In keeping with the campus announcement to extend remote instruction and its related activities through the end of spring quarter, and in support of the health and well-being of the campus community and the library staff, the University Library expects that library buildings will remain closed through spring quarter.  There will be no access to the physical collection while the building is closed. The University Library is committed to supporting the success of remote instruction and is making as much of its collection and services accessible online as it can.

Remote Access to Course Content

• Much of the Library’s collection is accessible in eBook format now. Request additional titles needed for your teaching using our recommend a purchase form. If an eBook can be licensed for academic use, the library will license it. For ebooks already in our collection, research@library.ucsc.edu can confirm if the title has a multi-user license suitable for your course needs.
   
• The University Library has expanded its support for licensing streaming media required for teaching through June. Faculty may request films required for teaching your courses using our purchase form. If a required film can be licensed for academic use, the library will license it. 
   
• The University Library has and will continue to take advantage of publisher offers to expand access to content not currently licensed by the University Library through June - see Library Trials to see what is available now.
   
• The University Library’s Interlibrary Loan service will continue to fill requests that can be readily completed and delivered electronically such as book chapters, tables of contents and articles. See the Interlibrary Loan page for more information and details on how to submit a request.

Library Support for Remote Instruction

The University Library has adapted its teaching support services for remote instruction and we are ready to work with you and your students. Instructors may reach out to research@library.ucsc.edu with questions. Visit the Digital Scholarship web page for up to date information about library services to support remote instruction.

This newest exhibit featuring unique materials from the Grateful Dead Archive will explore how the members of the band and the global Dead Head community took inspiration from one another in creating an image-rich, worldwide art practice that, like the band’s music, scrambled perceived standards and norms. 

The creative works presented in When We Paint Our Masterpiece reveal a world full of variety when it comes to design practices, international traditions, visual icons, and art forms. There has been space for all of these patterns and visions in the community of fans and fellow artists that blossomed around the band, and that community of creators continues to thrive today. This exhibit explores  the mutual appreciation among fans as well as between fans and the band. 

On view starting February 6th through 2020.

This free exhibit is open to the public during McHenry Library hours.

UC and Elsevier 
After formal negotiations stalled in February 2019, UC and Elsevier have remained in informal conversations and are looking forward to continuing that dialogue. UC and Elsevier plan to hold a meeting to explore reopening negotiations within the first quarter of 2020. 

Over the past year, Elsevier has signed other transformative agreements, and we are hopeful that this suggests that the publisher is ready to discuss deals that align with UC’s goals.

In the meantime, learn more about how the Library can help you find the Elsevier articles you need.

Share your views: Members of UC’s academic community are encouraged to participate in a short 3-minute poll to gauge the impact of the loss of immediate access to current Elsevier content via ScienceDirect.

Wiley and Springer Nature
UC is in negotiations with Wiley and Springer Nature to renew contracts that expired on Dec. 31. In each case, UC and the publisher have a shared desire to reach a transformative agreement that combines UC’s subscription with open access publishing of UC research. Both publishers have extended UC’s access to their journals, under the terms of their previous contracts, while negotiations are underway. 

New agreements: Association for Computing Machinery and Journal of Medical Internet Research

UC has announced two new publisher agreements, each with a different model to provide financial support for UC researchers who choose to publish their work open access. 

• UC was one of four major research institutions to enter into an open access publishing agreement with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Under the three-year agreement with this society publisher, the UC libraries will pay to retain access to ACM’s journals and other publications, and to ensure that UC researchers’ articles will be made openly available at the time of publication at no cost to the authors.
• As part of a new two-year pilot with JMIR Publications — a native open access publisher of more than 30 digital health-related journals including its flagship Journal of Medical Internet Research — the UC Libraries will pay the first $1,000 of the open access publishing fee for all UC authors who choose to publish in a JMIR journal. Authors who do not have research funds available can request financial assistance from the libraries for the remainder of the costs, ensuring that lack of research funds does not present a barrier for UC authors who wish to publish in JMIR journals. 

Each agreement expands UC’s portfolio of options for its authors who wish to make their research open access. As UC’s first such agreements with a native open access and a society publisher, respectively, the two new pilots exemplify the university’s commitment to finding ways to work with publishers of all types and sizes to advance open access to UC research. 

