1. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton UCLA’s Scholarly Communication Program Talk at One; Walk at Two

2. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton What’s different about an SC Program? It’s not bibliographic services, instruction, collections It’s faculty advocacy and education You’re trying to make it their issue, not the Library’s Librarians need to learn and stay on top of a new body of knowledge

3. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Getting started: the steering committee Comprise membership carefully Have a clear plan of direction and specific goals Carrying out a program without an org. chart

4. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Lessons from the first year Focus on the campus Started out with four components and dropped two of the program Kept faculty outreach, services and education and librarian education and training Dropped R&D and policy and position papers– let your consortium, ARL, SPARC build tools, develop white papers

5. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton More lessons from the first year Organize outreach around departments, i.e. disciplines Means you have to rely on your front line librarians, every one of them

6. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Training Librarians: Disciplines Matter Set up training for librarians by broad disciplinary areas Sessions on:  Crises in permissions AND pricing  Copyright management  Open Access  Institutional Repositories

7. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Got answers? I want to start an open access journal in psychology. Can you help me? I want to use an author’s agreement that allows me to post my article on a web site. How do I do that? I edit this journal that has been published for years at UCLA. Shall I sign this agreement with EBSCO to go electronic? I want to start depositing these public policy seminar papers in eScholarship. How do I do that?

8. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Walking the walk at two Building partnerships with key campus stakeholders Leveraging a big event with both faculty and administrators Getting and keeping the attention of the senate leadership Library is perceived as leader in issues of IP

9. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Lessons learned from year two Organize your outreach by department Do not underestimate the hold of the big, powerful publishers on individual faculty Humanists are hard to reach. Copyright does matter only if its practical to them So, did you forget about that Department of Information Studies next door

10. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Best laid plans Insert SC responsibilities in librarians job responsibilities Can’t provide services for managing CR if you don’t have FTE Take full advantage of eScholarship Repository

11. SC in UC July 15 2006 Cynthia Shelton Finally: move as quickly to department as possible Think of the possibilities: bring together CR service, licensing, IR development Necessary for momentum (walk the walk) Make part of job responsibility and performance evaluation Can give resources to department but not to a committee You avoid the trap of playing to strengths only
