The College Archives contains many images documenting the annual ritual of move-in day, which has occurred on campus since our first dormitory, Jensen Hall, opened in 1965. Here are a couple of good shots from the recent past:<br />

In 1857, a group of local businessmen founded the Ethan Allen Fire Engine Company No. 4, a volunteer firefighting and men's social organization. The Company drew its name from its first horse-drawn fire engine, dubbed the "Ethan Allen" in honor of the colonial leader of the Green Mountain Boys.<br />
<br />
In 1889, the Company built a firehouse on Church Street, now Burlington City Arts' Firehouse Gallery. This postcard view from the early twentieth century shows the firehouse next to Burlington's old City Hall (which was replaced in 1928).<br />

After a series of devastating fires in 1895, Burlington residents voted to form a paid Fire Department, rendering the city's volunteer firefighting companies, including the Ethan Allen Company, obsolete. The Ethans vacated their firehouse and reinvented themselves as the Ethan Allen Club, a purely social organization. By this time, the Club had about two hundred members, among them prominent businessmen, bankers, and politicians. In 1905, the Club purchased and renovated an elegant Greek Revival style house on College Street dating to 1834 for its new clubhouse. It contained reception and banquet rooms, a basement bowling alley, billiards room, and a caretaker's apartment.<br />

NEW RESEARCH INTO THE EARLY HISTORY of Champlain College has
revealed that the College has admitted
women since its establishment in 1878. Champlain was founded as the
Burlington Collegiate Institute and Commercial College, a private, for-profit
school offering professional business training and college prep classes. An advertisement
for the 1878-1879 school year boasts: “This
institution offers unsurpassed facilities to either sex to obtain a thorough
education in either English commercial or classical branches, and prepare
students also for any first-class college.”<o:p></o:p></div>

In the late 1870s, only about thirty percent of American
colleges and universities admitted women. What is more, the very concept of higher education for women –much less coed
higher education –was still very much a matter of debate. In 1873, only
five years before Champlain was established, Boston physician Edward Clarke
argued that higher education for women on a level equal to men’s should be
discouraged, as rigorous intellectual activity would deplete their health and
ability to have children. Clarke proposed that a separate, watered-down
curriculum be designed for women. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet commercial
colleges like Champlain College were a different beast than traditional four-year undergraduate institutions. They provided
a comparatively short-term, economical, and practical course of study that primarily
attracted students from the lower and middle classes. Starting in the 1840s, hundreds
of commercial colleges were established across the country as the growing economy
led to an increased demand for office workers trained in bookkeeping, penmanship
(for legible business correspondence), stenography (shorthand), and later, typing
and telegraph and telephone operation. Commercial
colleges appealed to many nontraditional students seeking entry into the developing
clerical field: young men with limited means
or education, veterans returning from military service, workers aspiring to
move up the career ladder, and, by the 1870s, women who needed to earn a living.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Office work, particularly entry-level secretarial positions,
provided new professional opportunities for women – appealing alternatives to the
primary occupations open to them for much of the nineteenth century: domestic service,
sewing, textile machine operation, and teaching. As a result, female students were an important
demographic for commercial colleges, most of which were coed by the 1870s.<o:p></o:p></div>

Female enrollment in commercial colleges increased
dramatically in the last three decades of the nineteenth century, mirroring the
growing acceptance of women stenographers, typists, and bookkeepers. Nationally,<b> </b>15% of commercial college students
were female in 1882, and that had risen to 34% by 1898. In 1885, the earliest
year for which Champlain’s enrollment details are known, only 9 out of 62
students, or 14.5%, were women. In 1898, 41 out of 98 Champlain students, or
42%, were female. It is clear that in the late nineteenth century, Champlain offered important educational opportunities
for women, empowering them to enter the business world and begin to chip away
at its glass ceiling. <o:p></o:p><br />

Children’s books aren't always humorous – the books on display on the 3rd Floor of MIC demonstrate that children’s literature can also be powerfully healing for young ones who have experienced a difficult event. This beautiful collection showcases some of the library’s picture books about divorce, loss, adoption, illness, and unexpected change.

