Changing research in Mozambique with a shared institutional repository

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:54:10 +0300

An institutional repository (IR) is a publicly accessible archive where the work published by authors affiliated with the university is available online. According to the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR), there are over 1,700 repositories around the world. While English predominates, 56 languages are represented including Portuguese. Soon to be counted is the first repository from Mozambique, which achieved its public launch in November 2009.

Participants in policy making – libraries are stakeholders

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:30:55 +0300

Restrictive copyright laws create legal barriers to accessing resources for education, research and personal development. This can have significant consequences for libraries in developing and transition countries which have limited funds to purchase copyright-protected materials. Through the programme “Advocacy for Access to Knowledge: copyright and libraries”, known as EIFL-IP, we advocate for fair and balanced copyright laws that support libraries in their mission to provide access to knowledge.

The power of experience: stakeholders emerge as a force for change in Albania

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:28:42 +0300

The Republic of Albania lies in South Eastern Europe in a region known as the Western Balkans. Independent since 1912, Albania was occupied during the Second World War, followed by more than forty years of communist rule. The transition from a closed, centrally-planned state to an open market economy since the establishment of a multiparty democracy in the 1990s has proved to be challenging. In 1997, the collapse of the so-called “pyramid schemes” in which many Albanians lost their life savings, threw the country into crisis.

Report on the implementation of open content licenses in developing and transition countries

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:49:08 +0300

The survey attempted to gather information from a broad spectrum of research institutions in developing and transition countries in order to get a better understanding of the current state of the implementation of open content licenses. Open content licenses or some explicit statement attached to the article when it is published in an open access journal or deposited in an open access repository help to refer to a specific type of libre open access. These licenses / statements make it clear to the reusers what they are permitted to do with published and deposited articles (including data). An organization’s or journal’s licensing policy (including policy on re-use and redistribution) shall be clearly stated and visible on the web site. We looked at the web sites of 2,041 open access journals and 218 open access repositories from eIFL network countries. And this report highlights the best practices in using open content licenses by open access journals and open access repositories in developing and transition countries. The report was produced in the framework of the EIFL-OA advocacy programme supported by Open Society Institute and the Wellcome Trust.

Report on Open Repository Development in Developing and Transition countries

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:37:16 +0300

This study was conducted with the cooperation of eIFL.net, the University of Kansas Libraries, the DRIVER project and Key Perspectives Ltd. The aim was to create an inventory of current digital repository activities in developing and transition countries at both the infrastructure and services level. This is the first attempt to collect such data about digital repository activity in developing and transition countries and we hope this will serve as important resource for promoting open access and repository development in these regions. This report was produced in the framework of the eIFL-OA advocacy program supported by Open Society Institute and the Wellcome Trust.
