Increase Capacity for CSU-wide journal publishing

LORDS

Jaime

 

  • Gave an update on this project during the November 30 COLD meeting, emphasized the importance of the conversation, rather than the finished product

  • First multi-campus pilot session on December 3 with SLO, Pomona, Dominguez Hills, and San Francisco participating; reviewed LibGuide from Dominguez Hills (rubric)

  • Aiming for quarterly sessions; next one will be on March 11 from 2:30-4:30 pm. Looking for one more campus to participate. Others on your campus could also spearhead this; it doesn’t necessarily need to be a scholarly communication contact.

Open access documentation / Elsevier gold OA pilot

Melissa

  • Elsevier is still working on authentication for local campus administrators. Train the trainer sessions will be scheduled for the new year.

Accessibility resources for ScholarWorks content

Informal discussion on outreach strategies

All

Question: How are people communicating about scholarly communications/digital publishing/classes with their faculty? List serv emails? Word of mouth

  • DH: Mailchimp liaison newsletters – share digital publishing updates with liaisons to circulate; working on a digital publishing webpage to help increase awareness of services; word of mouth; get good student engagement with social media

  • SFSU: share blurbs with liaisons; campus-wide social justice email list

  • Pomona: social media is mainly used for events and new resources, but it’s a moving target; dean sends themed emails to all faculty approximately once a month (e.g., on OERs)

What about ETDs?

  • Pomona: Grad Studies is point of contact for ETDs, but library manages submissions; IR manager and formatting manager have run several virtual workshops (50-60 students per session vs. 20-30 students in on-campus sessions); workshops are not explicitly required; Grad Studies checklist

  • DH: Grad Studies is primarily in charge of outreach, but Dana answers questions related to ScholarWorks, gives workshops on accessibility, etc.; workshops are not explicitly required

  • SLO: students turn in senior projects through Digital Commons, with physical displays in the library; some back-and-forth with repository administrator

  • Chico: Grad Studies forwards emails as needed; considering mandatory workshops
