1 OJS Journal and Simultaneous Print on Demand: a case study at the University of Melbourne Eve Young, James Williams and Helen Morgan, escholarship Research Centre, University of Melbourne

2 Speakers Eve Coordinator requirements, players, what was delivered, problems, the future. James I.T. Manager software configuration and setup, how the software delivered and the Print on demand component, the launch. Helen Web Designer website intricacies.

3 Groups and responsibilities esrc Library, IT and Web skills coordinated and set up School owners of content, editors and sub-editing, determined image for cover, look of web page and book design Copyright Office UniMelb copyright deed, author letters UniMelb Privacy Office statement University Bookshop Book production, layout, web advertising and selling University Printers quotes, printing

4 How delivered Meetings, meetings, meetings OJS and OCS software downloaded Discussed with other OJS users, Swinburne, Uni Sydney, ANU How to use OJS Issue to be created first POD queries OJS forum and other publishers School organised authors, did editing We supplied software, storage and set up. POD price, cover size and design, and print run

5 Bookshop Sales

6 What we delivered!

7 What we forgot to do Emphasise the online open access aspect of OJS Factor in the costs of providing legal deposit books gratis to the various university, state and national libraries, and the School itself.

8 Future Directions Business case for epublishing Online presence for UniMelb small journals and print publications. Be involved with Open Monograph Systems Strengthen collaborative ties between the Library, Faculties and the University Bookshop. Print on Demand: The Library in association with the University Bookshop

9 Espresso Book Machine Prints black-and-white text for a 300-page paperback with a four-color cover, and binds it together in three minutes. Publishing overlay journals from the repository Link between repository and epublishing and shared storage of items

10 What about the Institutional Repository (IR)? The question of Institutional Repositories for storage and dissemination of theses and other published works is often raised. While a bigger picture awareness is often necessary, unfortunately, it is very easy to be lead astray or side-tracked. Taking a single example, let s consider interoperability between OJS and the typical IR

13 Back to Basics A Pilot Project Pilot so begin with minimal technology footprint! Servers are often assumed to be Big Why? For initial testing/proof-of-concept, virtual servers! Accessible using standard desktop hardware.

17 Technical Tweaks Technical Tweaks (OJS) User addresses: Individual logins vs. administrative logins Workflows and roles Test Server Tweaks Protected LDAP/AD logins via SSL

18 Simultaneous Print-On-Demand (POD) The Print-On-Demand aspect/requirement was likely to be an integral part of the pilot from the outset. Absolutely Fundamental: Citability and Persistence. Mixing the digital and print worlds so they play nicely requires some forethought and give-and-take. Having the right mix of skills and backgrounds is a significant factor for a smooth production.

19 Print vs. Digital and Form vs. Content Considerations for print vs. digital publications raised questions and contributed richness to the form and content of both. Taking the print world as the paradigm and following standard copyediting norms, the form of the paper publication was conceived. Awareness that the digital objects (PDFs) would be available simultaneously as an online, open-access publication allowed richer citation to be fed back into the print world version(s).

20 Digitally rich citations in a paper world The online/digital publication provides harvestable metadata, while the print/paper publication cites digital equivalents with forward-thinking metadata. In this way, using the exact same digital objects with a pre-defined granularity, we were able to cater to the widest range of audiences, mediums and systems: Expectations of paper / print representations; Online, digital, citable, persistent open-access; IR harvestable metadata and digital objects.
