UC Irvine Libraries UpdateA Newsletter for Faculty

As a scholar and UC Irvine facultymember, you may have concernsabout new options for publica-tion, your intellectual propertyrights, the availability of scholarlypublications in digital or printform, the nature of your contractswith publishers, how your stu-dents use online resources, andrelated issues. The traditionalstructures and processes of schol-arly communication are rapidlychanging. New information tech-nologies play a significant role,but intellectual, cultural, socio-logical, legal, and financial issuesalso are at play at the internationaland national levels, within bothhigher education and specificscholarly disciplines.

The UC Irvine Libraries haveestablished a program to explorethe many evolving issues of schol-arly communication. The program

will be inaugurated at a campusforum this spring, co-hosted by the Ex-ecutive Vice Chancellor and theUniversity Librarian. We intend to ad-dress the major issues that are posingchallenges for faculty and librarians,including:

� New opportunities and alternativesfor scholarly publishing, and howthey affect the nature of researchand learning

� Evolving definitions of “publishing”

� Economics of scholarly communication

� Publishing and the academicreward and promotion system

� Copyright and contract law, includ-ing fair use and intellectual propertyrights

� Publishers’ contracts and openaccess

� Digital and print materials in theclassroom and in distance education

� New roles for librarians in scholarlycommunication

Historically, academic librarieshave played a key role in aspectsof scholarly communication. Ourprogram will provide a structurefor our continuing efforts tocollaborate on these issues withfaculty and other interested mem-bers of the UC Irvine academiccommunity. We wil l offer aseries of open forums to facilitatediscussion, host meetings withfaculty who serve on editorialboards or are developing newforms of scholarship, and invitefaculty involvement in the devel-opment of new init iat ives.Through collaboration and com-munity dialogue, we seek todevelop local solutions and con-tribute to the national discourse.

Our efforts will be informed byour participation in national and

The Best of Both Worlds: eScholarship at the UC Irvine Libraries

The California Digital Library’s (CDL)eScholarship program exists to enablefaculty innovation in electronic pub-lishing. eScholarship was founded in2000 as a collaboration among thenine UC campuses and CDL with thegoal of providing faculty with custom-

ized support for experimen-tation with electronicscholarly communication,such as access to peer reviewmanagement software. Asexperience is gained with avariety of scholarly initiatives,eScholarship will develop arobust infrastructure and afully sustainable model formanaging digital scholarlyinformation, from produc-tion, to access, to use.

Any University of Californiaresearch unit (ORU or MRU),institute, center, or depart-ment is eligible to join.

Individuals may publish througheScholarship, but a “sponsoring unit”such as the home academic depart-ment must take full editorialresponsibility for their contributions.The repository is author-friendly:individual authors retain copyright in

all their writings. Participation is freeto both authors and sponsoring units.

Content does not have to be authoredby UC faculty to be included in thee-repository. For example, a unit mayuse the repository to post papers froma UC-sponsored conference that in-cludes authors from both UC and otheruniversities. Previously publishedmaterial is welcomed. Any content iseligible for inclusion as long as allapplicable policies are followed (e.g.,copyright), Web delivery is technicallyfeasible (e.g., the content can be postedusing existing file formats), and thesponsoring unit deems it appropriate.

For further information, contact CarolHughes, UC Irvine’s eScholarshipl ia ison, at hughes@uci.edu , orcontact the CDL staff directly atescholarship@ucop.edu.

The UC Irvine Libraries will beconducting a survey this spring toevaluate user perceptions of libraryservice quality. The Web-based sur-vey instrument uses 25 questions tomeasure library users’ minimum,perceived, and desired levels ofservice quality in four key dimen-sions: “Access to Information”,“Affect of Service”, “Library as Place”,and “Personal Control”. More than78,000 users at 164 institutionsthroughout North America completedthe survey in 2002.

