Please join us for the ALCTS Scholarly Communications Interest Group
Program at the 2013 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

We will be featuring two presentations:

*ORCID: Facilitating Interoperability for Research Universities*

Rebecca Bryant
Director of Community, ORCID*
*

ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit,
community-driven organization that provides an open registry of persistent
unique identifiers for researchers and scholars. ORCID also automates
linkages to research works by embedding identifiers in research workflows.
In this presentation, we will discuss the opportunities and benefits of
university integration with ORCID, share current integration user cases at
universities and funding agencies, and provide information about how
institutions can become ORCID members.

*The Library Publishing Coalition Project: Building Capacity for an
Emerging Area of Library Service Provision*

Charles Watkinson
Executive Group, Library Publishing Coalition
Director, Purdue University Press
Head of Scholarly Publishing Services, Purdue Libraries

The Library Publishing Coalition Project is a two year program that began
in January 2013 to build a collaborative framework to support the
development of library publishing services in academic libraries. In 2012 a
project sponsored by IMLS, "Library Publishing Services: Strategies for
Success," reported that 55% of academic libraries of all sizes were either
developing or implementing library services (including 79% of ARL
libraries). It identified major needs for the development of best
practices, collaboration to create community-based resources, and
formalization of skills and training. The LPC project represents the
response of a group of over fifty North American libraries to these
recommendations. Programs currently under development include the
publication of a directory of library publishing programs, the first of its
kind; the organization of an annual meeting, to be first held in 2014; the
creation of an online repository for sharing useful publishing tools,
workflows, and documents; and the deployment of a targeted research agenda.
This presentation will give an overview of library publishing activities as
currently understood, describe how the LPC project fits into this
landscape, and provide an update on progress so far. Plenty of time will be
left for feedback and discussion.

The presentations will be followed by a brief business meeting.
