creation, transformation, dissemination and preservation: advocating for scholarly communication
DESCRIPTION
As the fight for research grants intensifies and the pot of money decreases, librarians need to ensure that the topic of scholarly communication remains on the forefront, regardless of funding. Affording researchers avenues to widely share and publish their work to make it widely available should be a mission both in the library and at the highest levels of the institution. How can libraries make an impact? In this presentation two librarians, a consortia officer and vendor, will discuss how consortia have and continue to play a primary role in advocating for dissemination of information and scholarly communication. Additionally, they will discuss other tools that libraries/researchers can use as a method of collaboration, whether regional or international, and why it is essential for libraries to become part of the solution before they are left out in the cold. Please come prepared to discuss how your library is making an impact on this topic. Anne McKee Program Officer for Resource Sharing, Greater Western Library Alliance McKee received her M.L.S. from Indiana University, Bloomington and has had a very diverse career in librarianship. She has been an academic librarian, a sales rep for two subscription agencies and now a consortium officer for the past 13 years. A former President of NASIG, McKee is on the Serials Review Editorial Board, 3 publisher/vendor library advisory boards and strives to balance a busy career with an even busier family including a husband, 1 high schooler, 1 middle schooler, 2 dogs while being a first year newbie [and admittedly a rather bewildered] club volleyball mom: all this including wearing orthodontia! McKee is probably the only person you’ll meet with both an undergrad AND MLS in Library Science. Christine M. Stamison Senior Customer Relations Manager, Swets Addison, IL Christine Stamison, Senior Customer Relations Manager for Swets, has worked in various positions in the subscription agent industry for the past 20 years. Previously, she worked for 13 years in academic libraries, primarily in Serials, at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and at the University of Chicago Libraries. Christine received her Masters in Library and Information Services from Rosary College (now Dominican University) and is a regular lecturer for serials, collection development and technical services classes. When not working you can find Christine in the gym working with her trainer trying to get in shape for her upcoming vacation hiking up Machu Picchu and trekking around Easter Island.TRANSCRIPT

Trend in Inter-Institutional Collaboration
Gazni, A., & Didegah, F. (2011). Investigating different types of research collaboration and citation impact: A case study of Harvard University’s publications. Scientometrics, 87(2), 251–265.
Between 2000-2005
Examined 22 different fields of science
At least 60 % of publications co-authored.
88% of articles co-authored
80.5% articles Inter-institutional collaboration
Annual growth in publications 1996-2008

In 2011, less than 26% of papers are the product of one institution alone, and over a third have multiple nationalities sharing authorship
Research Workflow
“Today, already in the early phases of the ‘knowledge chain’, the scientific community is being integrated into the discussion and evaluation of first results. Communication software makes it possible to integrate locally disperse researchers and research groups. Ideas are being generated in chat rooms via virtual discourse. Scientific preprints are being reviewed publicly, thus narrowing the qualitative gap that formerly existed between a preprint and the final publication”

Research WorkflowMany platforms & tools try to support researcher workflows
• Researchers use social media to support the research lifecycle
• They may not use the
same tools • but social media most
definitely makes an impacton scholarly workflow

SC projects con’t
Half of ARL members responded to the survey
Of respondents, 93% stated they were involved in scholarly communication services
All but 3 had either a position or department devoted to SC
!ARL SPEC KIT 332:
ORGANIZATION OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION SERVICES, November 2012
However, when asked if their Position/department was the main SC office on campus, there was “a hesitation in staking a definitive leadership claim.”
Some said that other offices/departments on campus also contributed
Some said the library was the only one working on SC but were not recognized as THE leaders on campus
ARL Spec Kit 332 con’t
ALL respondents offered services to “advise and educate authors about copyright, retaining rights, etc.”
NONETHELESS
Altho the majority of copyright educators on academic campuses are librarians, only 25% actually have law degrees or have attended copyright training.
CALL TO ACTION!
Rather than waiting for it to come to us!
We need to ensure we are controlling the SC “ball”
THANKS!
