A Problem

LOCAL AND INTERNAL APPROACH
![Page 4: No Librarian is an Island - Lauren Collister - OpenCon 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051520/588925ec1a28ab77528b6169/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Have a Party
![Page 5: No Librarian is an Island - Lauren Collister - OpenCon 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051520/588925ec1a28ab77528b6169/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Do Some Groundwork
• Lunch and Learn sessions for colleagues– Bring snacks!– Have a “toolbox tip” – a concrete take-away that
colleagues can use. – Entire lineup: http://d-
scholarship.pitt.edu/19581/
• Build a track / interest group– Those who came to the lunch & learns all the time– Tasks related to their work.– Example: liaison librarians & advocacy

Advocacy Party• Ask liaisons (subject specialists) “What are your
faculty preoccupied with?”– Answers: ResearchGate/Academia.edu (should we be
using these?), grant funding, impact• Help connect to Open
– Question about ResearchGate? Let them know that our Institutional Repository is less spammy and connected to Google Scholar
– How to show impact? Make their work Open in IR or OA journal, reach a wider audience, plus use altmetrics to track.
– Grant funding? Many funders have an OA requirement – time to start thinking about that now!

Librarians “Walk the Walk”
If we are going to suggest being Open to the scholars and researchers that we work with, we should be Open ourselves.
Action items: Sign an Open pledge, have your work in the repository, use altmetrics on your CV, start conversations about flipping journals to OA. Keep up with this! Ask for “open stories”.
