Historical perspective
Scholarly publishing was largely based on the
principle of gifts: authors give their treatises to
others in exchange for access to theirs.
In the 1960s, commercial publishers began to
produce scholarly journals and charge prices that
produced a profit for them. This profit motive now
drives many scholarly societies as well

Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), in the closing keynote, SPARC Digital Repositories meeting,

Publishing today
Vice Chancellors for Research and Deans arewitnessing the gradual diminution of publishing optionsand opportunities for UC faculty, particularly in the artsand humanities.
Junior faculty are beginning to struggle to get the bookcontracts they need for tenure and promotion; facultyworking in innovative fields or non-traditional projects areconstrained by a publishing model that cannot servetheir needs; and campus resources are increasinglycompromised by the commercial publishing culture

Small scholarly publishers are struggling
Many small publishers struggle with declining
subscription bases, particularly domestically and
even research libraries report regular journal
cancellations projects. Most of the journals thatare lagging in the development of electronic
formats are from publishers who print one or a
handful of titles

Small societies are struggling
Most small societies have a journal or
newsletter. The societies cannot sustain these
publications in print form. They also are losing
members, especially younger members. They dont know how to transition from print to
electronic
Publications tend to lack the credentials of more
mainstream journals Additional services are needed to retain members
and keep them involved

Libraries are struggling economically
January 19, 2009. Email from theInternational Coalition of Library Consortia(ICOLC) to the world:
The ICOLC library consortia consider the current[economic] crisis of such significance that wecannot simply assume that libraries and publishers
share a common perspective about the magnitudeof the crisis and the best approaches to cope withit.

Role of the Library and the
University in Publishing
UC faculty would like to see the university
play a more active role in blunting the
effect of the commercialization of
academic publishing, but they will not andcannot risk their own academic lives to
make it happen. The university must step
in.

Publishing Services not isolated
Publishing services are not usually
treated as an isolated operating unit, the
way a university press might be. They are
typically embedded in an emergingprogram of related servicesdigital

Convergence of Publishing and
Institutional Repositories (IRs)
-

The IR as a repository alone has
limited value for the university
-Faculty dont care and dont
contribute
-Provosts and Deans dont bless or
fund because the IR doesnt seem
relevant to their strategic mission

Paul Roysters initial approach to get faculty
content
I started out armed with a slick PowerPoint
presentation showing 1) the advantages of
having your articles online in an open-access
repository, and 2) how easy it was to do. I went to dozens of department meetings and
gave my spiel seeking to recruit participants who
would upload their own articles.

IR deposit is not an end in itself It should be a
byproduct of the services you provide to your
institutions. You provide services, you solve
problems, and as a byproduct of that you get
content in your repository.
IR initiatives are ambitiously striving to makeadvancements in both [collection and service]
areas, by offering alternatives to publisher-controlled
access to scholarship, enhancing dissemination of
grey literature and management of data sets, andbuilding tools and services to promote growth and
exploitation of content.

Publishing
This suggests a role for the IRs beyond that of
archival storage and accessibility enhancement: in
fact, they are well-suited to become online
publishers giving voice to a wide range of authors
normally excluded, put off, or ill-served by the
vagaries, idiosyncrasies, delays, obligations, and
hoops-jumping of the conventional publicationroutes.

Institutional Repository" Serials Review(2007).

Cal Poly's President Baker sees the repository as a
place to show off Cal Poly students' senior portfolios.He got excited when he understood that he could point
prospects and their parents to the portfolios as
examples of what their student can accomplish at Cal
Poly.

The Library has the structure in place:
You have the people. Your subject librarians talk to your faculty.
They know where the research is happening.
You have the expertise. The library is an expert in the
management, preservation and dissemination of scholarly
communications.
You have the technology. The repository is the technology that
can preserve, publish, and publicize.
As a publisher and service-provider, the library has the
chance to establish itself as the hub of campus wide
scholarly communications.
Why should the library care?
