Scholarly Communication and Librarian Liaisons: Getting the conversation started Karen Fischer The University of Iowa Libraries ILA/ACRL | April 23, 2010
Agenda • Foundations • Areas of Expertise • Methods of Education/Training • Environmental Scan • Questions/Discussion
Defining Scholarly Communication Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. Publisher Author Libraries = Users
Scholars must be the new face of the effort to change the scholarly communication system and focus on how the present system restricts access to their research. Stemper and Williams, Scholarly communication: Turning crisis into opportunity, C&RL News, December 2006, Vol. 67, No. 11
Why Scholars Publish To make an impact / have an effect on their field To build a reputation To engage with other scholars To fulfill institutional expectations (get tenure, promotion, etc. ) • Professional advancement (another position, grants) • To make money, become well-known • • JISC, Key Concerns Within the Scholarly Communication Process, March 2008

Alternative Publishing Open Access definitions, challenges, misconceptions, hybrid journals OA Mandates NIH Public Access Policy, FRPAA, Institutional OA mandates Libraries as Publishers Digital Repositories
Methods of Training Utilize resources from ARL: http: //www. arl. org/sc/ “Developing a Scholarly Communication Program” http: //www. arl. org/sc/institute/fair/scprog/ index. shtml Create a public website on scholarly communication
Methods of Training Present forums or workshops to library staff such as: Scholarly Communication basics Author rights/Copyright NIH Public Access Policy Institutional repositories Bring in an outside expert to talk to staff
Methods of Training Develop brochures on: Copyright NIH Public Access Policy Overview Your website or services related to scholarly communication
Methods of Training Publish a newsletter or blog on scholarly communication topics Transitions: Scholarly Communication News for the UI Community Sources of news: LJ Academic Newswire Connotea: OA feed http: //www. connotea. org/tag/oa. new Other blogs: UIUC Libraries, MIT, Scholarly Kitchen (SSP), Scholarly Communications @ Duke Chronicle of Higher Education
Methods of Training Scholarly communication environmental scan – An information seeking exercise – Helps liaisons get to know their department in depth – Opens the door to discussions with faculty – Can help identify materials for institutional repository
Iowa’s Environmental Scan Part 1: Trends by subject discipline Part 2: Departmental and faculty activities and attitudes. At Iowa: 113 disciplines covered 185 individual faculty interviews 76 tenure-granting departments represented
Challenges Ahead and Next Steps Area of OA and Alternative Publishing is evolving Scholars remain uninformed about many of the issues regarding scholarly communication. One-on-one discussions with faculty are the most effective
