Just Roll With It? Rolling Volumes Vs. Discrete Issues In Open Access Library And Information Science Journals, Jill Cirasella, Sally Bowdoin
Publications and Research
INTRODUCTION Articles in open access (OA) journals can be published on a rolling basis, as they become ready, or in complete, discrete issues. This study examines the prevalence of and reasons for rolling volumes vs. discrete issues among scholarly OA library and information science (LIS) journals based in the United States. METHODS A survey was distributed to journal editors, asking them about their publication model and their reasons for and satisfaction with that model. RESULTS Of the 21 responding journals, 12 publish in discrete issues, eight publish in rolling volumes, and one publishes in rolling volumes with an occasional special …

Digital Scholarship Services Faculty and Staff Publications
Between institutional repositories and hosting journals, many libraries are becoming responsible for scholarly content in new ways. While PDFs are the most common format today, the unique, local, serial content may be in variety of formats. These items may be digitized text, born digital text, audio, video, or images. This presentation will discuss formats that will remain accessible through time (PDF/A, txt, xml) so that content is not locked in proprietary formats. It will also discuss options for backing up items and associated metadata, including simple back-ups, off-site storage of files, LOCKSS, Private LOCKSS Networks, and Portico. The presenters will …

Digital Atlanta: Engaging Students With Their Local Environment, Bryan Sinclair, Joseph Hurley
Digital Atlanta: Engaging Students With Their Local Environment, Bryan Sinclair, Joseph Hurley
Joe A. Hurley
Georgia State University Library is connecting and engaging students with their local Atlanta environment through a new interdisciplinary digital project involving historical city planning maps. Designed as an educational digital humanities platform, "Planning Atlanta: A New City in the Making, 1930s–1990s," is currently being used by students in various disciplines. Through this dynamic platform, students, educators, and the public are engaging with their surroundings, discovering connections about the built environment and the past, and changing their perception of Atlanta in ways that would not be possible without the aid of this digital collection.

Library As Open Access Publisher: An Overview For Technical Service Librarians, Adrian K. Ho, Mary Beth Thomson
Adrian K. Ho
There is a growing trend within libraries to provide publishing services in direct support of open access to scholarly communication. Technical service librarians have a long and rich history of acquiring, providing access to and preserving a variety of resources from publishers, societies, governments and individuals. This session will provide an overview of the activities, processes, rights issues, and systems involved in a library published or hosted open access journal. Adrian Ho, Director of Digital Scholarship, and Mary Beth Thomson, Associate Dean for Collections, Digital Scholarship, and Technical Services for the University of Kentucky Libraries will share their experiences with …

Laura Pope Robbins is an advisor for The Charleston Advisor, and the comparative review below is included in Scholarly Commons with the permission of the publisher.
Today’s researchers are extremely mobile and are looking for ways to read and annotate documents when not in their offices. GoodReader and PDF Reader Pro are two apps that provide that capability for iPad users. Both apps can read multiple file formats and provide file management tools like rename, move, and delete. As well, they can both be linked to multiple cloud services to upload and download files. Neither app is integrated with an …
Blobaum’S Checklist For Review Of Journal Quality For Submission Of Scholarly Manuscripts, Paul M. Blobaum
Blobaum’S Checklist For Review Of Journal Quality For Submission Of Scholarly Manuscripts, Paul M. Blobaum
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
This checklist gives authors a list of quality indicators to assist in the evaluation of journal quality when considering what journal to submit a manuscript to. None of these indicators establish credibility and legitimacy alone, but together may build a body of evidence that will support evaluative judgments. Pay-to-publish models, and charges to publish articles in open-access format have been adopted by legitimate and reputable publishers over time, but the solicitation of manuscripts by new publishers, especially those opaque policies and promising a fast turn around and publication time, and promising peer review have proliferated, and many of these publication …

