Objective – This study analyzes scholarly publications supported by library open access funds, including author demographics, journal trends, and article impact. It also identifies and summarizes open access fund criteria and viability. The goal is to better understand the sustainability of open access funds, as well as identify potential best practices for institutions with open access funds. Methods – Publication data was solicited from universities with open access (OA) funds, and supplemented with publication and author metrics, including Journal Impact Factor, Altmetric Attention Score, and author h-index. Additionally, data was collected from OA fund websites, including fund criteria and guidelines. Results – Library OA funds tend to support faculty in science and medical fields. Impact varied widely, especially between disciplines, but a limited measurement indicated an overall smaller relative impact of publications funded by library OA funds. Many open access funds operate using similar criteria related to author and publication eligibility, which seem to be largely successful at avoiding the funding of articles published in predatory journals. Conclusions – Libraries have successfully funded many publications using criteria that could constitute best practices in this area. However, institutions with OA funds may need to identify opportunities to increase support for high-impact publications, as well as consider the financial stability of these funds. Alternative models for OA support are discussed in the context of an ever-changing open access landscape.

This report, written by three students in digital publication master’s in ENSSIB (Lyon), offers a glimpse of the conference Open Access, social and solidarity economy, editorial choices – new faces of scientific publishing which took place on November 4th, 2020, as part of the Jacques Cartier Interviews – an annual meeting of economic, institutional and academic actors from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France), from Quebec and from Ottawa, to talk about innovation. This webinar gave the floor to five speakers representing various structures in the field of scientific publishing in humanities and social sciences, showing the bibliodiversity currently existing in this sector. The speakers presented the innovation and experiments that they are currently carrying out, both economically, with ethical ambitions that commit them to becoming active members of the Open Access movement or of social and solidarity economy, as on the editorial plan, by adopting new practices and new tools.

Emotions not only take us deeper in but also reveal larger political and historical structures that dominate how the Grades 4 to 6 newcomers with emerging print literacy in this study shape their literacy practices. Following a humanizing approach, I conducted three qualitative, critical case studies in Ontario urban schools. Data collection tools included in this article include plurilingual texts, focus group interviews and field notes. Through a thematic deductive analysis, themes emerged such as desire and written English, and print literacy humiliation. Moving away from historically oppressive, English-only structures in the classrooms, created more excitement and pride around writing and language.

This article relates a pedagogical approach to exploring current directions in the art made with walrus ivory in Chukotka, Russia. Noting the unprecedented and rapidly expanding diversity in the forms and techniques documented over the course of recent ethnographic research, the article outlines a set of ideas and contexts helpful in examining contemporary practices in walrus ivory art. These include a present-day ethnography of the buyer market and its influence on artistic production, a chronology of pertinent developments during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, and the author's take, as that of a practicing artist, on differentiating between the formal and conceptual functions of the imagery found in Bering Strait archaeological materials and the recontextualization of this imagery within present-day practices in Chukotka.
