It's amazing how quickly a year has passed, with life returning to 'normal' in many parts of the world. It is equally encouraging to see how the Eurasian Academic Libraries Conference continues to elevate library and information sciences as a field in this part and around the world. This year's theme, “Open Access to Knowledge and Libraries: Achievements and Trends”, has attracted numerous submissions, and I would like to congratulate the reviewers and the rest of the organizing committee for their fantastic work in selecting the best papers for the conference from 2022.
Special mention goes to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Association of University Libraries of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Nazarbayev University Library. We are pleased that the Eurasian Academic Libraries Conference (EALC) 2022 is back on site for the 11th year since the start of the pandemic. As we optimistically approach the end of the pandemic, libraries should focus on creating OA repositories and digital OA collections.
We would like to express special thanks to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Association of University Libraries in the Republic of Kazakhstan for their support in the organization of EALC 2022. Knowledge is no longer deleted: "OPENNESS" of the Oriental Institute of the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic.
OPEN ACCESS, OPEN DATA AND OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
OUT IN THE OPEN
OPEN ACCESS AND SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING Moderator: Assemgul Temirkhanova, Head of Acquisition and Library activity
On behalf of the Association of University Libraries of the Republic of Kazakhstan, I welcome the participants of the XI Eurasian Conference of Academic Libraries (EALC-2022) "Open Access to Knowledge and Libraries: Achievements and Trends". In the US it is 70 years after the author's death and has been widely used internationally. A university can also deploy its own instance of Dataverse and use the software to share academic research data.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a broad overview of the past, present and future scholarly communication landscape from the unique perspective of an academic research library director. Depending on how far back one wants to reach, its origins can be traced back to the emergence of the first trade journals in the 17th century (Regazzi, 2015, p. 2). Modern conceptions and common use of the phrase "scholarly communication" arose in the 1970s with a growing discussion of the challenges of the traditional scholarly publishing model.
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) first formally defined scholarly communication in 2003, spurred by developments in the digital age (https://acrl.libguides.com/scholcomm/toolkit). The purpose of this paper is to provide a conversational overview of the past, present and future scholarly communication landscape from the unique, first-hand perspective of an academic research library director.

Open Access Agenda
The concept of open access is connected to the field of movements in the global research community. Open science involves various movements that aim to remove the barriers to sharing any kind of output, resources, methods or tools at any stage of the research process (FOSTER, [2020]). As such, open access to publications, open research data, open source software, open collaboration, open peer review, open notebooks, open educational resources, open monographs, citizen science, or research crowdfunding fall within the boundaries of open science, although, especially for the library and information domain , the focus is usually placed on two of these movements: open research data and open access to scientific publications.
In the Czech Republic, specifically at the Academy of Sciences, practice mainly works within these three concepts: open access, open data and the European infrastructure (OpenAire). Open access is permanent and provides free online access to documents (particularly full texts) for all users. On September 14, 2010, the Academic Council of the Czech Academy of Sciences adopted the CAS Open Access Policy.
Open Access Projects at the Oriental Institute of CAS
It currently contains information on 27,488 individuals, 45,858 organizations and 2,740 different positions within the organizations, which can be accessed at http://tbio.orient.cas.cz/. TBIO is a graph database that combines six datasets of approx. 19,000 personal records, which is an open platform for researchers to use and contribute their own datasets, offering a range of analytical instruments that can be freely adapted to support research at the intersection of history, sociology, literary history and digital humanities. TBIO is a tool that can be used to identify and relate a group of people or characters to specific social groups in Taiwan.
By enabling users to systematically relate common features in individuals' lives to each other, such as place of birth, education, occupation, marriage, family background, and social status, TBIO reveals sociologically significant patterns through a positional analysis of the author's social involvements, allowing us to we treat them as proxies for different types of social, cultural, economic and political capital (Chen & Dluhošová 2022), which can also be useful in the development of related studies. One of the main features that helped develop and build the Tadhkira supra-regional library across space and time was the way the texts served as a collection that was used to create new works (Schwartz, 2020a). In its simplest form, this comprehensive information can be useful for scoping or analyzing citations on a topic.
For Timelines it can be used for different purposes: quantitative, visualizing individual items in aggregation, and for sampled or composite groups, providing an overview or simplifying presentations (Fig. 4). The dictionary allows searching in English, Czech and Tibetan scripts, as well as the international Wylie transliteration (Fig. 4). The contextual online dictionary started in 2017 as a collaborative project between the Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Linguatools Berlin.
Digitization of OI publications Open access copies of the Institute's official publication can be accessed through the Digital Library of the Czech Academy of Sciences. There are two Institute publications in which the majority of the editions have been digitized. This publication started in 1929 and is considered one of the oldest scientific journals in the fields of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
One of the OI's initiatives is to make some of the rare collections accessible to the public. The current collection includes Chinese manuscripts published in the mid-18th century and gazetteers dating as early as 1760. This is an ongoing project of the library and can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/4dyxne9d.
Librarians in the Open Access Agenda
Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Analytical Support Ural Federal University, Russian Federation. An attempt has been made to demonstrate the link between the work done and the repository's position in the world. At URFU we are responsible for the operation of the institutional repository and are not part of the library structure.
It should be noted that we have always been in the TOP50 in the world, and in the latest edition we are in the TOP25. The information literacy movement in the school library media field: a preliminary summary of the research. This paper provides an overview of the development of open access (OA) and open educational resources (OER) in Kyrgyzstan.
Then, with initial practical experience, came the understanding of what the role of the university library should be in the direction of open educational resources. From the beginning, the foundation was formed by leading scientists in the profile of the university. The repository of the university is called the SPbPU Electronic Library, the resource is registered in the national database register.
Moving on to the experience of the Polytechnic in the existing context, let's focus on just one object of the university's information infrastructure – the repository, called the SPbPU electronic library. It should be noted that this collection is not available in the public domain since 2020 by the decision of the university administration. He completed both his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Master of Education (Mathematics) at the University of the Philippines in the Visayas.
Before joining OI, she was the senior librarian at the University of the South Pacific (Vanuatu), expert manager at Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan), the director of Thomas Jefferson Information Center US Embassy Manila and director of the University of Iloilo Learning Resource Center (Philippines). Jyldyz Bekbalaeva is the director of the library at the American University of Central Asia, where she manages library services and resources. Jyldyz is actively involved in the activities of the Library and Information Consortium of Kyrgyzstan.
She was awarded the Certificate of Honor of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2017), the Recognition of the Governor of the Novosibirsk region (2017). She is also a part-time lecturer in the Department of Library and Information Science at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
