Abstract
A robust corpus exists on Open Access (OA) spending within libraries, however there is less
literature on assessing OA expenditures across colleges and universities. Due to the nature of the
fragmented and uneven investment in OA, researchers are likely not optimizing institutional
resources on Article Processing Charges (APCs) as part of the open access environment. This
article describes how personnel at University of Oregon Libraries built a Power BI model to
encapsulate and visualize our institution’s open access outlay as well as apprise researchers of their
options for selecting OA publication venues based on APCs and impact metrics.
