Council of Library Deans : 2020-11-9 Publishing Interest Group Agenda and Meeting Notes

Announcements

• The Next Generation Library Publishing project (2019-2022), Educopia Institute, California Digital Library, and Stratos, in close collaboration with COAR, LYRASIS, and Longleaf Services published Living Our Values and Principles: Exploring Assessment Strategies for the Scholarly Communication Field last month

• Dana, Jaime, and Melissa will be attending the November 30th COLD meeting to provide updates on our work plan action items and address questions

• 50-minute meetings moving forward to allow a break for those with back-to-back meetings? Everyone agreed to this

• Fullerton has a new research institute, the Institute of Black Intellectual Innovation, that is interested in a journal. Feel free to contact the director, Natalie Graham (ngraham@Fullerton.edu), if interested in potential collaborations.

Recap of Open Access Week events

All

• Cal Poly Pomona (LibGuide): synchronous workshops were difficult with Zoom fatigue, but this was a good opportunity to pull together internal resources; planning on resolutions to Academic Senate; will repeat workshops again throughout the year.

• Dominguez Hills (LibGuide): Instagram posts had good traction (e.g., quizzes); Wikipedia edit-a-thon did not happen this time, but a faculty member is interested – looking into a course-integrated activity; stats to come.

• SF State Black Lives Matter Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (LibGuide): Two faculty attended; another edit-a-thon this Friday and one in December.

• Fullerton: Mark wrote an OA Week op-ed on controlled digital lending.

LORDS

Jaime

• Confluence documentation: overview of the project

• SLO LibGuide: documents SLO sessions and links to various rubrics and LibGuides, FAQs

• Pilots at SF State and DH: these were successful, and there is interest in more local sessions as well as multi-campus ones

• Multi-campus pilot: December 3

• If you’re not yet a member of LORDS, but would like to get involved, please let Jaime know.

• Memo will be going to COLD next week regarding the need for local administrators.

Non-traditional theses/dissertations

Melissa

• Humanities faculty at SF State have expressed interest in giving students an option to submit graphic theses. We have been having discussions about accessibility considerations. Does anyone have experience with this?

  • Cal Poly Pomona: trying to figure out how to make architectural figures accessible

  • Cal Poly SLO: starting to work on best practices in relation to zines

  • Chico: also interested in this; Office of Accessible Technology & Services currently helps with remediation

• Text-based ETD remediation

  • DRC conversations about accessibility have been very preliminary thus far

  • Cal Poly Pomona: used to rely on student self-submissions, but IR staff now do most of the remediation; Alyssa will share templates with the group

  • Dominguez Hills: previously used templates, but had difficulty getting students to use them

  • Humboldt: student submissions must be fully remediated in order to be accepted; the Library works with students on this, has templates and created a Canvas course
