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.

What is Open Access? An Introduction to OAAbby Clobridge
An introduction to Open Access: What is Open Access? Why Open Access? Open Access Journals (Gold OA), Open Access Repositories (Green OA), Open Access Policies, Discoverability of OA content through Metadata, Interoperability, and the Open Knowledge Environment
Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?
In this slideshow, Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center, CUNY) explains the motivation for OA, describes the details of OA, and differentiates between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She also dispels persistent myths about OA and examines some of the challenges to OA.
Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
Reward, reproducibility and recognition in research - the case for going OpenDanny Kingsley
The is a keynote presentation for the Eleventh Annual Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing http://site.uit.no/muninconf/
21 November 2016
The advent of the internet has meant that scholarly communication has changed immeasurably over the past two decades but in some ways it has hardly changed at all. The coin in the realm of any research remains the publication of novel results in a high impact journal – despite known issues with the Journal Impact Factor. This elusive goal has led to many problems in the research process: from hyperauthorship to high levels of retractions, reproducibility problems and 'cherry picking' of results. The veracity of the academic record is increasingly being brought into question. An additional problem is this static reward systems binds us to the current publishing regime, preventing any real progress in terms of widespread open access or even adoption of novel publishing opportunities. But there is a possible solution. Increased calls to open research up and provide a greater level of transparency have started to yield practical real solutions. This talk will cover the problems we currently face and describe some of the innovations that might offer a way forward.

This is a presentation given to the RLUK 2016 conference held 9-11 March 2016 at the British Library.
Abstract: Before we challenge something it is helpful to understand it. In this talk Danny Kingsley will draw on a debate piece she recently co-authored that argued that open access has been systematically blamed for problems with the scholarly publishing system. This talk argues that amongst librarians, the knowledge of the scholarly communication system is even weaker than within the research community. As a library community we need to increase real understanding of the beast with which we dance. To do so requires a systematic change to the way librarians are educated, their professional development and a shift from managing the academic literature to participating in the generation of it. To not do so risks irrelevance into the future.

This presentation is on how to regain authority control in a large research library catalog: first, dealing with a backlog of problems from years without authority control and second, creating a process for ongoing workflows to realistically maintain authority control when new records are added to the collection.
The Serial Cohort: A Confederacy of CatalogersNASIG
Speaker: Mandy Hurt
In 2018, at a time when our department was shrinking through attrition, the decision was made to further leverage the particular skill sets of a select group of monographic catalogers by training them to also undertake the complex copy cataloging of serials.
This presentation concerns the assumptions underlying how this decision was originally made, the initial plan for how this would be accomplished by CONSER Bridge Training, the eventual formation of the Serials Cohort with a view to creating an iterative process I would design and manage, and the problems, obstacles and time constraints faced and addressed along the way.
Calculating how much your University spends on Open Access and what to do abo...NASIG
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including:
FlourishOA
Microsoft Academic Graph
PLOS API
Unpaywall Journals
We will also talk about Open Access on the subscription side, including how much of what you subscribe to is available as open access and how you can use that in your subscription decisions and negotiations.
The presenters are the cofounders of Our Research, the nonprofit company behind Unpaywall, the primary source of Open Access data worldwide.

Speakers: Ilda Cardenas, Keri Prelitz, Greg Yorba
The process of looking at subscriptions with the goal of proactively downsizing revealed that the library’s existing renewal workflows were outdated and in need of regular analysis to identify underused resources. Additionally, this project uncovered shortcomings of analysis that is reliant on usage data, the unexpected ramifications of large-scale subscription cancellations, as well as the need for improved communication within and between the many library departments affected by subscription cancellations.
Analyzing workflows and improving communication across departments NASIG
Presented by Jharina Pascual and Sarah Wallbank.
The presentation provides people with simple techniques for analyzing their local workflow and information-sharing practices, some ideas for interrogating and improving intra-technical services communication, and ideas for simple changes that can improve communication and build a sense of community/joint purpose within or across departments.
Supporting Students: OER and Textbook Affordability Initiatives at a Mid-Size...NASIG
Presented by Jennifer L. Pate.
With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.
Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Presented by Jenny Hoops and Margaret McLaughlin.
As web accessibility initiatives increase across institutions, it is important not only to reframe and rethink policies, but also to develop sustainable and tenable methods for enforcing accessibility efforts. For institutional repositories, it is imperative to determine the extent to which both the repository manager and the user are responsible for depositing accessible content. This presentation allows us to share our accessibility framework and help repository and content managers craft sustainable, long-term goals for accessible content in institutional repositories, while also providing openly available resources for short-term benefit.
Linked Data is exploding in the library world, but the biggest problems libraries have are coming up with the time or money involved in converting their records, looking into Linked Data programs, finding community support, and all the various other issues that arise as part of developing new methods. Likewise, one of the biggest hurdles for libraries and linked data is that they do not know what to do to get involved. As we have fewer people available and smaller budgets each year, we would like to explore ways in which libraries can get involved in the process without expending an undue amount of their already dwindling resources. To see how linked data can be applied, we will look at the example of the Smithsonian Libraries (SIL). Over the past 18 months, SIL has been preparing for the transition from MARC to linked open data. This session will talk about various SIL projects and initiatives (such as the FAST headings project and the introduction of Wikidata and WikiBase); how to incorporate linked data elements into MARC records; and how to develop staff and give them proficiency with new tools and workflows.

