3. America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010
(Public Law 111-358)
On January
4, 2011, President
Obama signed into
law the America
COMPETES
Reauthorization Act
“The law enacted two open access-related initiatives:
of 2010.
● The law establishes a working group to coordinate federal
science agency research and policies related to the
dissemination and long-term stewardship of the results of
federally supported unclassified research.
● The law requires the Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP), in consultation with relevant federal agencies, to
develop formal policies for the management and use of federal
scientific collections, including policies for the disposal of
collections, and to create an online clearinghouse for
information on the contents of and access to federal

scientific collections.”

5. Open Access Memorandum
John P. Holdren, Director of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy, answers a “We the People” petition
and creates a memorandum on February 22, 2013.
Open Access Compliant
Working in collaboration with the Scholarly
Communications Librarian, offer sessions on how t
o comply with OA mandates, deposit materials into
institutional repositories, and negotiate with
publishers, as well as create publishing checklists
and other tools to assist in meeting federal funding
regulatory requirements pertaining to open access
and open data.

8. Positions on the 21st Century Library
Lead and motivate staff, perform outreach to build faculty-library staff-student
communication strategies and relationships, as well as facilitate STEM education through
the utilization of the library and computer technologies for e-science research
Teach students to critically evaluate and creatively integrate
information to create new knowledge, discoveries, inventions
Engender responsibility by integrating intellectual and
emotional through understanding of ethical, legal, and global
implications
Focus on community and creation
Produce documents reflecting 21st century skills (vision, mission, strategic plan) and
communicate progress regularly on achievements
Establish multiple access points and blended learning environments (digital and physical)
Vigorously pursue sustainability efforts: fundraising, partnerships with other institutions and
co-create / co-deliver workshops and trainings
Utilize physical spaces for audience engagement, participation, and immersion

13. Utilize Technology for Invention, Mobility,
Cost and Energy Savings
• Integrating potentially new and
innovative emerging technologies
that either promotes among
library users financially viable
product creation through
design, testing, and marketing
(such as
3D scanning and printing tabletopsized stations or new surface
displays and interactive computing
surfaces), or saves the library
money (like energy savings – use
of sensors for monitoring and
controlling temperature and
lighting; solar thermal options like
current Florida Public Service
Commission solar water heating
rebate of $50,000 per site)
Peripherals
• Offering a variety of free and
Envisiontec 3D-Bioplotter
open source library
(prints biological matter
mobile applications using
and living tissue)
PhoneGap (HTML, CSS,
JS), Objective-C, Java Copyright © 2013 Shannon Bohle. All rights reserved.
Makerbot 3D Printer
(prints biodegradable polymer)

14. Training Students to Use Technology
• Collaborating with the computer
laboratory in the same building
to promote and offer training
sessions on the utilization of
scientific computing
(such as 3D modeling and
simulation software, CAD, data
analysis and visualization
software, R, MATLAB, Emacs, Li
nux, Unix shell scripting for
scientists, Python, regular
expressions, distributed
computing, Hadoop, and working
with Big Data, formulating
strategies for data re-use)

15. Training Students to be Self-Directed
Self-Orientation: Scavenger Hunt with Prizes
http://youtu.be/-o8mUyq_Wwg
1) Find and utilize print and digital resources
2) Improve skills in scientific writing and public
presentation through selecting appropriate
conferences; facilitating the
layout, design, and printing resources for the
presentation of scientific posters; integrating
new technologies; and offering tips and
practice sessions on giving public talks
3) Write a scientific CV/resume
4) Promote published books and articles
through social media and other resources

16. Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Create a STEM Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center
Entrepreneurial Skills
Why? To bring knowledge and
inventions from academia to the
marketplace, and assist students in the
development of innovation and
entrepreneurship skills, such as learning
how to file a copyright when selfpublishing and understanding the
patenting process, because many science
students will find employment after
graduation in areas where these skills
are in high demand.
