Library as Publisher

Timothy S. Deliyannides, Director, Office of Scholarly
Communication and Publishing
and Head, Information Technology, University of Pittsburgh

Academic libraries are increasingly investing in new efforts
to support their research and teaching faculty in the
activities they care about most.  Learn why becoming a
publisher can help meet the most fundamental needs of your
research community and at the same time can help transform
today’s inflationary cost model for serials.  We will
explore not only why to become a publisher but exactly how
to achieve it, step by step, including careful selection of
publishing partners, choosing the right platform for
manuscript submission and editorial workflow management, 
one-time processes to launch a new journal, conducting peer
reviews, maintaining academic quality, and measuring impact.
 We’ll also cover the broader range of publishing
activities where libraries can have an impact, including
open access monographs, general institutional repositories
and subject-based author self-archiving repositories.  We
will close with a review of tools, services, and communities
of support to nurture the new library publishing venture.

Copyright in Practice: A Participatory Workshop

Kevin Smith, Scholarly Communications Officer, Duke
University

Copyright presentations often focus on “the rules”
without sufficient attention to practical decision-making. 
Yet because application of the law so often depends on
specific facts and circumstances, this approach can leave a
big gap for actual library practice.  This workshop will
focus on situations and how to make specific decisions;
discussion of the rules and principles of copyright law
will, it is hoped, emerge from those applications.  Although
common situations will be discussed in order to provide a
comprehensive look at copyright decision making,
participants are encourage to bring real-life problems for
the group to consider and discuss.
