Evolving Landscape of Scholarly Communications in BC: University of Victoria
No full textThe evolving landscape of scholarly communications in British Columbia was explored from the perspectives of academic librarians and faculty. Members of the Canadian Association of research Libraries are building and filling institutional repositories so that their faculty can make their own work open access, something that funding agencies are increasingly expecting. The University of Victoria Library's Inba Kehoe discussed copyright issues, of critical importance to the institutional repository, and to faculty seeking to deposit articles in a manner consistent with funding agency open access policy mandates

Book Review: The Librarian’s Legal Companion for Licensing Information Resources and Services
No full textCriteria for evaluating internet resources
No full textThe wonderful thing about the internet is that anyone can publish on the web; but, total access facilitation does not make everyone an expert! Unlike books and journals that the library purchases, web resources rarely have editors or fact checkers. Understandably, due to the all inclusiveness of the web there are a plethora of fraudulent websites available and the quality of information and data varying greatly. Generally speaking, there are no web standards to ensure accuracy of information and data, but the following set of questions, when applied by students to a website, will help them to make a critical evaluation about the validity and appropriateness of internet resources
The Second Wave: The Impact of Digital and Open Practices on Faculty Scholarship in Higher Education
No full textOne of the noblest duties of the university is to enable and encourage “intellectual endeavour, valuing scholarship for its own worth and fostering a collaborative spirit in the furtherance of society” (Enabling Open Scholarship, 2016). The advent of the World Wide Web and ancillary advancements in technology have not only opened up scholarship for greater access, but created a transformation in the scholarly practice. The challenges faculty experienced in adopting new practices were examined and whether they straddled all domains of scholarly practice (e.g., research, teaching, and service), how universities measured impact and quality in this new publishing landscape, and what benchmarks existed for evaluating these forms of non-traditional scholarship.
In this study, a phenomenographical approach was employed to understand the impact open scholarship practices have had on academic scholars employed at a university in Western Canada. An embedded triangulation mixed methods design approach was used for this multiphase study to obtain different but complementary data on the lived realities of scholars at the University. Phase 1 included a survey using an explanatory sequential design. After the data collection and analysis were completed, individual in-person semi-structured interviews were conducted. Phase 2 of the study included the analysis of a selection of primary university documents related to tenure and promotion. Finally, a joint analysis approach was used to present the findings from the mixed methods study (i.e., quantitative and qualitative studies). Six themes emerged from the study that highlighted ways participants conducted research (access to research and tools used), their adoption of open intentions and initiatives and use of social media platforms and social networks, accountability and transparency of university policies and guidelines, types of research outputs produced, and criteria for faculty evaluation. Based on the implications from these findings, five recommendations were offered for enacting change: establish administrative accountability, make all tenure and promotion documents openly accessible, broadly define scholarship, broaden the scope of impact, and develop a values-based framework model for assessment.Graduat