Perry Hall depicting three main ways of travel in, around, and through Burlington, Vermont.<br />
<br />
The most popular way to travel back in Burlington’s earlier days was by steamboat. It’s no surprise that mode of transportation was a huge hit because of Burlington’s location right on Lake Champlain. The most famous steamboat to run on the lake was the <i>Ticonderoga</i>, built in 1906, but sadly went out of business in 1950s due to more efficient ways to travel and has since retired to the <a href="http://www.shelburnemuseum.org/" target="_blank">Shelburne Museum</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another popular way to go from one place to another was by train. Even though the routes were mainly used for lumber transportation from the 1850s to the early 1900s, travelers used the Union Depot's services to travel from Burlington to other places in Vermont and New York. <span style="background-color: white;">About fifty years later the Union Depot was replaced by the Union Station, built in 1915, and continued to carry passengers until passenger train service was discontinued in 1953.</span></span><br />

The most recent way of transport introduced to Burlington is flight service. The Burlington Municipal Airport opened in 1920 and began to expand a few years later when flying became more popular. In<br />
1960, the name was changed to the Burlington International Airport by the Board of Alderman, the<br />
airport received its first commercial flight client, and more flights started to come in.<br />

A new mini exhibit of images from the College Archives, on display this semester on the first floor of Miller Information Commons, highlights College dorm life in the 1970s and 1980s.<br />
<br />
Besides the technological differences, life on campus was more regulated -- especially for women. Dorms were single-sex, students had curfews, and visitors (including fellow students of the same gender) were only allowed in common areas, during certain hours. Resident house mothers, the precursors to today's head residents, enforced the rules. Colleges across the country established strict policies like these following cultural expectations for them to act <i>in loco parentis, </i>or on behalf of parents. Curfews and visitation hours were relaxed by the late 1970s and eventually abolished, disappearing along with pay phones, record players, and typewriters.<br />
<br />
Students had fun regardless, and they brought a sense of style to their dorm rooms. The resident of this room decorated her bed and windows with a coordinating rainbow-themed set:<br />

Local photographer B. Benton Barker rushed over from his studio and home on College Street to capture the scene. He soon published his images of billowing smoke, firefighters, and spectators in a series of postcards that he sold.<br />

According to the <i>Burlington Weekly Free Press</i> of December 20, 1906, the hotel was gutted, and one hotel guest died. Several street-level shops and apartments at the rear of the building were also destroyed. Only a portion of the structure, the eastern section fronting on Main Street, survived the fire; it now contains the Flynn Theatre's FlynnSpace as well as several stores. In 1911, the Hotel Vermont, now the Vermont House, was constructed on the corner site. Another Burlington photographer, Charles H. Bessey, shot the Hotel Vermont soon after its construction was completed.<br />

This postcard from Champlain's Llewellyn Collection of Vermont History commemorates the moment when crowds gathered to watch soldiers march up Church Street. The following year, November 11 would become a national holiday honoring veterans, now known as Veterans Day.<br />

C.H. Bessey, the photographer who took this image, was probably standing in an upper-story window of what was then the Ethan Allen Fire House, now the Firehouse Gallery for Burlington City Arts. He aimed his camera down Church Street towards its intersection with Main Street. The three-story building on the corner with the flat roof, the 1876-1877 Exchange Block at 150-154 Church Street, remains standing.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In a 2012 post to his blog Don’s Desk, Champlain President Don Laackman
wrote of his quest to read more, “I don’t want to just read more; I want to
read more stuff with which I can connect. Books that move me, provoke me
and enrich me.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Which books are they? Please join us in welcoming President Laackman
as our next speaker in the Champlain College Library’s Meaningful Books
series. Don will highlight a set of titles that have been especially influential
in his career and life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">About Meaningful Books: Several years ago, Professor Jim Fry suggested that
the Library host displays and “books talks” showcasing members of the Champlain
College community and their choice of books: books they have found insightful,
influential, current, or just plain entertaining. Over the years, College faculty and
staff members have shared their most meaningful reads, inspiring all of us to think
more about our own reading, both past and future. </span><br />

