How to Use the IR@UF: Uploading Content and Rights Management (with Christy Shorey, IR Manager)
The Institutional Repository (IR@UF) is a library sponsored digital archive for the scholarly works generated at the University of Florida by faculty, staff and students. This workshop will introduce the kinds of materials housed in IR@UF and demonstrate the process for uploading content into the IR via the self-submittal tool. Further, this workshop will explain the use and application of the new rights management statements incorporated into the IR@UF as well as UF’s greater Digital Library. Usage of appropriate rights management statements better inform users of UF’s digital collections of the copyright status of items that have been uploaded and shared as well as inform uses as to how that content may be reused.

Sharing Scholarship and Reaching Research: Open Access 101
Traditionally, scholarly research has been available only through expensive journal subscriptions. However, the open access movement promotes that high quality, peer-reviewed research and journals should be available to everyone online for free immediately after publication. In this workshop, participants will learn more about the ideals of open access, the major statements of open access, the varieties of open access, and legislation for public access to federally funded research. This workshop is for anyone at UF who has never heard of or knows very little about the open access initiative and wishes to learn more.
