Links to recorded presentations were removed from Sched on June 15. All registered attendees have received an email with direct links for access. Recordings will remain available only for registered attendees until they are released to the public on NASIG's YouTube channel, after an embargo.Scholarly Communications librarians routinely promote open access publishing, encouraging campus authors to increase their impact for the benefit of a greater number of readers. Researchers at East Carolina University (ECU) collected six years of publication data to analyze how much per year was free to read, and how much more could be made free for end users to read. To do that, bibliographic information about the publications was merged with open access information provided by Unpaywall and Sherpa/RoMEO. ECU's open access rates were compared to those from multiple peer institutions. Our institution’s top journals, publishers, and funders were identified. Results were collated by author to target potential open access champions and for outreach to encourage green OA deposit when permitted. The methodology will be shared so that it can be refined in community, and attendees will be encouraged to share successful strategies for advocating open access to faculty and university administration.
