Topics• Altmetrics• Creating data management plans• Creative Commons licenses• eScholarship• EZID accounts• NIH Public Access Policy compliance• Open access publishing• UC OA Policy• Understanding article publication
agreements
Concept• I5-minute
presentations, on trends in academic publishing, delivered to campus departments and organizations.
Origin & Purpose• Tied to goals:
Short term: create an active consultation and education program Long term: be the campus authority on scholarly communication and
publishing
• To increase the Scholarly Communication Program's visibility
• To just be available to do presentations wasn't enough
• To have a way to track the presentations we were doing as a result of general outreach - tabling, programs, responding to OA Fund questions, and good old fashion liaison work
• To address the problem of low attendance at drop-in sessions and programs; if they won't come to us, we'll go to them
Implementation• Outreach Department helped to develop branding and publicity - the flyer, the webform, website
and easy to use URL; campus wide email announcement sent
• Be flexible! For example, when French & Italian dept. requested three presentations, but limited me to 30 minutes
librarians can complete the request form for their departments longer presentations are available upon request
• Response & Feedback conducted 3 sessions between April and May (FRIT; Sociology; Office of Research) One librarian announced the program at a faculty meeting that she attended, and was
pleased to be able to show and leave the flyer
• Fall outreach plans: info at Library Open House, Library newsletter article, emails from liaison librarians, Open Access Week programs and tabling, OA Policy implementation tie-in