There is another set of open access information available for faculty: open educational resources.<br />
<br />
<b>What is an Open Educational Resource (OER)?</b><br />
An open educational resource (OER for short) is a curriculum item that is freely available for use. In general, it is released with a more open <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/">Creative Commons</a> licensing structure that allows it to be reused and remixed with varying degrees of responsibility for attribution, re-mixing, and sharing. One can even mark an item as "public domain", which means that it is available for use without attribution and can be remixed and shared without breaking copyright.<br />
<br />
<b>Where can I find OERs for my courses?</b><br />
There are a number of great resources available for finding and sharing OERs. Here is just a small sampling:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://open4us.org/find-oer/">Open4Us.org</a>: Hosted by the Open Professionals Education network, this site is a resource for searching for OERs broken down by material type.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.oercommons.org/">OER Commons</a>: This site breaks down OERs by topic. You can also search geographically and by intellectual level. The content is shared under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC-BY-NC-SA) 3.0 License unless otherwise noted.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.oeconsortium.org/">Open Education Consortium</a>: This group aggregates content from a number of sources, including MIT's initiative called OpenCourseWare (OCW). </li>
<li><a href="http://collegeopentextbooks.org/">College Open Textbooks</a>: While it does not collect OER textbooks, COT points to the repositories and sites where OER textbooks are located, as well as advocating for creating more open resources for college students in particular.</li>
</ul>
SPARC has a great resource page to help you learn <a href="http://sparc.arl.org/issues/oer">more</a> about OERs and how to create your own - and how to get support for doing it.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How can I make sure the resources are worthwhile?</b></div>
<div>
Many OERs are peer-reviewed and carefully vetted before they are published in the open access world. As always in the academy, one must be careful to use sound professional judgment about sources; resources from proprietary publishers can sometimes have problems!</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Where can I find more?</b></div>
Many universities have offices devoted to scholarly publishing and open education. While we don't have one at Champlain, we can take advantage of the work that they're doing and publishing on the web.<br />
<br />
How might you use an OER in your course or in your classroom?

The implications of OA for scholarly research are wide-ranging, and interest in pursuing OA initiatives crosses all disciplinary lines. How Open Access will shape the future of scholarly communication remains to be seen, but most in the academic community have a thought or two on the matter. We caught up with Mike Lange, Associate Professor in the Core, to hear what he had to say.<br />

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The two fields of anthropology and folklore have taken fairly different stances toward Open Access. Anthropology has been more circumspect, while folklore has generally embraced the concept of Open Access. The reasons for the difference are many and varied, but one of the roots is the difference in attitudes historically in the two fields’ understandings of their role. Folklore has for a long time thought of its role as including more advocacy, and the collection and dissemination of the folk culture of (often) marginal or disenfranchised groups. That history makes a concept like Open Access a more natural extension of the attitudes of many folklorists. Anthro, on the other hand, does not have advocacy as thoroughly in its bones, and it is less focused historically collecting aspects of culture. So, the open dissemination part of Open Access does not resonate as loudly on anthro.</span> </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">To be honest, I think the benefits often espoused for Open Access formats are overblown. There is real benefit to a greater number of people doing real knowledge-making work having their work disseminated to an audience, but the “democratization of information” that is often put forward as part of Open Access is not that important, in my view. The openness of Open Access is more valuable on the production side than it is on the consumption side. Increased access to publishing opportunities for researchers is hugely important in the grand scheme of knowledge making (which is a major role for academia). More people being able to cast their eyes on an article matters less than more people being able to get their articles into the conversation. The idea that it is valuable for more people to read an article ignores that simply having access to read research does not equate to the research having a greater impact. A <u>critical, thinking</u> reader makes a difference, but just having more eyes does not because there is a difference between information and knowledge. In North America, the value of Open Access for students is pretty minimal because most students have access to non-open sources of research through subscriptions at their schools. For young scholars, the increased opportunity to disseminate their work afforded by Open Access venues is very valuable. Too often, the conversations about Open Access are framed only in terms of increased access for people to read the work. The real value is increasing access to publishing opportunities for real research.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As a librarian, I often think of Open Access as a potential teaching tool, not just a means of connecting students to scholarly sources. It’s a helpful way to get students to think about the scholarship they depend on for their coursework, to understand how it is produced, and how it fits into the ecosystem of higher education. In some ways, it touches on both information literacy and financial literacy.</span></b> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Conversations about Open Access can definitely be used as a teaching moment. The role that knowledge production plays in the making of their college experience is something Champlain talks too little about, and which ought to be incorporated more. </span></blockquote>

As Joanna pointed out yesterday, there are groups and tools to help students gain greater access to research materials they may be otherwise blocked from. Traditionally, such measures have not been as necessary for members of the research community, as they can appeal to their colleagues for access to materials that reside behind paywalls (or other barriers) in a way that most students cannot. The scholarly community has always been one predicated on a commitment to sharing ideas and resources; and yet, this network is never large enough or truly connected enough to overcome the barriers that currently exist.<br />
<br />
The thrust of the OA movement is to help overcome these barriers imposed by a traditional publishing model, give authors greater rights to share their work freely, and to create a system that more easily welcomes researchers from all corners of the research community. Last year, we looked at some of the <a href="http://librarynewsandevents.blogspot.com/2013/10/open-access-and-authors-rights.html" style="color: #1155cc;">tools and resources</a> available to individual authors who want to learn more about what OA can do for them. And as was pointed out on Monday, there are <a href="http://www.sparc.arl.org/COAPI" style="color: #1155cc;">coalitions</a> out there that are helping to formalize the process of adopting OA policies at the institutional level.<br />
<br />
It's all good food for thought. The landscapes of publishing, research, and higher education are transforming in response to new platforms for communication and growing financial pressures; Open Access inevitably will be a part of that transformation. It already is, in fact. How large a role it will play remains to be seen, but for now, we hope the progress for OA <i>and </i>the lively debates continue.<br />
<br />
And we hope that you will contribute to the debate, as well! If you would like to join the conversation or share your thoughts about Open Access, please do so in the comments section.<br />

