A means of doing this is to implement an IR, providing institutions an opportunity to showcase senior theses, and student and faculty peer-reviewed journals. Presentation includes representatives from a small college, a consortium of small colleges, and a university with a university press. Teresa Fishel Scholarly Communication Digital Collections Institutional Repository Library as publisher http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/11 http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/11 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:52:24 PST This report is the first report of the merged organization that includes the DeWitt Wallace Library, Media Services, and campus Web Services. It is a summary of activities and statistics for the academic year 2006-07. This report is a collaborative effort by the entire staff and features highlights including new services, new people, new collections, new spaces, new technologies, and celebrations. Teresa Fishel http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/10 http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/10 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:51:31 PST Institutional repositories are more than just a place to deposit faculty pre-prints, post-print, and OA articles. IRs offer colleges and universities an opportunity to showcase student senior theses, award winning papers, and student peer-reviewed journals. We have also found that IRs can provide a means of distributing campus publications in an open access environment. What began as a solution for managing student honor theses has expanded to include three student peer-reviewed journals, a campus alumni publication, and the entire series of publications for our Institute for Global Citizenship. Using the bepress software in DigitalCommons, the Macalester College library has taken on an expanding role in providing a platform for disseminating campus publications. Our presentation focuses on our work in promoting, populating, and now publishing in a small liberal arts college environment. We discuss planning, policy, and sustainability issues. We begin by sharing our experiences in providing open access for student honor theses and some of the challenges we encountered as well as challenges in developing policies that were mindful of copyright both for the student authors and for potential users. We will discuss how our efforts to populate our institutional repository, led to discovering new opportunities to work with faculty on student peer reviewed publications which led to the collaboration in publishing a traditionally print journal in our open access environment. These efforts led to the development of a born-digital journal, Studies in Mediterranean Antiquities and Classics. We have continued to expand the collections culminating in posting the entire collection of journals for the Institute of Global Citizenship as a result of our Digital Project Manager articulating the benefits of OA. In addition to providing insights to our challenges and small successes, increasing visibility for campus publications with successful results will be demonstrated with some brief statistics. We hope to demonstrate that our underlying philosophy is that one of the new roles for academic libraries of all sizes will be to become a publisher on campus. Our presentation will provide a roadmap for others who are in the initial stages of exploring the development of an institutional repository.

Teresa Fishel Scholarly Communication http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/6 http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/6 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:15:03 PDT This Digital Collections Master Plan is intended to guide the work of creating, collecting and managing digital content such as electronic/digital text, images, and audio/video materials produced by and for Macalester College. This plan is not intended to address issues related to materials that are purchased for the use of the college, but rather addresses the materials produced or published by our own faculty, students, and staff or other individuals who are connected to the college for specific events or teaching purposes. It is imperative that the library focus on local digital collections in order to meet the mission of functioning as a gateway and comprehensive information center in support of research and instruction at Macalester College.

A powerpoint presentation accompanies the text. The subject of the presentation was a look at the types of statistics that are currently collected by the ALS, ACRL, and other surveys. Questions are raised as to the type of information we are collecting and whether it is of use to us in analyzing trends or making decisions related to process improvements in academic libraries. Teresa Fishel Statistics http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/3 http://works.bepress.com/teresa_fishel/3 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:15:01 PDT Minneapolis, a lively city known for its lakes, culture, and high quality of life, is host of ACRL's 12th National Conference, "Currents and Convergence: Navigating the Rivers of Change," April 7-10, 2005. Minneapolis and its twin St. Paul offer the convention attendee a wide range of activities and events. From art, music, and dance to architectural delights; from an almost limitless range of dining to world-class museums, sporting events, and libraries, both cities bring the visitor traditional Midwestern hospitality in a cosmopolitan setting. And nearby is the Mall of America, attracting shoppers from around the world. Teresa A. Fishel
