Programs 3A and 3B in the webinar series will help libraries that are increasingly involved in providing journal hosting and support services, exploring transitional models for economic support from subscriptions to open access. These sessions will present opportunities to learn from leaders in these areas. Program 3A will focus on library as publisher, and Program 3B will focus on library experiments in economic support for open access.

Learning Outcomes:

• Participants will have advanced understanding of issues relating to library publishing to further current publishing efforts or decide whether to get involved in publishing.
• Participants will have advanced understanding of article processing fees and combined licensing/author’s rights approaches as currently understood and practiced to inform local decision-making in these areas.
• Participants will have an introductory understanding of program planning from the point of view of faculty editor/publishers, a key element of strategic analysis to build an effective scholarly communication program plan.

3A: Changing Role of Libraries: Journal Hosting and Support

June 15, 2010
Noon–1:30 p.m. EDT

In 2007, the majority of ARL libraries responding to a survey (downloadable from http://www.arl.org/resources/pubs/reports/) were involved in publishing services, with many more planning to get involved within the next couple of years. Program 3A will focus on the issues that arise from such activity. Should the library set up hosting and support services for journals, work cooperatively with the university press, outsource or ... ? What are the issues that come up once a library does get involved with providing publishing services, and how have these been addressed? This session will provide participants with an opportunity to learn from the experiences of leaders in the field.

3B: Transitioning from Subscriptions to Open Access: Article Processing Fees and Combined Licensing/Author’s Rights Approaches

July 27, 2010
1:00-2:30 p.m EDT

The Directory of Open Access Journals currently lists more than 5,000 fully open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journals, and the growth rate averages about two titles per day--this without any comprehensive, concerted approach to shifting funding from subscriptions to support for open access! Libraries are beginning the process of piloting approaches to providing economic support for open access, ranging from payment of article processing fees to combining licensing subscriptions with authors' rights or other open-access approaches. Program 3B presents participants with an opportunity to learn from the leaders in this field.

Scheduled Speakers

• Ivy Anderson, Director of Collection Development and Management, California Digital Library
• Barbara DeFelice, Director, Digital Resources Program, Dartmouth College
• Andrew Waller, Licensing & Negotiating Librarian, Library & Cultural Resources, University of Calgary