Yesterday, Sean wrote about some of the basic ideas surrounding OA and also introduced some of the groups working toward greater access to research.<br />
<br />
The Right to Research Coalition (R2RC) is one of these, and it is entirely student-driven! Focused on their <a href="http://www.righttoresearch.org/about/statement/index.shtml">statement</a> as a call for action, the R2RC works to enhance student awareness, understanding, and support of the OA movement in scholarship and research. The basic principle is this: If you don't know the research is there, how can you build upon it to make progress in your work, or to be fully informed on an issue as you are assembling your arguments?<br />
<br />
To that end, another group of students in the UK developed the concept for the <a href="https://openaccessbutton.org/about">Open Access Button</a>. This is a bookmarklet that allows you to track articles that you were not able to retrieve in the course of your research. It is designed to be compatible with any browser and uses HTTPS to provide privacy and security for you. The team behind the OA Button will email the author of a journal article or thesis on your behalf to ask for an open copy of the article that you wish to retrieve. This method is preferable to seeking access from others in another part of your academic community in a way that could violate terms of service or publishing agreements for the item, and thus unwittingly land you and your colleague in legal hot water.<br />
<br />
And now for a little history.... <br />
<br />
A central figure in activism around issues of Open Access is Aaron Swartz. He is a figure important to the early Internet, having co-developed RSS, worked on the tenets of Creative Commons open licensing, and co-founded Reddit, all before the age of 19. Swartz moved from programming to political activism, notably campaigning against the passage of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).<br />
<br />
In 2011, he was arrested for downloading several million articles from JSTOR, the online humanities journal database, by connecting through MIT’s network and running a script to gather material continuously. In all, he retrieved <a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/03/29/the-inside-story-mit-and-aaron-swartz/YvJZ5P6VHaPJusReuaN7SI/story.html">80% of their total content</a>. In January 2013, at the age of 26, he committed suicide while facing trial on multiple felony counts associated with his actions. Though he returned the files to JSTOR, which then opposed the public prosecution, federal investigators continued to pursue the case against him. It is not known whether he took his life out of fear and exhaustion, or whether there were other circumstances surrounding his <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/03/11/requiem-for-a-dream">death</a>. In any case, academics and activists alike continue to discuss his work, what it means to the Open Access movement, and celebrate his contributions to the cause.<br />
<br />
Brian Knappenberger crowdsourced funding for a documentary about Swartz. It is available through Archive.org as a <a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">download</a>. The Electronic Frontier Foundation also has information about how to organize a screening of the film, along with study guides and discussion questions <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/09/host-screening-and-discussion-about-internets-own-boy">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/colombian-student-faces-prison-charges-sharing-academic-article-online">Diego Gomez</a> is another individual who is in a similar position to Swartz, although his case involves the posting of a single article to Scribd for download by other researchers in his field who have difficulty accessing academic materials. The OA Button's availability makes a great difference to scholars in foreign countries that may not have the kind of ubiquitous access that we do in most academic communities in the US.<br />
<br />
When looking for research materials to which we may not have access directly at Champlain, the Open Access Button and your library's interlibrary loan (ILL) departments are your best bets to avoid finding yourself on the wrong side of the law. That being said, there is a great push in the academic community, particularly among the sciences, to post articles to open access journals and databases, rather than in subscription-only services. Mike Lange will share his thoughts and experiences with OA scholarship tomorrow.Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247238774040762440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720153497553830385.post-31724134576099779162014-10-20T12:54:00.003-07:002014-10-20T12:55:58.816-07:00Welcome to Open Access Week at the MIC!<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #d52a33; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;">

What do a calligrapher, typewriter salesman, co-owner of a family business, peace corps volunteer, and college professor have in common? They all went on to become president of Champlain College. Remarkably, only eight men have held the position in the 136 years of the College's existence. A new exhibit in the Tower Room of Miller Information Commons, <i>Visionary Leaders: Champlain's Past Presidents</i>, profiles the seven leaders who paved the way for Champlain's new President, Donald Laackman.
