as the first step in developing a set of assessment criteria for libraries to determine which OA<br />

journals they will financially support.<br />

This item was deferred for the time being.<br />

6. Proposal for discussion - That <strong>CARL</strong> recommend to CRKN to allocate specific funds to<br />

support Open Access.<br />

CRKN plays a role in helping to transform scholarly communication; what else should it do to<br />

support Open Access? Motion: recommend to Board, that it encourage CRKN to explore<br />

opportunities to support OA. Motion Passed.<br />

There has to be a revenue stream to support OA; we have to choose to support certain products<br />

over others that do provide OA.<br />

7. Congress 2010 in Montreal<br />

One of the themes of Congress this year is open access. There are three separate sessions<br />

planned: (1) a keynote by Robert Darnton, (2) a panel of OA journal business models by CALJ,<br />

and (3) a panel about the benefits of OA in the developing world. <strong>CARL</strong> is being asked to sponsor<br />

the third event. Leslie Chan will moderate the panel and the speakers will be developing world<br />

researchers who can articulate the potential impact of OA on their work.<br />

Theme “Connected Understanding”<br />

Congress and Concordia are looking for sponsorship – they need 9000, and have already<br />

received 3000 from an anonymous donor. Some in-kind support is needed to organize the panel<br />

– contacting speakers and organizing their travel and accommodations. This is the biggest<br />

audience to promote OA to in Canada. Concordia Staff could handle travel arrangements, <strong>CARL</strong><br />

can help identify speakers.<br />

The Committee recommends that the Board go ahead with sponsoring this.<br />
