Libraries, Electronic Resources, and Electronic Publishing

Leonne Portz

For the fourth year in a row, an electronic publishing course was given. Although the general structure of this course remains the same, new presentations are included every year. The course is designed for library managers/directors, IT or systems librarians, licensing officers, and digital library project managers from academic and research libraries. The course is also highly relevant for publishers

On the first day Donald King (University of Pittsburgh, School of Information Science) spoke about trends in e-Publishing and made a comparisons of the cost and use of electronic and print journal collections.
Teun Nijssen (Tilburg University, IT Services) talked about IT issues, trends and developments including selecting hardware and software, library portals, metadata, document formats and authentication and authorization.
Emanuella Giavarra (Chambers of Mark Watson-Gandy) reported about legal issues: copyright, intellectual property, copyright infringements and licensing issues.
Finally the workshop by Hans Geleijnse (Tilburg University, IT Services) focussed on experiences, best approaches and best practices towards effective use of electronic resources and on impediments to move to from hybrid to electronic-only.

On the second day Jonathan Clark (Elsevier) spoke on electronic publishing in practice. What is the long-term strategy of Elsevier? How are developments in electronic publishing affecting users (authors and readers), editors, Elsevier, and libraries? What is user driven development and why is it important?
Johan Steenbakkers (National Library of the Netherlands) talked about permanent archiving of electronic publications. He analysed the problem of permanent availability of electronic publications and focussed on the e-Deposit system developed by the national library of the Netherlands and IBM, the status of permanent digital archiving in general and co-operation with publishers.
Arnold Hirshon (NELINET) reported on international library consortia and the information industry.
Finally Hans Roosendaal (University of Twente, Faculty of Philosophy and Social Science, Faculty of Computer Science) discussed the art of negotiating during both a lecture and an extensive group exercise.

On the last day of the course, Herbert Van De Sompel (Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library) lectured about the OAI-PMH and the OpenURL. This was followed by a workshop on how to create your own open archive.
Hans Roosendaal (University of Twente, Faculty of Philosophy and Social Science, Faculty of Computer Science) spoke on the future of e-publishing and the role of universities in the value chain.
In A wrapp-up session, Hans Geleijnse (Tilburg University, IT Services) spoke on the future role of libraries.
