Faculty Buy-in for IR and OA Publishing

This session will demonstrate how even a small institution with limited staffing and resources can achieve more than 30 percent buy-in of their faculty to the institutional repository (IR) and increase awareness of and support for open access publishing on their campus.


Attendees will receive:

  • steps for marketing open access and IRs to faculty,
  • examples of marketing materials,
  • suggested workflows and business plans to support high adoption of faculty, and
  • strategies for faculty to employ when looking for a publisher and negotiating contracts to retain greater control over their intellectual property.

Originally presented on Wednesday, September 24, 2014.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this session, participants will have learned specific strategies for engaging faculty and obtaining their content for the IR. The strategies can be easily adapted to any size institution, public or private.

Who Should Attend

Anyone at institutions that have not yet started an institutional repository or those that are struggling to get faculty content.
