| dc.description.abstract | As the push for open access (OA) burgeons around the globe, it is important to examine OA as it relates to collection development practices. Canada has its own particular set of characteristics and approaches to service delivery based on its history and context. Like our global colleagues, opportunities for collection development in Canada include the support of OA journals, repositories, monographs and electronic theses. The strengthening of OA in Canada is tied closely with other issues. Political and educational realities as well as geographic spread are affecting the way the movement is strengthening and impacting collection development practices. In this context, we share the results of a study examining the scholarly communication landscape in Canadian research libraries. The results of interviews with librarians, who are leaders in scholarly communication activities at their own institutions, showcase the prominent role OA plays in enhancing collections at Canadian institutions. Collaboration and the role of cooperative collection development are covered. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening access to open scholarship in libraries regardless of their geographic location. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Puesto que el impulso del acceso abierto (AA) crece en todo el mundo, resulta importante examinarlo con respecto a las prácticas de desarrollo de las colecciones. Canadá posee sus propias características y enfoques respecto de la prestación de servicios conforme a su historia y contexto. Como nuestros colegas de todo el mundo, las oportunidades de desarrollo de las colecciones en Canadá incluyen el servicio de publicaciones, repositorios, monografías y tesis electrónicas de AA. El avance del AA en Canadá está íntimamente relacionado con otros temas. La realidad política y educativa, así como también el avance geográfico, afectan el modo en el que el movimiento fortalece e impacta en las prácticas de desarrollo de las colecciones. En este contexto, compartimos los resultados de un estudio que analiza la comunicación académica en las bibliotecas de investigación de Canadá. Los resultados de las entrevistas a bibliotecarios, líderes en actividades de comunicación académica en sus instituciones, muestran el papel que cumple el AA en el desarrollo de las colecciones de las instituciones de Canadá. Se ha tratado la colaboración y la función de desarrollo cooperativo de la colección. La ponencia concluye con recomendaciones para mejorar el acceso abierto en el ámbito académico de las bibliotecas cualquiera sea su ubicación geográfica. | es |