Cambridge University Press: Agreement now fully implemented
After an initial kickoff phase in 2019, UC’s first transformative open access agreement, with Cambridge University Press, is now fully in effect. Starting this month, when UC corresponding authors submit their accepted manuscript for publication with Cambridge, they will be prompted to consider making their article open access. The open access fee will be discounted by 30%, and the UC Libraries’ $1,000 subsidy will be applied automatically. Authors who have research funding available will be asked to use those funds to pay any remaining amount, under a cost-sharing model designed to enable the UC Libraries to stretch their available funds and help as many authors as possible. As with UC’s agreement with JMIR, if an author does not have research funds available to pay the remainder of the open access publishing fee, they can request that the libraries pay their portion, as well. Learn more about the agreement and what it means for you if you publish with Cambridge.

More to Come
Conversations with other publishers are also in the pipeline, and we will keep you apprised when there are major developments or new agreements to share.

If you have questions about any of these open access publishing agreements or negotiations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at research@library.ucsc.edu.

The collection of Hayden V. White Papers is newly processed and openly available for research in the Special Collections & Archives reading room. The collection includes White’s research files, correspondence, drafts of writings and publications, teaching files, and conference files, in both paper and digital form.  The collection guide can be viewed on the Online Archive of California.

Hayden V. White (1928-2018) was a literary critic, historical theorist, and University Professor at UC Santa Cruz who made contributions to the study of narrative theory, historiography, and hermeneutics throughout his academic career. A central thread of White's research throughout his career was questioning how historical events are constructed through writing and discourse. White was instrumental in forming and formalizing the department of History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz, and also taught at Stanford, Wesleyan, the University of Rochester, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.

The new exhibit showcasing this collection, entitled “Archival Research as Penance”: The Papers and Library of Hayden V. White, opens on Friday November 1st from 10:30am to 12pm in the Special Collections & Archives Reading Room, and will be on display until March 20th, 2020. The exhibit was curated by CART Fellows and History of Consciousness graduate students Patrick King and Christian Alvarado.

Re:      Elsevier access suspended

The University of California has been out of contract with Elsevier since January, but until now the publisher continued to allow access to 2019 articles via ScienceDirect. As of today (July 10, 2019) UC’s direct access to new Elsevier articles has been discontinued.

What is affected: Members of the UC community no longer have direct access to:

• 2019 articles in all Elsevier journals
• Older articles in certain journals (download the list)

What is not affected: Articles published before 2019 in most Elsevier journals (covering about 95% of historical usage) should continue to be available via ScienceDirect.  

The systemwide faculty Senate has encouraged stakeholders across UC to use alternative access methods or contact their campus library for assistance in obtaining articles, and to refrain from any new independent subscriptions to Elsevier journals at this time. “By ‘holding the line,’” the Senate leadership writes, “the UC can help change the system of scholarly communication for the betterment of all.” 
 

How to get the articles you need

Information about other ways to access Elsevier articles is available on the library’s website and summarized below. There are several options — plus, the library is always here to help.

• Use the interlibrary loan (ILL) request form. Any request for content no longer licensed through Elsevier will automatically be placed into a rush queue. ILL requests made in Melvyl or via UC-eLinks will also be expedited.  
• Use tools like Google Scholar, Unpaywall and Open Access Button to quickly find open access copies, when available.
• Email the corresponding author listed in the abstract to request a copy.
• We are here to help. Contact our Interlibrary Loan staff at ill@ucsc.edu so we can best facilitate your needs.

What happens next?

We will be carefully evaluating the impact of losing access to new articles on ScienceDirect over the coming months, and will do our best to ensure that you have access to the articles you need. Meanwhile, UC is hoping to reenter formal negotiations with Elsevier if the publisher indicates that they are willing to discuss a contract that integrates our goals of containing costs and facilitating open access to UC research.

If you have any questions or need help accessing an article, please don’t hesitate to contact the library at any time.

The UC Systemwide Library Catalog received an upgrade and a new URL on June 17.

This update called "Melvyl Discovery" includes many improvements to the user interface.  The new site is available now live at https://ucsc.on.worldcat.org/discovery.

