Library Publishing Toolkit - Introduction Chapter

The Library Publishing Toolkit looks at the broad and varied landscape of library publishing through discussions, case studies, and shared resources. From supporting writers and authors in the public library setting to hosting open access journals and books, this collection examines opportunities for libraries to leverage their position and resources to create and provide access to content.https://digitalcommons.humboldt.edu/reprint/1000/thumbnail.jp

Building Responsive Library Collections with the Getting It System Toolkit

The Getting It System Toolkit (GIST), a suite of free and open source tools & software, leverages systems to optimize library acquisitions and deselection workflow, reducing the staff time necessary to make informed decisions and process materials. The Toolkit is divided into two functions:GIST for ILLiad consists of three components that enhance the ILLiad® interlibrary loan request management software: addons, webpage customizations, and the acquisitions manager. All three components may be selectively utilized in ILLiad, for instance, ILLiad web pages may be applied to enhance the end-user request interface to add full-text discovery, or an ILLiad Addon can help ILL’s purchase on demand program discover the best way to purchase items difficult to borrow. By combining all three and customizing these components for your library, you achieve significant benefits and optimize the combination of Acquisitions and ILL services.The GIST Gift & Deselection Manager (GDM) is designed to manage and streamline library workflow for processing gifts and evaluating materials for weeding. It is standalone open-source software that automates the gathering of data for evaluating donations; including holdings, edition comparisons, full-text, and other data. The GDM also enables collection managers to perform item-by-item deselection or use the batch analysis tool to create custom deselection reports for large weeding projects.Building Responsive Library Collections with the Getting It System Toolkit combines helpful how-tos from the developers themselves, and first-hand implementation accounts from users of these time-saving tools. The volume is split into the Toolkit’s use with ILLiad and GDM, providing easy reference for users. This manual is an invaluable resource to any library using, or considering using, the Getting It System Toolkit.

Library Publishing Toolkit

Both public and academic libraries are invested in the creation and distribution of information and digital content. They have morphed from keepers of content into content creators and curators, and seek best practices and efficient workflows with emerging publishing platforms and services. The Library Publishing Toolkit looks at the broad and varied landscape of library publishing through discussions, case studies, and shared resources. From supporting writers and authors in the public library setting to hosting open access journals and books, this collection examines opportunities for libraries to leverage their position and resources to create and provide access to content.The Library Publishing Toolkit is a project funded partially by Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing Program funds which are administered and supported by the Rochester Regional Library Council. The toolkit is a united effort between Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo and the Monroe County Library System to identify trends in library publishing, seek out best practices to implement and support such programs, and share the best tools and resources. Our goals include to: Develop strategies libraries can use to identify types of publishing services and content that can be created and curated by libraries. Assess trends in digital content creation and publishing that can be useful in libraries and suggesting potential future projects. Identify efficient workflows for distributing content for free online and with potential for some cost-recovery in print on demand markets. A list of chapters is available in the full record.https://knightscholar.geneseo.edu/idsproject-press/1002/thumbnail.jp

SelfPub 2.0

The self-publishing revolution has created a drastic increase in the number or works being published in the social sciences and humanities. This windfall of content has created an abundance that can be overwhelming, but it ultimately presents an opportunity for libraries to develop deeper and more unique collections. The preconference at the 2013 Charleston Conference focused on several interrelated topics in the self-publishing world: navigating the abundance of self-published material, libraries’ adoption of the role of publisher, vendor perspectives on self-published content and plans for the future, issues in humanities and social science acquisitions of self-published works, and an agent’s perspective on how self-publishing fits into the traditional publishing world. Speakers include librarians, publishers, vendors, and academics involved with a number of projects and efforts to pioneer this emerging field

Transforming Document Delivery & Resource Sharing for Today and the New Year

This presentation describes means of streamlining workflows; implementing ideas and new technologies to solve problems; and the future of interlibrary loan. The presentation showcases existing and emerging local, regional, and professional association migration strategies that facilitate efficient workflows

Alternative Formats: Verification and Delivery Challenges

This presentation is part of a ALA preconference "Yin & Yang: Bringing Balance to Resource Sharing" for advanced resource sharing practitioners. The focus of this presentation are tools for verifying citations and locating alternative sources to fill Interlibrary Loan borrowing requests. The ideas expressed here emphasize the need to experiment with emergent technology and new web services

Resonant Resource Sharing: Transformation Strategies for Resource Sharing

Cyril Oberlander shares his vision of interlibrary loan, resource sharing, document delivery and global library service. What innovations, projects and trends resonate with the future of interlibrary loan service? How can we work together on strategies that effectively scale service? How are important decisions about the future being made, and who’s making them? What helps focus our distributed efforts, systems, etc.? Using key examples of best practices, this presentation blends analysis of workflow and strategic opportunities/challenges for resource sharing to raise serious questions about current practices, policies, and projects

Emergent Resource Sharing & Interlibrary Loan

Resource sharing and Interlibrary Loan face exciting opportunities to develop new connections between information and library resources and services. Emergent consumer technology is radically changing the nature of Library service; however, we can shape the transformation of resource sharing and interlibrary loan. Framing the evolution of request management systems and resource sharing workflow are communities of adaptations to the changed information and technology landscape. The redefining of our profession and role relies on adopting emergent technology and web services, developing and sharing our knowledge and skills, and advocating new partnerships within libraries and beyond, with users, information organizations, and vendors. This presentation explores emerging roles for resource sharing and interlibrary loan with a focus on sharing new services and technologies, best practices for adaptation and new partnerships
