    Implementing Open Access Mandates in Europe: Openaire Study on the Development of Open Access Repository Communities in Europe
    (Universitätsverlag Göttingen, 2012) Schmidt, Birgit; Kuchma, Iryna
    The Openaire project supports the implementation of Europe’s open access policies as outlined in the European Research Council’s Guidelines for Open Access and the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) Open Access Pilot. This work highlights existing open access policies in Europe and provides an overview of publishers’ self-archiving policies. It also highlights the strategies needed to implement these policies. It provides a unique overview of national awareness of open access in 32 European countries involving all eu member states and in addition, Norway, Iceland, Croatia, Switzerland and Turkey. Moreover, it describes funder and institutional open access mandates in Europe and national strategies to introduce and implement them. An overview is provided of the repository infrastructure currently in place in European countries, including institutional and disciplinary repositories, national repository networks and national open access information portals and support networks. There are robust regional and national networks of open access advocates representing libraries and some research discipline communities. More than half of the European countries covered in this work have already established national repository infrastructures. In some of these countries, the FP7 Open Access Pilot was the catalyst for discussions about funders’ open access policies and the development of national research infrastructures (e.g. in Bulgaria, Estonia and Slovenia).

    Building on Experience Learning From the Past To Plan for the Future: Documentation of New Library Buildings in Europe
    (Universitätsverlag Göttingen, 2008) Gürdal, Gültekin; Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche; Feldsien-Sudhaus, Inken
    We have been able to publish this new documentation of recent library buildings just in time for the 14th Seminar of the LIBER Architecture Group. It takes place in Budapest and Debrecen (Hungary) from the 8th to the 12th of April 2008. I am glad to continue the tradition of publishing these volumes which was started by Professor Elmar Mittler (State and University Library Göttingen). As the European community is developing a stronger sense of identity, more and more international libraries want to be included in our publication. Most projects are concerned with scientific university libraries, but the readers will also find an archive as well as examples of public libraries in Amsterdam and Antwerp. Libraries today are not just a place to house information resources (and multimedia) but are also places for learning and communication. These functions also affect the design of the space. Therefore you will also find examples of “Learning Resource Centers” which support students in their learning.
