Tactics
Tying to actions works well
For example, having draft OA policies
![Page 6: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Tactics (2)
Try to actively engage your target audience: not only in a group but also one-
on-one
Work with OA supporters from the faculty as champions in your advocacy
activities
![Page 7: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tactics (3)
It is very efficient to present case studies of OA repositories and OA journals to
research communities
Live examples are always powerful
Demonstration of already established OA repositories/journals advocates for itself
![Page 8: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“Presentations about OA inspired us to launch a new OA journal “Tobacco Control and Public Health in Eastern Europe” and register it in the Directory of OA Journals”

Tactics (4)
When OA is a new concept for the audience, try present the topic of OA along with other more familiar issues that have gained some
attention
![Page 10: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations
The right timing for proposing an OA policy is extremely important
When working with university administrators (or any major stakeholders) you should be
aware of their priorities
![Page 12: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (2)
Any institutional-level advocacy project should be designed for multi-stakeholder
communities
![Page 13: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (3)
Try to start planning all project activities as early as possible, especially main
events like workshops
Try to avoid last minute rush
![Page 14: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (4)
Research lunches proved to be a big
success
![Page 15: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (5)
In-person visits with directors/leadership of departments and institutions is a very
effective way to cultivate a shared understanding of the concept of OA, as
well as to get a buy-in
![Page 16: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (6)
It is possible to achieve ambitious objectives on a tight budget when the enthusiasm is
there as a driving force
However, it is extremely important that there is a strong institutional commitment to the
project when trying to develop an OA infrastructure from scratch
![Page 17: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (7)
It is absolutely necessary to have a trained team available with the required
technical and managerial capacities
Training of the trainers is necessary
![Page 18: Libraries advocating for open access: Best practices and lessons learnt Iryna Kuchma EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Attribution 3.0 Unported](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b77dd550346d6338b51c7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Challenges, Lessons Learnt & Recommendations (8)
Plan continued advocacy activities and don't limit your strategy to one event
