PROGRAM DESCRIPTON:
Online publication and the
potential role of university libraries in that process is a recent development
and an ongoing challenge. The UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology is a digitally
born publication in two versions. The UEE Open Version is published through
eScholarship, a platform of the University of California: http://escholarship.org/ The UEE Full
Version is a much more interactive web page which enables map searches, shows
the ontology, and enables annotations, to name just a few of the “advanced”
aspects. All of the assets are stored in the UCLA Digital Library and are drawn
on the fly into the web interface. The UEE Open Version has not yet been made
available, because of an ongoing discussion with several academic publishers on
generating sufficient income to sustain a continuous process of updating
through a subscription model. The presentation will discuss the actions, the
workflow, and the different financial models.
Best,
Esther
