As college becomes more expensive, textbooks have increasingly become part of the problem. But Open Access texts offer a promising solution, providing high quality teaching materials at no cost to students. Open Access sources in musicology including scholarly journals, monographs, and textbooks are becoming increasingly popular within the field for research and pedagogical use. These digital, online, free, and less restricted sources (in terms of copyright) are supported by many scholars due to their possible ability to create a global scholarly community, and, of course, their cost effectiveness and ease of access for students. There are, however, still misconceptions around how Open Access sources are funded, and questions about how they differ from traditional scholarly publications specifically in their relationship toward authors potential to gain tenure. Since Open Access sources are becoming more prevalent, it is also important to highlight what materials are available for research and use in the music history classroom.
This CAMPE roundtable discussion will bring together a diverse collection of guests with experience in Open Access publishing including University Press editors, journal editors, textbook authors, and music program administrators. The first half of the roundtable will be dedicated to discussing the merits and challenges of creating Open Access materials. The second half will focus on the many, varied Open Access sources available to scholars and educators with examples of how they are being used in the classroom and beyond. The participants will share their expertise and encourage audience participation in the form of questions and knowledge sharing.
The roundtable discussion participants include the Senior Acquiring Editor at University of Michigan Press, who will discuss her leadership in Open Access publishing; a co-founder of the journal Open Access Musicology; and the co-author of an Open Access edited collection Sounding Together: Collaborative Perspectives on U.S. Music in the 21st Century. Two authors of Open Access textbooks will discuss their experiences publishing their materials. The creator of FORUMS (Free and Open Resources for Undergraduate Music Study), who also has many years of experience teaching with Open Access materials, will share her teaching strategies with those in attendance.
