5 “The effort is premised on the belief that libraries are a valuable and indeed essential part of the global information space, and that we will only continue to be so if we take active responsibility for moving our content, services and values into this information ecosystem.” ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 5 John Wilkin, “Thinking and Acting Globally to Better Serve Local Needs: The Michigan Digital Library”, 14 January 2010 ALA presentation14 January 2010 ALA presentation

6 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 6 Small liberal arts colleges are supporting journal publishing.

7 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 7 Libraries should be involved in publishing journals, particularly those of local interest and of small societies.

8 “Over 97 percent of society publishers publish three or fewer journals, with almost 90 percent publishing just one title.” ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 8 Raym Crow, Publishing cooperatives: An alternative for non-profit publishers, First Monday, v. 11, no.9, 2006 First Monday, v. 11, no.9

13 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 13 Look for partners on campus. For example, you may be able to work with your alumni magazine.

14 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 14 Libraries could work in partnership with other libraries, such as those in the region or in a consortia.

15 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 15 Journals help raise the institutions profile which can help with recruitment of faculty, students and donors.

16 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 16 Student journals can be included, giving exposure to your top student work.

17 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 17 Publishing OA titles provides a great opportunity for teaching editors (faculty or students) about copyright and open access.

18 Staffing and Software ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 18

19 [Library publishing services] are typically embedded in an emerging program of related services …[which] enable both crucial synergies and important efficiencies in the launch and evolution of publishing services.” ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 19 Karla Hahn, Research Library Publishing Services: New Options for University Publishing, p.21

20 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 20 Involve staff with appropriate subject expertise for titles and also your serials and electronic resources staff.

21 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 21 We have not yet determined how much time journal hosting takes.

22 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 22 Open source or hosted software can be used to manage journals and support basic display and technological issues as well as editorial workflow.

23 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 23 Our journal hosting would be impossible without library administration support, and we must demonstrate that it is a valuable & sustainable service.

27 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 27 Clearly state what you will do and what you will support.

40 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 40 Do your homework before meeting with the editors, looking at their websites and at journals in their field, and start gathering basic information for the site.

41 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 41 Work with your subject librarians; they will be familiar with publications in the field and bring additional expertise.

42 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 42

43 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 43 Talk to the editors about general goals for journal.

44 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 44 Talk to the editors to make sure they have a realistic idea regarding the effort required to produce a quality journal.

45 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 45 Make sure editor’s responsibilities are clear (e.g. ask for submissions, review content, check for plagiarism, copy edit and format, group content into issues, post and publicize the journal).

46 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 46 Having a basic MOU establishes common expectations and target dates.

47 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 47

48 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 48 Editors may not have solid ideas up front regarding the design, but they know what they don’t like.

52 Automatically created list of book reviews ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 52

54 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 54 You should do all the general set up for editor and ask them for input–don’t expect them to do anything but respond (and do the actual editing of the journal).

55 ILA/ACRL Spring Conference 23 April 2010 55 Make sure information needed to assess quality and authority of the title is on the site (e.g. identify editors by name and institution and clearly state it is peer reviewed).
