ARL

This 16 minute podcast features an interview with Karla Hahn, Director of Scholarly Communication for the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). It was recorded at the CNI 2008 Spring Task Force Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Surveys and interviews of members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) have revealed that a majority are now developing publishing services. Publishing centered in research institutions has a long history. Departments, institutes and other campus publishing have complemented university press publishing, collectively producing a wide range of high-quality works. Research libraries are positioned to transform university publishing as they create organized publishing services.

Libraries launch publishing services in response to needs for new kinds of support for scholarly publications. Services focus on the local constituency, although much of the content they are publishing comes from outside the institution. Journal publishing is the most common genre supported, although a majority of programs also support monographic publishing.

This 44-minute podcast recorded during the EDUCAUSE 2007 Annual Conference features Peggy Hoon, Special Assistant to the Provost for Copyright Administration, North Carolina State University, Robert R. Hoon, Associate General Counsel, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and Thomas K. Miller, III, Vice Provost, Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications, North Carolina State University in a session titled "What Can You Do? The Rest of the Copyright Story."

The session abstract:

The ARL's Know Your Copy Rights is a multifaceted campus copyright education initiative that accentuates the positive and emphasizes what you can do with copyrighted materials. This effort offers resources, including a unique brochure, specifically created for all campus constituencies with the assistance of nationally recognized copyright educators.
