Tiivistelmä
The Open Access Button is a browser-based tool that aims to show the global effects of research paywalls and help users get access to the research they need. Users install the Button and click it whenever they reach a journal article to which they have no access, and the Button logs the problem and searches for an Open Access version of the article to present to the user. So far, the Open Access Button has mapped over 4000 paywalls hit by users.
This workshop will demonstrate what the Open Access Button is, what it intends to do, the functionality of the current beta version of the Button tool, how this is relevant to repositories and how conference attendees can be involved in developing new functions for the new version of the Button. I am a researcher and librarian and I have worked in a repository and CRIS environment, so understand the issues from multiple angles.
