What is different about the model for OA in Latin America and what are the implications for libraries and collections? Are there dangers we should watch out for, even as we support this movement? Is Open Access in Latin America the same as in the United States? How are the models different? Given the speed of adoption of Open Access in Latin America, what do we know? What, if any, are the implications for libraries and collections of the rapid adoption of OA in Latin America? Are there dangers to the breakneck speed of OA adoption in Latin America?Item The Latin American and Indigenous Peoples of the Americas funnel(2023-06-07) Levinson, SaraThis is an introduction to the LAIPA (Latin American and Indigenous Peoples of the America) SACO funnel.

Our institutional repository, ScholarWorks, has existed for several years, but now the opt-out policy requires faculty authors to deposit copies of their manuscripts for scholarly articles that were published on or after Oct. 7, 2014. Liaison librarians are contributing to this process through usability testing for a new submission portal for articles, educating faculty about our repository and policy, preparing and uploading manuscripts and contacting publishers for permissions to disseminate work. I will talk about the confusion, questions, and support this change has generated on campus. I will also speak about the impact on my faculty members in terms of receiving personal recognition, inquiries and collaboration requests, and numbers of downloads. I am an advocate for open access and I have shared my own work through the repository.
