| Dear cni-announce subscribers:
Our colleagues encourage your participation in this survey on a broad range of activities related to library publishing. If your library is involved in this kind of work, please add your information so that it will appear in the Directory of Library Publishing Services.
--Joan Lippincott, CNI ----------------------------- Colleagues, Do you distribute ETDs through your institutional repository? Do you support the publication of open access journals? Do you aid in the creation of open education resources? If you engage in these or other forms of value-added content creation and dissemination, help us to document the range of activities that libraries are undertaking in “publishing” (broadly defined) through their work in scholarly communications, digital humanities, digital sciences, and institutional repositories. To promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and to raise the visibility of the unique contributions of libraries as “publishers,” the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is compiling the first edition of a Directory of Library Publishing Services. To have your library included, please complete this questionnaire by Monday, July 15, 2013. The questionnaire has 32 questions and takes between 20 and 45 minutes to complete. We recommend that you preview the questions and check our list of respondents before you begin. Each institution should complete only ONE questionnaire. The first edition of the Directory will be openly available online.
Don't miss this opportunity to give your library publishing activities broad exposure and highlight your involvement in this growing community.
Thank you, Tyler ---------------------------------- Tyler Walters Dean, University Libraries and Professor Virginia Tech P.O. Box 90001 Blacksburg, VA 24062-9001 Voice (540) 231-5595 Fax (540) 231-7808 |