Tricked Into Submission: Health Science Librarian's Role In Fighting Predatory Publishing And Spamferences, Paul M. Blobaum
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
Objectives
This paper explores the phenomena of predatory publishing, pseudo-scientific conferences, and vanity press publishers. Should these publications and conference presentations count towards tenure decisions? Are faculty tenure and promotion committees also being fooled? This paper explores the librarian role as gatekeeper, curator, and broker of knowledge. What are the characteristics and danger signs of low quality and predatory publishers? How can librarians promote and support publishing with reputable publishers and help improve manuscript quality?
Methods
The Author recently served as the chair of the University Personnel Committee, the tenure and promotion committee at Governors State University, a public university …

Review: 'American Cars, 1973‐1980: Every Model, Year By Year', Jack O'Gorman
Roesch Library Faculty Publications
This title, part of an ongoing series, chronicles American cars made between 1973 and 1980. Entries include background on the nameplate, models available, cost, and measurements of the vehicle. Photos of the cars are shown by manufacturer and year, and the advertising slogans used to sell the cars are a nice touch to open each entry.Appendixes include minor makes and "replicars" (a copy of a vintage or classic automobile), option groups and packages, tire sizes, identification and recalls, and manufacturer logos. This work for American car enthusiasts may be better suited in the circulating collection than the reference collection and …

Open-Access And The Cupola, John C. Hill
Open-Access And The Cupola, John C. Hill
Blogging the Library
I am currently working to develop The Cupola, Gettysburg College’s open-access compliant institutional repository. That’s a mouthful! What, exactly, is an open-access compliant institutional repository? Since I’m a philosophy student at heart, I’ll engage in a little bit of conceptual analysis and explain what each of these constituent terms mean.
An institutional repository is a place where an institution—in this case, Gettysburg College—can store and preserving the research created by its members. The Cupola stores research by faculty, but also students. [excerpt]
A History Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Periodical Index, Part 3: Still A Work In Progress, Daniel Drazen
A History Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Periodical Index, Part 3: Still A Work In Progress, Daniel Drazen
Faculty Publications
The first two parts of the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index1 are what they claim to be. They’re histories, written with scholarship, objectivity and distance. I can claim none of this for my contribution to the history of the Index for one simple reason: I still work here. What this paper represents is a memoir rather than a history. It is about what I’ve been doing for a living for 20 years, longer than any of my predecessors. Whatever scholarship I practice will involve me racking my brain for memories as the primary source, rather than relying on …

UNL Libraries: White Papers
The C. Y. Thompson (CYT) Library enjoys a location central to east campus. This creates an ideal setting for CYT to serve as a hub for activities of all kinds. And, based upon the feedback from online surveys and face-to-face focus groups, there is no shortage of interest and ideas for how CYT can become the premier gathering place on UNL’s east campus for users from all backgrounds. In spite of this, the primary question needing to be addressed is ‘what is C. Y. Thompson’? Is it a building? Is it a library? Is it something entirely different? The task …

SURGE
I have been privileged during my lifetime to always have the opportunity to learn about something if I wanted to. When I became interested in music and psychology—or even when I was learning how to apply for college—I googled it. The resources to obtain information have always been there for me: access to computers, the internet, books, journals. It is hard to imagine my life without a computer or access to books to learn about the world, and even harder to imagine if I did not know how to read or write. For this, I can thank my education and …

Searching Mindfully: Are Libraries Up To The Challenge Of Competing With Google Books?, Amrita Dhawan
Searching Mindfully: Are Libraries Up To The Challenge Of Competing With Google Books?, Amrita Dhawan
Publications and Research
Traditional research tools used by libraries, such as encyclopedias and catalogs (OPACs) were created in an age of print and information scarcity. They have not kept up with changes in the information world which assume an abundance of online information in different formats and interdisciplinary topics which attempt to solve ‘real world’ messy problems and not traditional theoretical questions. The traditional tools rest on an unwieldy and somewhat outdated collaboration between OCLC, LOC, private aggregators, librarians and faculty. The search results they deliver offer excessive information with very little guidance on how to systematically sift through them. This makes the …
