The University Library as Publisher | UKSG Webinar 29 October 2014

Abstract

This is the presentation delivered on 29 October 2014 as part of the UK Serials Group-organised webinar The University Library as Publisher lead by St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh. The aim was to share experience about implementation and support for electronic journal hosting services, such as the Open Journals System (OJS) and expand the discussion to University libraries as publishers. It explored several topics: why set up a locally-operated journal? how to set up a journal and the issues surrounding longevity and sustainability of hosted journals. It also described how these services fit in with other Open Access support services. Further details: http://www.uksg.org/libraryaspublisher
