UCSF Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco July 15, 2006 Outreach & Collaboration: Small Campus Gail Persily

UCSF Campus Health science campus Professional schools Graduate programs 3,000 students 18,000 staff & faculty

Scholarly UCSF Faculty priorities Research and patients Scholarly communication = journal literature Journal pricing a major issue Faculty leadership Elsevier, Cell Press PLoS is our neighbor

Program Strategies Website – useful, but not essential Engage library staff Staff task force Educate staff! Build faculty contacts one by one Leverage other campus activities – “piggy backing”

Build faculty contacts Develop contacts on specific issues Begin dialog and engage interest Develop future advocates, participants in events, etc. Examples: ACS & PubChem World Association of Medical Editors

Leverage campus activities Professional development programs for grad students & postdocs on publishing Distribute brochure Survey interest in other topics Copyright workshop for School of Medicine faculty Also … university-wide activities Academic Council, proposed copyright policy

Still working on… Speaker program for Fall 2006 Defining key issues Educating library staff Cultivating partnerships
