ORBilu sort de l’œuf22/04/2013 C’est avec joie qu’ORBi annonce ce lundi 22 avril 2013 la naissance de son homologue luxembourgeois ORBilu, né d’un accord de partenariat conclu en mai 2012 entre l’Université de Liège et l’Université du Luxembourg. Cet événement transnational, fruit du travail mené depuis plusieurs mois sous la houlette des Directions des Bibliothèques des deux institutions respectives, est d’importance non seulement pour les deux équipes partenaires mais aussi et fondamentalement, comme contribution au développement du mouvement Open Access ! L’Uni.lu, bénéficie désormais d’une interface de valorisation de sa recherche à l’identique de celle d’ORBi, lui permettant de gagner ainsi en visibilité. Celle-ci pourra également, à l’instar de son grand frère liégeois, s’appuyer sur la mise en place d’une politique ambitieuse en la matière.
I love open access20/03/2013 Following the publication in Le Monde newspaper of the article Savoirs. Un bien public convoité,(*) (Knowledge. A sought after public good) a community of university officials, teachers-researchers, publishers and library directors have wished to respond and express their support for open access to research results by publishing in Le Monde an opinion column entitled Qui a peur de l'open access? (Who’s afraid of Open Access?) You can now back this movement by also signing the opinion piece on the site I love open access. Le Monde has also subsequently launched an appeal for testimonies from people concerned: Chercheurs, quels sont selon vous les défauts du système actuel de diffusion des connaissances? (Researchers, according to you what are the flaws in the current system of disseminating knowledge?) (*)Cabut, Sandrine and Larousserie, David. Savoirs. Un bien public convoité. In : Le Monde (March 2, 2013). Also read: A qui appartient le savoir ? (To Whom Does Knowledge Belong ?)
Obama and Germany on the right (Green) Path!01/03/2013 At the beginning of this year 2013, a breath of springtime air already seems to be pushing the American and German governments further along the Green Path. On February 22 the American public made public its policy concerning better access to the results of the research it funds, thus taking the path initiated by the National Institutes of Health. For its part Germany could go much further. A modification in German law concerning copyright which will be considered in September could render inalienable the right of researchers to freely disseminate their articles on the internet, the same being also true in the case of a transfer of copyright to the publisher. |

In may 2007, the ULg's Administrative Board (joined in June 2007 by the FUSAGx) decided to create an institutional repository and defined a strong institutional self-archiving policy to increase the visibility, accessibility and impact of the University's publications (Board's decision). This decision led to the official launch, in November 2008, of the ORBi platform including both the Academic Bibliography and the Institutional Repository of the Wallonia-Europe University Academy. |
