I’m glad someone’s at last come out and said this. I remember going to a ‘Repositories Service Day’ at my institution, Nottingham University, and was so completely lost and befuddled by the discussions that I left at lunchtime. It was very plain to me then that there’s a vast qualitative difference between using repositories for scholarly works (journal articles, theses, papers, etc) and learning resources/objects. The audience is different, the requirements are different, the metadata schemas are very different, and more often than not the technology is different. This has also come across to me from the discussions on the jisc-repositories@jiscmail list, which is almost exclusively dedicated to archiving and cataloguing scholarly works. Those who maintain and develop learning object repositories, as I have to do, really are a separate community, and we need our own ‘space’ to discuss and share, separate from the community devoted to open access scholarly repositories.

Ah, I feel so much better now that I’ve ‘come out’ with you :)

Fred

“It’s just not true that open access isn’t about the journal literature. There are salient and cogent (if not necessarily good) reasons that it is, no matter the chosen road, no matter the rhetoric. What is it we’re asking faculty to self-archive? Theses and dissertations, yes; faculty are much happier mandating somebody else’s behavior than their own. It’s not faculty’s books, though, for economic and public-relations reasons. It’s not their learning objects; that’s Somebody Else’s Problem.”

I agree that open access “isn’t about” learning objects but I’m still a bit concerned about whose problem they actually are!