Walk this way: Online content platform migration experiences and collaboration NASIG
In this session, a librarian and a publisher share their perspectives on content platform migrations, and the Working Group Co-chairs will describe the group’s efforts to-date and expected outcomes. Our publisher-side speaker will describe issues they must consider when their content migrates, such as providing continuous access, persistent linking, communicating with stakeholders, and working with vendors. Our librarian speaker will describe their experience and steps they take during migrations, such as receiving notifications about migrations, identifying affected e-resources, updating local systems to ensure continuous access, and communicating with their front-line staff and patrons.

This session will discuss the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the effect that knowledge bases have on discovery and e-resource management. The presenters will look at ways knowledge bases can be leveraged to create downstream tools for resource management and discovery. The session will also provide different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians and product managers, as well as a discussion of the NISO's KBART Automation recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session will also include a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows. Through this presentation, we also aim to improve communication between the library community and metadata providers and creators.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

More than 75% of ARL libraries offer or plan to offer
publishing services.
Most expect to expand these services in future.
Dedicated publishing staff are rare.
Most do not have sustainability plans.
Most plan to expand cost recovery mechanisms
moving forward.

5. Why should libraries be publishers?
Is your library already involved in publishing, and
why?
What do you hope to learn today?
How could publishing fit into your library‘s
programs and services?
Why is this topic relevant to libraries?
What are some potential hurdles to becoming a
publisher?
6. Why become a Publisher?
Provide services that scholars understand, need
and value
Transform the unsustainable commercial
subscription pricing system
Take direct action to support Open Access
Deepen our understanding of scholarly
communications issues
8. Open Access is…
A family of copyright licensing policies under
which authors and copyright owners make
their works publicly available
A movement in higher education to increase
access to scholarly research and
communication, not limiting it solely to
subscribers or purchasers of works
A response to the current crisis in scholarly
communication
9. OA Overview
Open Access literature is digital, online, free
of charge, and free of most copyright and
licensing restrictions
Works are still covered by copyright law, but
Open Access terms apply to allow sharing
and reuse
All major OA initiatives for scientific and
scholarly literature insist on the importance
of peer review
10. OA is compatible with . . .
Copyright
Peer review
Revenue (even profit)
Print
Preservation
Prestige
Quality
Career advancement
Indexing
And other features and
supportive services
associated with
conventional scholarly
literature
11. Open Access is not . . .
Open Source—applies to computer
software
Open Content—applies to non-scholarly
content
Open Data—a movement to support
sharing of research data (see data.gov)
Free Access—no charge to access, but all
rights may be reserved
12. Open Access—Origins
Crisis in scholarly
communication/publishing
– Flat to declining collections budgets
– More demand for newer, expensive resources
– Greatly increased pricing for serials, electronic
resources
Rise of Internet and Worldwide Web
– Rapid dissemination of new research
– Better connectivity between scholars

Editor's Notes
Introductions Library as publisher: new trend, brief history -History of publication -From print to online -How technology has changed the very idea of publication.
Library as publisher -Pitt's ULS got into it to support open access. -Ask audience who they are, where they're coming from, what brought them to this workshop. What draws you to publishing? Are you thinking of starting a program? Already have one and need some tips? Just curious? -Weave in the following ideas: 1. Relevance to research faculty 2. Contribute to the OA movement 3. Possibly cut costs or bring in revenue 4. Other benefits?
Open Access - what is it? -5 minute free association exercise - what comes to mind when you hear "open access"? -Write results on board or type them on screen somehow -10 minutes: Mythbust the results - separate into categories "fact" or "fiction", meanwhile discussing key points about the OA movement. (See Tim's notes.)
How did we do it? A brief overview of the ULS's publishing program -Our D-Scribe scholarly journals. -Offered to both people at the Pitt community and outside of it. -Scholarly Exchange hosting service to facilitate blossoming scholarship for those without many options. -D-Scholarship repository -Other repositories -OMP -Etc.
At Pitt, the University Press is separate from the Library, however, we share a highly collaborative relationship with the Press. We offer over 750 titles from their backlist through Open Access, and this program has actually driven an increase in sales of some of their older titles. The Press is named as a Cosponsor of all of our peer-reviewed journals, and the Director of the Press serves on our Publications Advisory Board.
We have been offeringsubject-based Open Access repositories over the last decade. Most of these began as projects proposed by Pitt faculty but are intended for an international audience. For instance, the PhilSci-Archive is widely recognized as the global repository for rapid dissemination of new research in the discipline of Philosophy of Science. Many preprints first deposited there are later published in refereed journals.