Library User Survey Coming Soon

The survey, known as LibQUAL+,is one of the Association ofResearch Libraries’ (ARL) NewMeasures Initiative projects, whichseek to develop innovative ways forlibraries to articulate their centralityto their parent institutions. The UCIrvine Libraries are especially inter-ested in incorporating outcome-basedassessment into our planning efforts.University Librarian Gerald Munoffhas stated “Outcome measures areone indicator of how well an organi-zation serves its users, as well as ofan institution’s efficiency and effec-tiveness. The LibQUAL+ survey willbe one of a variety of measures we willbe using to better understand andserve our users’ needs.”

The survey will be conducted fromApril 7 to April 28, 2003. We will beasking a large sampling of faculty,

graduate students, undergraduatestudents and staff to complete theweb-based questionnaire, whichshould take no more than 10 minutes.Incentives to increase participationwill be offered. We will share theresults with the University commu-nity in Fall 2003.

More information about ARL’s nationalLibQUAL+ study can be found on theweb at www.arl.org/l ibqual. Wewelcome your questions andcomments; please contact SteveMacLeod at smacleod@uci.edu orx44967.

The Libraries are an increasingly vitalplayer in UC Irvine’s educationalmission. Last year we taught nearly14,000 students and campus visitorsin a variety of workshops, course-based sessions, and other programs,and we anticipate even more activityas UC Irvine continues to grow. TheDepartment of Education and Out-reach (E&O) provides leadership forthe Libraries’ programs, which em-phasize research skills, informationliteracy, information technologies,and lifelong learning. E&O is led byCathy Palmer. Stephanie Davis-Kahl,Research Librarian for Educa-tion and Outreach, joined UCIrvine and the department inApril 2002.

E&O staff work closely withfaculty, other research librar-ians, and others on campus toassess needs, design instruc-tional offerings, integrateinformation literacy into thecurriculum, and assess learn-ing outcomes. In addition,E&O identifies partnershipopportunities both on and offcampus that highlight theLibraries’ instructional contri-butions to the academicmission of the University. Inresponse to demand fromfaculty, we are currently work-ing on curriculum design for a“Preventing Plagiarism” work-shop that will serve as the basisfor an online tutorial.

Several exciting new opportunitieshave resulted from collaboration withUC Irvine’s Center for EducationalPartnerships (CFEP). For example,our SPIRIT Program (School Partner-ships for Instruction, Research, andInformation Technology) allows usto provide student educational en-richment and teacher professionaldevelopment at underachieving highschools in Los Angeles and OrangeCounty. On another front, theCompton Unified School District has

provided us with funding todesign and deliver theCompton Teachers’ Informa-tion Literacy Institute to helphigh school teachers incor-porate research skills andresources into their curricu-lum. The Libraries also willparticipate with campusacademic departments in theNational Science Foundation-funded FOCUS (FacultyOutreach CollaborationsUniting Scientists, Students,and Schools) grant project, a

CFEP proposal that was awarded$14.5 million to increase the numberof qualified science and math teach-ers over the next five years.

In addition, E&O plans to build uponexisting partnerships with academicdepartments and other campus pro-grams to integrate library resources,information literacy instruction,and information technology intoacademic curricula and specialprograms. We collaborate with the

divisions of Undergraduate Educa-tion and Student Affairs on programssuch as the Student-Parent Orienta-tion Programs, Campuswide HonorsProgram, and the UndergraduateResearch Opportunities Program.We also work closely with NACS tofurther the use of informationtechnology in instruction via ouractive participation in the ElectronicEducation Environment (EEE)Initiative.

nomena as the regeneration of acomplete animal, asexual reproduc-tion, and the grafting of animal tissue.Perhaps most importantly, Trembleyset a new standard for objectivity andelegance in such studies and for re-peatability in experimentation. Hisdiscoveries created a furor in the uni-versities, academies, and salons ofEurope, where the theological andphilosophical implications werehotly debated. Seeking validation ofhis findings, Trembley initiated a cor-respondence with the great Frenchscientist Reaumur, who brought hiswork to the attention of the Europeanscientific elite. As a result, in 1743this “obscure tutor” was elected aFellow of the Royal Society of Lon-don and received its prestigiousCopley Medal.

Professor Lenhoff became fascinatedwith Trembley while working on
