e. link data sets with publications to discipline)
Coalition for Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI)|SPARC
The Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI) brings together representatives from North American universities with established faculty open access policies and those in the process of developing such policies.
Includes 21 universities Columbia University Duke University Harvard Florida State University MIT
Scholarly Communication – COAPI’s RFI Primary Goals
“Provide institutional information for published sources (grant IDs, funding organization, I2-Institutional Identifier, etc.)
Provide descriptive information for both the repository and published versions (Dublin, ORCID)
Support searching through keywords as well as controlled vocabulary schema appropriate to disciplines [domain sciences]
Incorporate abstracts, facilitate full text searching and web crawling, & support metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH)
Support data exchange standards (JSON) & document IP rights” (COAPI RFI, 2012, p. 9-10)
