IUScholarWorks Journals Service Panel Discussion
Moderated by Jennifer Laherty
Digital Publishing Librarian, IUScholarWorks

When: March 24, 2010

Where: Wells Library E174

Time: 12 p.m. - 1 p.m.

The IUScholarWorks Journal Service is an open access publishing option for IU scholars who desire local control over their journals. Editors from four IUScholarWorks journals will discuss their experiences working with IUScholarWorks to host their publications.

They will focus on these areas:
* Editorial workflow support
* Software training
* Design customization
* Technical processes
* Migrating backfile content
* Bilingual publishing
* Publishing formats: pdf, xml, html
* Copyright consultation

The editors will comment on how the software programs (Open Journal Systems and DSpace) support their needs as publishers, and share their view on the open access business model. They will also provide feedback from their authors and readers. IUScholarWorks is supported by the IU Libraries and the IU Digital Library Program, a collaborative effort of the IU Libraries and University Information Technology Services.
