Since 2011
Lucy Duhon has been Scholarly Communications Librarian for the University Libraries at The University of Toledo. Prior to this role, she managed traditional journal and electronic resource collections for the libraries. Ms. Duhon also serves as subject liaison to the UT Art Department.
During her first year in this new role, Ms. Duhon formed an open access steering committee which conducted an institution-wide survey which gathered information on the practice and perceptions of open access scholarship and publishing by faculty and researchers at The University of Toledo. This was followed in 2012 with a local mini-conference on open access scholarship. The University Libraries are currently investigating options for an institutional repository. The adoption of an open access policy, with a formal mechanism for funding OA scholarship at the institutional level remains the biggest challenge. Possible approaches to this challenge will be discussed.
