Massey’s\u00a0newly-created role of\u00a0Copyright and Open Access Advisor will be taken up in early April by Bruce White,\u00a0who is currently a Science Librarian at Manawat\u016b Library.<\/p>\n
Copyright is particularly important for Massey in relation to both teaching and research and within different environments such as Stream.\u00a0 Open access publishing has been a major development in research communication over the past 20 years and holds\u00a0 considerable promise as a means of taking Massey\u2019s research message to the world.<\/p>\n
Bruce\u2019s engagement with electronic scholarly communication goes back to the beginning of his work at Massey in the 1980s. He is known to academic staff through the Library-based Knowledge Management\u00a0 in Research training programme and more recently through Making Your Research Count.<\/p>\n
He is the author of a number of published articles and conference papers on matters relating to libraries and scholarly communication, as well as a short history of the Massey distance library service.\u00a0He has made all of his publications\u00a0 accessible through Massey Research Online and other channels and is a keen but realistic advocate of the social and individual benefits of openness as a publishing strategy.<\/p>\n
Working as a librarian has also given him an awareness of the potential of the Library\u2019s licensed resources to provide the best quality information to Massey students.<\/p>\n
The Library wishes Bruce well in his new role, and we look forward to working with him in these developing\u00a0areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
