19. The Scholarly Communications Crisis “Our institutional efforts to develop services that would respond to the publishing crisis have taught us an important lesson: attempts to improve scholarly communication by exciting individual faculty ire or inspiration have surfaced issues, stirred passions and illustrated boundless possibilities for the niche and informal communications that are the hallmark of 21st- century scholarlship – but they have not and likely will not fundamentally change the way scholarly publishing works. UC faculty would like to see the university play a more active role in blunting the effect of the commercialization of academic publishing, but they will not and cannot risk their own academic lives to make it happen.” - Catherine Candee and Lynne Withey, SLASIAC Report

20. Findings: faculty survey; campus visits Tenure/promotion criteria are a major impediment to use of non-standard (digital) formats for “archival publication” At the same time, a growing # of UC faculty are eager for university support for creating, validating, publishing, recognizing their new scholarly activities Those faculty who use eScholarship services, either as authors or as end-user researchers are quite please with what they get And yet, only a small percentage of faculty have ever heard of the eScholarship Repository – the very word “repository” may be a barrier to use

21. Phase 2

22. eScholarship – phase 2 goals Focus publishing services on the articulated needs of the scholarly enterprise writ large and small Respond to disciplinary difference and to disciplinary/interdisciplinary formation Validate and develop scalable services for non- traditional scholarly publishing efforts Listen, communicate, listen… (outreach and marketing campaign)

23. eScholarship Publishing Services Launch a low-budget journal Manage conference proposals and publishing proceedings Support the creation of disciplinary collections Enable new and emerging kinds of scholarly publication that defy typical generic categorization and require technical infrastructure and support Help faculty manage the annual biobib requirement, maintain a scholarly homepage
