| Descripción: | The advent of policies at research-funding organizations requiring grantees to make their funded research openly accessible alters the life cycle of scholarly research. This survey-based study explores the approaches that libraries and research administration offi ces at the major Canadian universities are employing to support the research-production cycle in an open access era and, in particular, to support researcher adherence to funder open-access requirements. Responses from 21 universities indicated that librarians feel a strong sense of mandate to carry out open access-related activities and provide research supports, while research administrators have a lower sense of mandate and awareness and instead focus largely on assisting researchers with securing grant funding. Canadian research universities already contain infrastructure that could be leveraged to support open access, but maximizing these opportunities requires that research administration offices and university libraries work together more synergistically than they have done traditionally. L’apparition de politiques provenant d’organismes de fi nancement en recherches qui obligent les récipiendaires de rendre les résultats de leur recherche libre à l’accès, a un impacte sur le cycle de vie de la recherche académique. Ce sondage national en ligne explore les mesures prises par les bibliothèques et les administrateurs universitaires de la recherche oeuvrant dans des grandes universités du Canada pour appuyer le cycle de production de recherche dans une ère d’accès libre, et en particulier les mesures appuyant l’adhésion des chercheurs aux exigences d’accès libre de leur agence subventionnaire. Les réponses de la part de 21 universités canadiennes indiquent que les bibliothécaires sont fortement motivées à offrir des activités reliées à l’accès libre ainsi qu’à offrir de l’appui à la recherche, tandis que les administrateurs démontrent un engagement moins élevé à cet égard et se concentrent principalement à aider les chercheurs à obtenir des subventions. Les universités canadiennes de recherche possèdent déjà des infrastructures pouvant être exploitées pour soutenir l’accès libre. Cependant, afi n de maximiser ces opportunités, cela nécessitera un travail partagé entre les bibliothécaires et les administrateurs de la recherche qui est beaucoup plus conjoint qu’antérieurement. |
