Exploring Open Research Information Infrastructure: Joining the OpenAlex Community and launching our systemwide pilot
CDL is committed to supporting open research information infrastructure and exploring building open systems. Last year, through our Open Research Information (ORI) Connect initiative, we examined the mix of open and proprietary tools that CDL uses to support business intelligence, discovery, and scholarly communications. As part of that process, we took stock of the tools we use and concluded that, in order to make good on our organizational commitment to open scholarship, we need to be much more deliberate about committing ourselves to the use of open infrastructure wherever possible. That’s why we’re excited to share that CDL has joined […]

Advancing Open Research Information at CDL
As a part of our mission to amplify the impact of the libraries, scholarship, and resources of the University of California (UC), the California Digital Library (CDL) invests heavily in creating and supporting open technologies, open access models, and open infrastructures. But like many libraries around the world, CDL also relies on proprietary systems and depends on closed sources of information. These systems often control essential data about our scholarly outputs and shape how we understand the reach and impact of UC’s research. Tools like these fall into the category of “research information systems,” a space that includes citation indices, […]

Pathways to Open Access: Open Infrastructure and CDL
The Pathways blog series highlights CDL’s efforts on various pathways to open access and illustrates how diverse approaches can complement and reinforce each other–and how they can raise productive tensions that push us to think more critically about the work we do. We believe this kind of approach can move us toward true and comprehensive transformation of the scholarly communications landscape. What is the strategy described in this post? In this post, we focus on open infrastructure. While this topic is not always prominent in discussions about open access, it has become an essential part of our strategy at CDL and underpins […]
