The presentation discussed Google's beta testing process, Google Co-op and Custom Search Engines programs, examples of custom search engines created for publishers, government agencies, industries, libraries and companies, and how Google designs experiments to determine what users want from search experiences.
The document discusses the challenges faced by the American Chemical Society (ACS) in web publishing from 1997-2003. Key challenges included: (1) determining the impact of the web and how to plan for rapid changes, (2) managing rapid growth and increasing IT investments, (3) deciding strategic focuses and priorities for web projects, and (4) defining roles and decision-making processes between project sponsors and IT. Going forward, ACS aims to balance needs, expand IT capacity, and refine relationships between sponsors and IT.
The document discusses the emerging e-book market and technologies. It notes that e-book readers have overcome usability issues, multiple formats have emerged as standards, and e-books have moved beyond novels to include other materials like blogs, magazines and newspapers. Major players in the e-book ecosystem include Amazon, Sony, and Smashwords, and the future of the industry remains uncertain but growth is rapid as prices of readers decrease and more content becomes available in digital form.
This document summarizes a presentation on how librarians are moving from hype to practice regarding open access publishing. It discusses librarians' varying views on open access, ways they are supporting open access through budgets, blogs, directories and organizations, and issues around discovery, evaluation and long-term access to open access content. It also provides one library's responses to these issues and how scholarly communication units are engaging with open access publishing.
This document discusses the challenges libraries face in managing electronic journal access as publishers transition content online. While publishers have invested in publishing systems, little has been put towards distribution and access management. As a result, libraries are overwhelmed maintaining access across dozens of publisher platforms and hosts as titles change hands and access models are altered. The document proposes that an institution registry may help address these issues by standardizing how libraries and publishers communicate access entitlements and user credentials.
This document discusses the potential benefits and challenges of a small academic publishing organization called Human Factors partnering with a university press. Some key points made include:
- A university press could provide infrastructure, online solutions, and library marketing that Human Factors currently lacks due to small scale. However, Human Factors would need to retain some marketing rights.
- Not all university presses are equally suited - factors like flexibility, related titles, and commitment to the press are important to consider.
- The document recommends Human Factors issue an RFP to several university presses and commercial publishers, with a clear 5-year vision statement, and have proposals reviewed by experienced outsiders before making a decision. Editorial integrity
The American College of Physicians (ACP) has transitioned from autonomous content "silos" to an integrated environment with a common infrastructure and workflows. This allows for coordinated development and delivery of content across multiple publications. The transition involved implementing an electronic workflow using a document management system. This provides benefits like automated tasks, but also increased complexity. Lessons learned include implementing changes gradually, separating content and presentation, and developing internal technical skills.
This document discusses access to scientific information in the past, present, and future. It describes how the traditional publishing model worked for 60 years but is now broken due to rising costs. Maintaining a 4% annual growth rate of scientific research is crucial for economic and social progress but is at risk if access to information is limited. New models of open access aim to make scientific articles freely available online through digital repositories and funding consortiums. While opening access provides benefits like increased citations and readership, the immediate costs of lost opportunities for discovery if nothing changes are a serious concern.
Critical factors to consider when choosing an online hosting platform include project goals and objectives, capabilities and costs of vendors, and potential issues. Key questions to ask vendors relate to needed features, how the system will support the business model through branding, usage statistics, and performance needs. It is also important to understand how current workflows can be adapted and the overall costs and reputation of prospective hosting providers. A partial list of example providers was given.
The document discusses the requirements for an effective data sharing infrastructure, including providing recognition for authors through citations, allowing public distribution of data without author permission, maintaining authorization standards, validating that data exists, ensuring data persistence over decades, verifying data integrity despite format changes, and ease of use without requiring professional archivists. The Dataverse Network aims to meet these requirements through technological solutions.
The document discusses supporting local journal publishing in developing countries. It notes that while research output from developing regions is growing, representation in international journals remains low. Local journals are important for publishing research of local relevance in local languages and setting national publishing standards. However, many local journals struggle with limited resources. The document outlines how INASP supports local journals through workshops on publishing skills, online resources, facilitating online publishing through platforms like AJOL, and partnerships to help journals publish and index their content.
The document proposes a new e-learning tool called ePak that would provide an integrated curriculum development and delivery platform for business education. It would include a content repository, course authoring tools, and social/collaborative features. The tool aims to streamline content acquisition and management while reducing costs. It sees opportunities in both business schools and corporate training. The business model involves charging institutions per course and generating revenue from publishers, device makers, jobs/career companies, and individual subscriptions. Investors are pitched on the scalability and lack of competition in the large, open education market.
The document discusses the impact of open access (OA) publishing on institutional pricing and licensing. It outlines different types of OA, including delayed OA, optional OA, and full OA. Business models for OA include author-side fees, institutional memberships, and third party support. For institutional pricing, OA may lead libraries to question high subscription costs for limited content. Aggregators may negotiate lower royalty rates depending on the value and amount of OA content. Overall, the impact of OA on institutional pricing and licensing depends on factors like the percentage of OA articles and cost containment strategies by publishers.
