Catching the Wave: Academic Library as Scholarly Publisher by Tim Tamminga, B...Charleston Conference
Charleston Conference
Friday, November 5, 2010
2:00 - 2:50 PM
Academic libraries can become the center of on-campus scholarly publishing initiatives by offering and supporting scholarly publishing services.
This presentation explores the library as publisher from two perspectives:
Developing a library publishing strategy: What kind of publication support do our faculty need and expect? What types of services should libraries consider offering? How can we create a sustainable funding model for library publishing?
What are some of the issues that academic libraries encounter as they move into the field of publishing.
Showing real examples of how academic libraries are successfully providing publishing services, including:
• Peer-reviewed scholarly journals
• Student journals
• Monographs: the library Imprint or partnerships with the University Press
• Events publishing: Conferences and workshops
The discussion will show that academic libraries can provide publishing services that expand and enhance the range of library services to faculty, students, administration and their greater communities.

John MacColl “Aggregating responsibility for research collections”SALCTG June...SALCTG
Reviews changing pattern of research-oriented collection development: the pre-Web era and the impact of the digital revolution; the current picture – while many things have changed the concept of stewardship remains important, although it has slipped down the agenda; collaborative stewardship may well point the way forward – libraries working cooperatively and in conjunction with national organisations.
The two largest university libraries in Denmark merged on
1 January 2017. Strategic and political reasons were behind this
decision but this talk will take a staff viewpoint. The focal point
will be the challenges of licences: which resources do we have in
common, where do we differ, which deals do we renegotiate and
which do we cancel? Besides this, the session will also touch upon
other analyses of current systems and the challenge of merging
different institutional cultures.

Open Access Books: Trends & Options. University of Toronto Seminar February 1...Lucy Montgomery
Open Access (scholarly content that is freely available to the public) is often talked about in the context of journal publishing. However, the Open Access movement is also having significant effect on academic book publishing.
UTSC’s Centre for Digital Scholarship, in collaboration with the UTSC Library’s Digital Scholarship Unit, is hosting a seminar on “Open Access Books: Trends & Options” - February 13, 2014 from 12-2pm in MW324
Join Leslie Chan (Centre for Critical Development Studies) and guest speakers Pierre Mounier (Associate Director of Open Edition) and Lucy Montgomery (Deputy Director of Knowledge Unlatched) as they introduce how new publishing partnerships and digital technologies are transforming scholarly book publishing.
Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.
This presentation was provided by Judy Luther, representing Knowledge Unlatched, during the NISO Virtual Conference on Ebooks, held on October 5, 2016.
What are the key drivers behind the dramatic growth in library-based publishing? This session explores differences and similarities through three case studies from different countries: Sweden, the UK and the USA. The presenters will describe the forces that are changing the roles of their parent libraries and show how these are also shaping the nature of their publishing programmes. They will also discuss some of the opportunities they see for the future of libraries as publishers and the challenges these new entrants are encountering.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. Why journals?
• Major research funders worldwide are trying to find a way to
foster OA and have been for several years.
• Publishers experience significant pressure to support OA, most
significant players do by now
• KU is ideally suited to handle journals as well because of key
parameters, such as cost of article processing charges, cost per
article, cost per journal.
Expanding to Journals
The journal world needs KU to address the
organization gap between libraries and publishers
7. Expanding to Journals
• Journal pilot aims at 30 journals, 20 articles p.a. each
• Participating journals have to be 10 years old at least
• Start with subscription year 2017
• 3 year OA agreement (copyright year 2017 - 2020)
• Goal: 350 libraries in year 1
• Target price libraries: 160€ per journal title, €8 per article
