Why does UC want to change scholarly communication? 32 million items held by UC; shared CD strategies
constrained; redundant print collections undermine development of collections needed for research & teaching
UC serials expenditures > $20 million, even with economies of scale
50% of UC’s online materials budget for journals receiving only 25% of the use.
UC faculty > 13% of senior editors at top 2,000 journals and a significant % of authors
UC efforts to safeguard the flow of scholarly output System wide Library and Scholarly Information
Advisory Committee (SLASIAC): leads university-wide effort to improve scholarly communication system to meet research & teaching mission
System wide Faculty Senate Advisory Committee on Scholarly Communication (SASC): leads senate actions to address issues of copyright management and tenure rewards
Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC): seeks to develop financially sustainable models and improve all areas of scholarly communication
eScholarship Program
Publishing and investigative tool in UC’s search for sustainable, alternative models
eScholarship Repository: Library/faculty partnership; enables greater faculty control over publishing & dissemination
eScholarship Editions: CDL/University Press partnership to extend publishing capabilities and experiment w/new roles
eScholarship Repository

Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvesting services
PostPrints; PostRef? Response to faculty desire for greater control
over management and use of creative output
Takes advantage of liberalized “reprint” (postprint) policies by publishers
Allows universities to capture and manage pools of content; allows development of new third-party value-added services (and may help end the fight over control of content)
A future “PostRef” service?
Publishing Partners: Faculty, Presses, & Societies Productive, dynamic CDL-UCP partnership:
nearly 2,000 XML schol monographs + new monographic series + UCIAS = new models for publication of book length scholarly works
Editorial: Enhance university press’ capacity (edit and tech) for publishing; use existing mechanisms to share editorial load; UCP “reviews the reviewers”
Technical: Redesigned workflow; extend structured text infrastructure, streamline inputs and enhance outputs, e.g., MTDP
