OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND PRESS 22
GOAL 3: PLAY A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN
KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND DISSEMINATION
OSU Libraries and Press will act as a partner and adviser, using our
experience and resources to transform scholarly communication within
the University. We will work with our communities to promote Open
Access to scholarly communication and shift our focus from being
gatekeepers of information to being collaborators in the creation and
dissemination process.
As a trusted repository, we will curate the intellectual output of the
Oregon State University community, working with other campus units
to provide the tools and infrastructure necessary to support the entire
life cycle of that data including selection, certification, maintenance,
preservation, discovery, and long-term access. Our digital publishing
and Open Access initiatives will explore new modes of knowledge
dissemination to enhance academic discourse by removing barriers
related to access and cost. The research of library faculty will inform this
process by investigating new scholarly communication models, creating
innovative tools and services, and measuring our effectiveness.
