What is Open about Closed: an Ubuntu Perspective of Open AccessReggie Raju, Deputy Director: Research and Learning Services, University of Cape TownThe principles of inclusivity and Ubuntu are the golden threads that are deemed to have been weaved into the open access fabric. If rolled-out as interpreted, it is viewed by global south countries as a solution to address inequalities and de-marginalization of the marginalized. However, that open access cloud with the silver lining has evaporated with, inter alia, the introduction of deceptive proposals such as article processing charges and its different variations. African open access movements must develop their own identity that advances social justice and that which is commensurate with its challenges. All closed channels of openness must be liberated.

10:10–11:10 a.m. Featured Speaker Facilitating OA Transformation through Publisher Engagement:

The UC ExperienceIvy Anderson, Director, Collection Development and Management Program, California Digital LibraryLibraries across the globe have been pursuing open access for decades, but until recently, progress has continued to be painfully slow. Transformative open access agreements with publishers have begun to change this, as institutions in Europe and increasingly in the US as well are now negotiating open access

agreements with major publishers. By transitioning major journal license expenditures from ‘read access’ to support open access publishing, we can begin to achieve open access at scale, supporting our authors in all of the journals in which they choose to publish. This talk will discuss UC’s experience in negotiating transformative open access agreements with existing publishers, including how native OA publishers can be integrated into this model to create a truly level playing field across all publishers.

Academy-Owned Non-Profit Open Access Publishing: an Approach to Achieve Participatory and Sustainable Scholarly CommunicationsArianna Becerril García, Executive Director, RedalycWhy is it that commercial publishers are a pivotal actor in science communication if the biggest part of activities concerning the generation of knowledge is in the academy? What is the future we envision for the dissemination of science? In whose hands should it be? AmeliCA’s and Redalyc’s approach is based on the fact that scholarly communication in control of the academy is a strategy much healthier and sustainable for the development of science and society.
