This thesis investigates the role of research institutions in Germany in transforming scholarly publishing
from subscription to Open Access in the field of scientific journals. Open Access transformation aims
to overcome the traditional subscription model to further innovative methods of digital scholarly communication.
The study examines the options open to higher education institutions and research performing organizations for shaping the Open Access transformation. The thesis presents a description of these options
in the areas of strategy and communication, services and infrastructures, business relations with publishers and cooperation. Then, the implementation of these options in practice was analyzed. For this
purpose, a survey was conducted among 701 academic institutions in Germany. The response rate of
403 responding institutions (57.49%) can be considered very positive.
This survey, which is probably the most comprehensive on the subject to date, shows that higher education institutions and research performing organizations in Germany have so far implemented only a
few options for promoting Open Access.
While the distribution of Open Access repositories is positive, the handling of Open Access publication
charges and the associated monitoring of publication costs are still at the beginning. The results of the
survey indicate a high need for action.
The presented quantitative survey closes the gap of missing data on Open Access in Germany. Based
on this new dataset, the study formulates recommendations for further engagement with the Open Access transformation at research institutions in Germany. One focus is on activities that arise in the area
of academic libraries.
The aim of this work is to unfold the image of libraries and librarians on German television. In the theoretical part, the topics library and librarian are outlined cursory, as well as a brief description of the current state of research. In the empirical part, a content analysis of television broadcasts follows, which looks at broadcasts from the years 2015 and 2016. The outgoing research question of how libraries and librarians are portrayed in contemporary television broadcasts will be examined using the method of standardized content analysis. In addition to quantitative analytical methods, methods of qualitative analysis are also used. The results show a quite differentiated picture of libraries and librarians according to fictional genres and non-fictional formats. Overall, the picture of libraries is neutral to rather positive, and the image of the librarians is predominantly positive in the underlying broadcasts.
