This poster describes purposeful, interdepartmental collaborations between librarians at Syracuse University, a large research university with Carnegie status with multiple stakeholders, and the various methods used to strategically create more supportive infrastructures and outreach services around open access, scholarly communications, and accessibility. The authors would like to that ACRL NE Chapter. This poster was presented at ACRL New England Annual Conference, 2019. https://acrlnec.org/chapter-events/detail/41

Lessonia berteroana (ex L. nigrescens) is kelp freely harvested from Open Access Areas (OAA), and to some extent controlled, from Management and Exploitation Areas for Benthic Resources (MEABR). Harvesting pressures can change population dynamics, mainly in OAAs. In particular, harvesting may alter the chemical components of plants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the harvesting effects on the chemical composition of L. berteroana from MEABR and OAA sampled during different seasons (spring and fall) and at two sites (Talquilla and Lagunillas) near Coquimbo (30°S), Chile. The crude protein (13.5 ± 1.0%), total lipids (0.9 ± 0.2%), crude fiber (16.3 ± 1.6%), ash (30.1 ± 1.5%), and nitrogen-free extract (39.2 ± 2.0%) contents of L. berteroana were within reference values for Laminariales species. Population descriptors and chemical analyses showed that harvesting had local effects, rather than being affected by a resource management strategy (OAA vs MEABR). The seasonal anticipator nature of L. berteroana may explain the detected seasonality of it's chemical composition. Regarding functional morphological structures, chemical composition in the fronds was more variable than in the stipes and perennial holdfast, probably since leaves are ephemeral structures susceptible to environmental changes and that play a functional, rather than structural, role in kelp. In the context of Chilean kelp resource management, monitoring chemical composition is useful for determining optimal harvesting periods to local scale and for deciding when commercially valuable compounds, such as alginate, should be extracted. These data also complement harvesting pressure indicators based on L. berteroana demographic parameters.

Dieser Beitrag fasst die Ergebnisse der 2. OANA-Veranstaltung am 21.01.2015 im Palais Harrach in Wien zusammen. Das „Open Access Network Austria“ (OANA) ist eine „joint activity“ unter dem organisatorischen Dach des Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF) und der Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz (UNIKO) mit dem Ziel Open Access Aktivitäten in der österreichischen Forschungslandschaft zu koordinieren. Nach einer ersten OANA-Informationsveranstaltung im November 2013 wurden fünf Arbeitsgruppen zu folgenden Themen gebildet: Open Access Policy, Finanzierung von Open Access, Rechtliche und politische Rahmenbedingungen, Publikationsmodelle und Einbindung von WissenschafterInnen. Im Rahmen der zweiten Informationsveranstaltung wurden die Ergebnisse bzw. Fortschritte der fünf Arbeitsgruppen präsentiert. Mit der Weiterführung von OANA sollen zukünftig einige der genannten Bereiche vertieft sowie um neue Themenfelder ergänzt werden.

According to the Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies (ROARMAP) only 8 research institutions from the Republic of Moldova (12%) approved an Open Access Policy (OAP). All these institutions are universities and none is a research institute or research funder, although research and development activities in the Republic of Moldova are funded basically from the state budget. The paper contains analysis of the situation regarding Open Access Institutional Policies in the Republic of Moldova. Results of a study regarding the attitude of Moldovan academia to open access to research outputs and identified problems on this issue are presented in this work. Emphasis is given to tools and information systems like Institutional Repositories (IRs) that promote open access for research outputs. The paper reveals the barriers for adoption and / or implementation of an open access policy in a research organization and provides ways for their overcoming.
