1. California Digital Library eScholarship Repository Int’l Conference on Digital Institutional Repositories 9-10 December 2004, Hong Kong Catherine H.Candee Director, Publishing and Strategic Initiatives Office of Scholarly Communication University of California

2. Why does UC want to change scholarly communication? 32 million items held by UC; shared CD strategies constrained; redundant print collections undermine development of collections needed for research & teaching UC serials expenditures > $20 million, even with economies of scale 50% of UC’s online materials budget for journals receiving only 25% of the use. UC faculty > 13% of senior editors at top 2,000 journals and a significant % of authors

3. UC efforts to safeguard the flow of scholarly output System wide Library and Scholarly Information Advisory Committee (SLASIAC): leads university- wide effort to improve scholarly communication system to meet research & teaching mission System wide Faculty Senate Advisory Committee on Scholarly Communication (SASC): leads senate actions to address issues of copyright management and tenure rewards Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC): seeks to develop financially sustainable models and improve all areas of scholarly communication

49. PostPrints; PostRef? Response to faculty desire for greater control over management and use of creative output Takes advantage of liberalized “reprint” (postprint) policies by publishers Allows universities to capture and manage pools of content; allows development of new third-party value-added services (and may help end the fight over control of content) A future “PostRef” service?
