    OCLC Systems & Services: International digital library perspectives, 2015
    Co-Authors: Kelly Riddle
    Abstract:

    Purpose – This paper aims to explore questions and concepts encountered when developing policies for an institutional repository with a Library Publishing component. Design/methodology/approach – The author describes how Publishing needs and Library vision shape institutional repository policies, and demonstrates that the repository’s guiding policies are determined by the repository’s purpose and scope. Findings – Policies for institutional repositories with Publishing components will vary across institutions depending on the intended purpose of the repository, scope of Publishing activities and institutional context. Originality/value – The article is useful for those just exploring Library Publishing with repositories and those looking to revamp their policies to accommodate this new use, the paper explores theoretical and practical questions about this new use of repositories.

  • Library Publishing Services: Strategies for Success: Final Research Report
    2015
    Co-Authors: Joyce L. Ogburn
    Abstract:

    This report briefly presents the findings and recommendations of the "Library Publishing Services: Strategies for Success" project which investigated the extent to which Publishing has now become a core activity of North American academic libraries and suggested ways in which further capacity could be built. The research described (consisting of a survey, some case studies, three workshops, and a set of further reading recommendations) was mainly conducted between October 1, 2010, and September 30, 2011. It was supported by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Libraries Studies, made to Purdue University Libraries in collaboration with the Libraries of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah.

  • Library Publishing Services: Strategies for Success Research Report Version 1.0
    2011
    Co-Authors: James L. Mullins, Julie Speer, Catherine Murray-rust, Joyce L. Ogburn, Raym Crow, October Ivins, Allyson Mower, Mark P. Newton, Daureen Nesdill, Charles Watkinson
    Abstract:

    Over the past five years, libraries have begun to expand their role in the scholarly Publishing value chain by offering a greater range of pre-publication and editorial support services. Given the rapid evolution of these services, there is a clear community need for practical guidance concerning the challenges and opportunities facing Library-based Publishing programs.Recognizing that Library Publishing services represent one part of a complex ecology of scholarly communication, Purdue University Libraries, in collaboration with the Libraries of Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Utah, secured an IMLS National Leadership Grant under the title “Library Publishing Services: Strategies for Success.” The project, conducted between October 2010 and September 2011, seeks to advance the professionalism of Library-based Publishing by identifying successful Library Publishing strategies and services, highlighting best practices, and recommending priorities for building capacity.The project has four components: 1) a survey of librarians designed to provide an overview of current practice for Library Publishing programs (led by consultant October Ivins); 2) a report presenting best practice case studies of the Publishing programs at the partner institutions (written by consultant Raym Crow); 3) a series of workshops held at each participating institution to present and discuss the findings of the survey and case studies; and 4) a review of the existing literature on Library Publishing services. The results of these research threads are pulled together in this project white paper.

  • establishing Library Publishing best practices for creating successsful journal editors
    International Conference on Electronic Publishing, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jeangabriel Bankier, Courtney Smith
    Abstract:

    Library Publishing is a hot topic. We compiled the results of interviews with librarians and editors who are currently Publishing journals with the Digital Commons platform. While the research and illustrations in this paper originate from Digital Commons subscriber interviews, we think the lessons and trends we’ve identified can serve as a roadmap for all librarians looking to provide successful Publishing services to their faculty. Successful journal Publishing appears to rely greatly upon the librarian hitting the pavement and promoting. The librarian must be ready to invest time and commit to a multi-year view. With support and encouragement, faculty will begin journals. The librarian can then use these early successes as showcases for others. While the first editors get involved in Publishing because they believe in open-access or are looking to make a mark, for future editors the most powerful motivator is seeing the success of their peers. Publishing becomes viral, and the successful librarian encourages this.
