Information Repository to her departmental faculty and students; another faculty participant invited a librarian to his Research Institute to talk to faculty about open access business models for journal publication and the future of digital scholarship. Lessons Learned: Public Attendance: The organizers were well aware that we needed to consider other avenues for advertising events to the larger public. Due to a last minute decision to extend our event to the public, we were only able to advertise minimally. Next year we will need to work with university alumni groups and others to advertise our events to the public. Appealing to Students: Despite massive advertising to UBC student groups and faculties, as with our OA Awareness Day event last year, we had difficulties appealing to non‐library school students. Next year we will have to think more carefully about partnerships with other student groups on our campus. CARL & SPARC Webcasts: Although we welcomed and liked the approach for the CARL kick‐off event, notice of the event came too late after mass advertising was already sent out. There may have been others on the UBC campus that joined in the webcast that were not captured in our statistics. If CARL does a similar event in the future, it would be good to have several months notice, if possible, so that we could build an event, such as a discussion forum, around the webcast. Our experience with the SPARC webcasts this year and last year, is that they are not well attended by non‐library folks. Even participants who attended sessions just before the webcast opted to leave once the webcast came on. The ability for institutions to plan and build a specific event around the webcast may improve attendance. Faculty Attendance: Similarly to last year, the faculty who tended to come to the events were those the Library had previously built a relationship with (journal editors, individual faculty etc.) Next year, I would suggest we co‐host events with other campus stakeholders or partner with faculty on some of the talks as a way of improving faculty and student participation in our events. Timing of the Event: We also learned the timing of the event may have been a factor attendance‐wise. I heard from a number of faculty members that they wanted to come to our events but they were either in the midst of meeting deadlines for grant funding applications, preparing lectures and so forth. It is a tremendously busy time on campus. When asked if there was a preference for time of year, most indicated end of November or late March as a better timeframe. Perhaps next year we may consider taking advantage of Open Access Week by hosting just a couple of sessions as a way of advertising our main event later in the year. The timing would also help our organizers who had to navigate our summer vacation time in order to plan events. Furthermore, we found it was difficult to commit keynote speakers from outside of our organization to speak at our events. Often they were booked early on at their home institutions or other institutions for OA Week events. Hosting the event at another time would be more helpful if we wish to book external speakers. 6
UWO Western Libraries at The University of Western Ontario organized a panel discussion and a workshop during this year's Open Access Week. The topic of the panel was "What Can Open Access Do for Academic Authors and Society?". The panelists were three faculty members at Western (Professor Joaquin Madrenas, Professor Mark Perry, and Professor Ajit Pyati) who had been engaged in the open access movement in different ways. Professors Madrenas and Pyati discussed how open access was beneficial to academic authors and society as a whole. Professor Perry then shared his thoughts about author rights and intellectual property law. The workshop, which took place two days after the panel discussion, introduced attendees to different routes to ensure open access to their published research. The library also set up two information booths to distribute brochures about open access and Scholarship@Western (the scholarly communication portal managed by the library). Two follow‐up events were organized in Nov. to carry forward the momentum of the Open Access Week. The first was a guest lecture by an intellectual property professor at Western, Dr. Samuel Trosow, who addressed the need to find the right balance about copyright for teaching, research, and cultural expression. The second event was the Sparky Awards @ Western video contest. The library invited Western students to create short videos to express their views of the value of information sharing in the digital age. It seemed that discussions of examples of how open access has actually been translated into practice would be of interest to attendees of these events. 7
