Found In Translation: Communicating The Value & Impact Of Library Publishing--Finding Stories, Matt Ruen Mar 2015

Found In Translation: Communicating The Value & Impact Of Library Publishing--Finding Stories, Matt Ruen

Matt Ruen

At Grand Valley State University, the Libraries’ publishing program grew out of the scholarly communications program and regular library services, rather than a separate university press or publishing center. This organic process has kept our scholarly communications team closely engaged with and visible to liaison librarians and other partners. As our programs have evolved, the Libraries’ assessment measures have increasingly included activities related to publishing and scholarly communications. However, existing reporting practices, focused as they are on the impact of other library units, are incomplete tools for understanding the impact, effectiveness, and needs of the publishing program. As a result, …

Creative Commons – Saving The Internet One License At A Time, Michelle Armstrong

Traditionally copyright has been inflexible, creating few opportunities for those who wish to share or use a new work. Copyright is automatically assigned as soon as an original creation is fixed in a tangible medium. Although registering a work with the U.S. Copyright Office may be beneficial, is not required for an author to receive the rights and protections provided by the federal law. Under this system, anyone wanting to use a creation is limited to the allowable uses outlined in the law or must justify their use through a fair use analysis. All other applications of a work are …
