Description
Since the University of California system published its Declaration of Principles to Transform Scholarly Communication and subsequently canceled its big deal with Elsevier, big deal journal negotiations have become a hot topic of conversation across the academic library profession. This talk will focus on how these high-profile negotiation efforts can intersect with the broader institutional open access goals that drive both library publishing programs and OA policy initiatives. Mitchell will consider, in particular, whether there are shared principles that inform our efforts in these respective areas; to what extent our work in one area can support or reinforce our efforts in another; and how the university must reimagine its space within the scholarly communication landscape.
