Ithaka’s 2006 Studies of Key Stakeholders in the Digital Transformation in Higher Education
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Ithaka’s 2006 Studies of Key Stakeholders in the Digital Transformation in Higher Education (ID: CSD5490)
Author(s):Ross Housewright (Ithaka) and Roger C. Schonfeld (Ithaka)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (08/18/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Ithaka's 2006 survey of faculty members sought to determine their attitudes related to online resources, electronic archiving, teaching and learning and related subjects.  This study affords the opportunity to develop trend analysis of many measurements collected in the 2003 and 2000 faculty surveys. As in the past, Ithaka developed a robust set of disciplinary and other demographic analyses that have allowed them to learn more about how best to serve the needs of different types of faculty members. Findings include;

CNI Podcast: Library Publishing Services: An Emerging Role for Research Libraries - An Interview with Karla Hahn
Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on April 23, 2008

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.

The Future of the Library
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Future of the Library (ID: NCP08058)
Author(s):Susan V. Wawrzaszek (Brandeis University), David G. Wedaman (Brandeis University), Amira Aaron (Brandeis University), Lori Dembowitz (Brandeis University), and John Turner (Brandeis University)
Origin:Presented at NERCOMP Conferences (03/10/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:
 

Information and technology support organizations in higher education face a future of dramatic and constant change. Digital information creation and delivery is challenging what we know about learning and teaching, and what we assumed would be our roles in higher education. To continue to support scholarly communication, delivery and preservation of digital information, and online teaching and learning environments—to continue to be relevant and helpful to the academic mission—we must radically redefine the services we offer to the academy.

Talk About Talking About New Models of Scholarly Communication
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Talk About Talking About New Models of Scholarly Communication (ID: CSD5403)
Author(s):Karla Hahn (Association of Research Libraries (ARL))
Source:Journal of Electronic Publishing
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (02/15/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Although many new forms of scholarly exchange have reached an advanced state of adoption, scholars and researchers generally remain remarkably naïve and uninformed about many issues involved with change in scholarly publishing and scholarly communication broadly. It is increasingly important that dialogue at research institutions involve a much wider group of researchers and scholars. Only active engagement by those undertaking research and scholarship can ensure that the advancement of research and scholarship takes priority in the development and adoption of new models. Research libraries have led in educating stakeholders about new models and are expanding their outreach to campus communities. In considering the effects of recent change, and looking to emerging trends and concerns, six dangers of the current moment are considered along with six topics ripe for campus dialogue.

Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research Libraries
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research Libraries (ID: CSD5299)
Source:ARL Scholarly Communication Steering Committee
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (11/28/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This is the Final Report and Recommendations to the Scholarly Communication Steering Committee, the
Public Policies Affecting Research Libraries Steering Committee, and the Research, Teaching, and Learning Steering Committee.

E-science has the potential to be transformational within research libraries by impacting their operations, functions, and possibly even their mission. Recognizing this potential, the ARL Steering Committees for Scholarly Communication and for Research, Teaching, and Learning jointly appointed a task force in 2006 to address the emergent domain of e-science. The Joint Task Force on Library Support for E-Science focused its attention on the implications of trends in e-science for research libraries, exploring the dimensions that impact collections, services, research infrastructure, and professional development. Priorities of government funding agencies further shaped the task force's work.

Strategies and Frameworks for Institutional Repositories and the New Support Infrastructure for Scholarly Communications
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Strategies and Frameworks for Institutional Repositories and the New Support Infrastructure for Scholarly Communications (ID: CSD4745)
Author(s):Tyler Walters
Source:D-Lib Magazine
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:"Institutional repositories (IRs) are proliferating as they become an indispensable component for information and knowledge sharing in the scholarly world [1]. As their numbers increase worldwide, a new phase of IR development is emerging. Moving beyond their initial functions, IRs no longer serve solely as a place to store, organize, and access content. With rapidly changing technologies, users now desire and expect transportable content that can be utilized within various digital environments and reused in multiple formats, and they need forums for the rapid exchange of ideas with both on-campus and external communities. In response, universities and the libraries hosting IRs are looking for ways to weave their repositories into the "information fabric" of their campuses' academic and business processes and catalyze changes in scholarly communications more broadly."
