The Publisher’s and Librarian’s Challenge: Models, practices and products to sustain OA publishing
Tuesday 14 June 2016, London (full day seminar)
Chair:  Will Schweitzer, Director, Product Development for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
#alpspoa
OVERVIEW
Open access presents numerous challenges and opportunities to almost every aspect of a publisher’s business and to a library’s budgets and operations. Market economics and prevailing business models suggest a publisher should minimize costs, focus on serving authors, and prioritize new infrastructure to support one-off transactions with individuals over long-term relationships with institutions.

  *   What does all this mean for publishers nurturing OA programmes or thinking about starting one?
  *   Are there ways to ensure OA initiatives can be commercially successful without long-term subsidies or solely relying on article processing charges?
  *   How should libraries get OA publications into discovery tools?
  *   What role should libraries play in preserving OA content?
  *   Should money to support OA publishing come from the library budget?
  *   Is there a freemium model in which OA content is free but libraries pay for additional features?
Join leading library and publishing professionals in this ALPSP seminar to find out how others are tackling these questions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This seminar is ideal for librarians, journal publishers, research funders, open access advocates and society executives.  The diverse panel will discuss the current state of open access publishing, and how to make open access sustainable, through a variety of lenses. Each panellist welcomes commentary or questions at the end of their talk.
SPEAKER FOCUS
Creating value for the community through integrations, services and systems - Ian Mulvany, Head of Technology, eLife
How do you balance the many requests for integrations, with the must have features, whose absence will make authors shout at you? Do you have to build everything yourself, or are there off the shelf solutions? What advances are happening in the industry to help answer these kinds of questions? Join Ian to will  touch on these questions generally, and also look at how eLife has navigated some of them.

SPEAKER FOCUS
Leveraging OA content to create new revenue opportunities - Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, New Ventures, Copyright Clearance Center
While library budgets for subscriptions have remained flat or shrunk over the past few years, gold road OA remains a growth area for publishers.  And while APC prices likely will not be rising any time soon, publishers can still fuel revenue growth and meet user needs through licensing, market segmentation, and by offering new benefits to authors.

Experimenting, incubation, and path to profitability - David Ross, Executive Director, Open Access, SAGE Publications
Organisations need to think far ahead to even hope to provide appropriate products - and have to take a few risks along the way.  David will examine the development of SAGE’s OA programme over the last decade, with a particular focus on how it has helped establish OA on the Social and Behavioural Sciences.
