Building our Program: First Steps Survey Publishing Activity on Campus Explore how we can support scholarly publishing Evaluate Software Platforms Identify Campus Partners

Some Journals at KU

New Roles for Libraries Providing stewardship over locally produced scholarship and ensuring that it is accessible to an external, worldwide audience Working directly with faculty and research units before and during the creation and pre-publication stage of research.

Digital Publishing Services provides support to the KU community for the design, management and distribution of online publications, including journals, conference proceedings, monographs, and other scholarly content. We help scholars explore new and emerging publishing models in our changing scholarly communication environment, and help monitor and address campus concerns and questions about electronic publishing. These services are intended to enable online publishing for campus publications, and help make their content available in a manner that promotes increased visibility and access, and ensures long- term stewardship of the materials.

Technical Implementation Platforms Red Hat Linux Virtual (OJS, XTF) and physical (DSpace) servers Staffing Roles distributed across organizational and departmental boundaries

OJS at KU Ideally: OJS is out-of-the box In practice: some modifications required Site Journals But: new releases make OJS increasingly configurable Upgrades via vendor tags in our CVS repository

Importing Process  Most of our journals have significant archives of back issues  Import in chunks via web interface (2-4 years worth or < 100 articles at a time)  Small tools  XSL to select chunks for master XML and add location of files  XSL “diagnostics”  Clean up scripts to clear uploads dir  Wanted: a way to package up and move an entire journal from one OJS instance to another

Some next steps… Establishing workflows and policies, organizational funding to sustain program Improve OJS training Editorial advisory board meeting Host an “editors’ forum” in September Expand website with more resources on publishing issues Seek to participate in info literacy and educational opportunities on campus.
