Back in March the University of Hull was visited by the OA Pathfinder team from Northumbria and Sunderland, who were on their travels interviewing a number of institutions on how they were dealing with open access. The interview has now been written up as a case study. This followed on from the successful workshop ran by Northumbria at the end of October 2014 that HHuLOA and the O2OA project based in Coventry had attended.
Being interviewed on our work with open access was a great way of reflecting on how we are doing and what work still needed to be done. It was also a useful way to engage some internal stakeholders, with representatives from our Strategic Development Unit and an academic member of the School of Biological, Biomedical and Environmental Sciences also taking part alongside staff from the Library. Our thanks go to David Young and Barry Hall for taking the time to visit and help us better understand how we are getting on.
A further case study is being prepared based on an interview with HHuLOA partner the University of Lincoln.
