ASIST DASER SummitNovember 2003
Suzanne SamuelCalifornia Digital Library
UC: One university, one library California Digital Library (CDL)
UC’s 11th library
launched in 1998
Economies of scale: CDL collections include 130,000 online books, 8,000+ scholarly journals, 4,500 statistical files, 250 reference databases, 300,000 digital images of works in architecture and the visual arts
eScholarship
Innovations in scholarly communication in support of research and teaching
An initiative of the California Digital Library, started in 2000
Collaborate with faculty, university presses, societies, and libraries re. changes in scholarly communication
Offer faculty fast, reliable, credible means to disseminate research results and advance scholarship
Why eScholarship? Why UC?
Budget Crisis: Escalating costs and growing volume of publications diminishes buying power of library, threatens adequacy of collections for research
Critical mass: UC faculty comprise > 12% of senior editors at top 2,000 journals
Testbed: Size of UC collections, services, and community test scalability
eScholarship Repository Research from centers, research units, and departments
across UC Deposit any faculty research or scholarly output they
deem appropriate Faculty units are editorial and administrative gatekeepers
Supports full spectrum of publishing activity:
Unvetted: working papers, pre-prints, technical reports, conference papers…
Peer-reviewed: articles, edited volumes, peer-reviewed journals…
Opened in April 2002
eScholarship Repository

Repository Software
Proprietary software licensed from the Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) for use by UC departments, research units
Wouldn’t we’d rather be using open-source? Yes!
Have we yet found open-source software that does everything we want? Alas, not yet…
Repository Software & License bepress: UCB faculty start-up originally
focused on ejournals EdiKit software adapted for repository through
codevelopment agreement codevelopment: we specify and pay, they develop
License now covering software, support, training, and rollout We contract with bepress to tell UC research units,
centers, departments about the eScholarship Repository and sign them up
Implementation Model Distributed rollout: CDL, bepress, campuses Empower the research units and departments
They designate system administrator and others in the unit with upload privileges
bepress builds repository site for unit bepress trains the administrator and key people,
usually by phone Unit uploads papers, which they select and manage
No oversight, gatekeeping, or paper uploading from CDL
Spreading the Word: Key Players in the Repository Rollout
CDL project manager eScholarship liaisons: one per campus bepress staff (one main person) Campus evangelizers
Distributed Rollout: Pros & Cons
Pro: Enables project to scale, and grow Allows for rapidity of response without constraints of
other library workload Centralizes, from outreach to training to questions
Con: “Who is William Wong?” Requires close management of outside contractor and
alignment with library mission Policy questions end up back at CDL anyway
Distributed Rollout
Necessities: Someone who knows what they don't know Someone eminently capable Campus liaisons and evangelizers Good working relationship
Policy: Issues We Decide
Agreement with CDL required, one per unit Units are required to get author agreements Author retains copyright, gives non-exclusive
right to unit and CDL Permanent citation to paper, even if paper
ultimately hidden Content need not be by UC faculty Faculty unit has full editorial responsibility
Policy: Issues Faculty Decide
Author review of papers prior to posting Editorial review of papers prior to
posting
Policy: Other Issues
Subsequent journal publication: citation to article? removal of working paper?