Two things to note for current Melvyl users:
 

• If you have an account in the current Melvyl system, it won't transfer to the new Melvyl Discovery System but you can set up a new one using the Sign In button on the new site.
• If you have lists of research sources saved in the current Melvyl system, they won't transfer to the new system automatically, but the library has posted instructions for importing lists on our website.  Be sure to transfer your lists by the end of life date for the old Melvyl, August 9, 2019.

UC Santa Cruz is about to begin renovation of the third floor of the Science & Engineering Library.

In March 2018, the University Library received a $5 million gift from an anonymous donor to renovate the top floor of the Science & Engineering Library. The floor will be named in honor of Professor Emerita of Astronomy and Astrophysics Sandra Faber, one of the campus’s most distinguished scholars.

This generous gift will allow the campus to create safe, attractive, comfortable, and convenient study environments designed to support academic success. The renovated space will be quieter, better ventilated, and much better equipped with AC/USB power in seating areas. The renovation will create seating for more library patrons, and provide separate zones for focused, quiet study, and for small group collaboration. Work will begin in the summer with a reopening planned at the start of winter quarter. Here is a brief project timeline:

• Fall 2018: The campus approved the renovation project and timeline.
• Fall 2018: The campus and library worked with master architect EHDD to develop the project’s Request for Proposals (RFP).
• Winter 2019: The campus solicited RFPs from qualified design/build teams. Two teams of creative, talented, and enthusiastic builders and architects submitted proposals.
• Spring 2019: The design/build team of Roebbelen and Ratcliff was awarded the contract for the project.
• Spring/Summer 2019: Design and construction documents will be reviewed and approved by Capital Planning and Space Management.
• Summer/Fall 2019: The third floor of S&E Library will be closed for renovation.
• January 2, 2020: A new, vibrant third floor will open!

This generous gift also gives us the opportunity to update the furniture on the third floor — much of it is more than 25 years old — with selections that better support the needs of modern students and researchers. We are working with a variety of vendors to find the best options and value. We have already installed some sample pieces on the third floor of S&E and more will be added. We encourage you to visit, see for yourself, and leave us your feedback. If you prefer, you can leave us feedback online.

In the spirit of transparency, the University Library will issue three more news flashes to keep students, faculty, and staff fully apprised of our progress. The next two will update you on the work in progress. The fourth and final announcement will celebrate the completion of the work and re-opening of the third floor. These features will be published in the quarterly Library Newsletter and included in campuswide newsletter, Tuesday Newsday. If you have not yet signed up for the newsletter, please consider doing so to receive future updates. You can subscribe up here. 

These updates will also be published on the News and Events section of the University Library’s website and on the Science & Engineering Library Renovation Blog.

July 18th is UCSC’s Disposition Day, an annual event that encourages the safe and secure disposal of confidential university records.

This occasion also provides an opportunity to transfer campus historical records to University Archives. Such records may include UCSC administrative records or other materials documenting UCSC history, campus life and culture. Specific guidelines about the types of material suitable for University Archives can be found here. 

Think you may have a collection that should be housed in the University Archives? Let’s talk! Email us at speccoll@library.ucsc.edu to start the conversation.

"Depth-of-Field: Translating the Benefits of Virtual Reality from the Laboratory to the (Higher-Ed) Classroom" with Matt Cook

Please join us for this event in the David Kirk Digital Scholarship Commons (ground floor) from 4–6pm in McHenry Library.

Increasingly accessible Virtual Reality technologies allow course content to be presented in context, at human scale, and responsive to the wide range of body-centered interactions. These representational characteristics, which define our engagement with real-world objects and environments, have been shown in the literature to improve performance on activities that overlap significantly with target learning outcomes across multiple disciplines. Yet, relatively few curricular interventions have made full use of VR (or have published on the results of such integrations). This talk will use case studies and associated implementation strategies to explore and narrow this gap in the research literature, thereby empowering participants to begin thinking about their own VR-based course integrations.

This event is co-sponsored by UCSC University Library, The Humanities Institute of UC Santa Cruz (THI), and The Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL).
 

Join us in the DSC to celebrate one of our very own geeky pleasures: Board Games!  Our day will be jam-packed for a day of board games talks and open gameplay in the DSC.  

The event is open to all.  Board games will be provided, along with knowledgeable faculty and librarians available to help you learn something new or rediscover an old favorite.  You are also welcome to bring your own board games to play in the space during the open play time.  See more information.

We hope to see you there!
