November 4, 2014. This session is intended to provide students and recent graduates with an opportunity to present their work during the main conference on areas of interest relevant to information and knowledge management. The session will also serve as a social meeting point to facilitate networking between students, faculty, and professionals. Note: Presenters do not have to attend the conference in order to qualify. To accommodate individuals who cannot attend the conference, we are accepting pre-made video presentations and mailed-in posters. All abstracts, presentation media, and posters will be published on the SIG DL website after the conference. Topics Poster and lightning talk presentation proposals should focus on innovative projects that explore digital libraries through topics concerning community and/or culture, in keeping with this year?s ASIS&T annual meeting theme. Proposals may include, but are not limited to, past research, case studies, and current projects on areas such as social network analysis, linked data, open access and new publishing models, crowd-sourcing, big data, digital humanities, citizen science, or other projects falling within the panel?s theme. (The list is meant to be illustrative, not prescriptive.) Who is Eligible? Submissions can be made as a single author or a group of authors, including collaborations between students or recent graduates from different institutions. Student chapters are particularly encouraged to submit a poster as a group. Authors do NOT need to be members of ASIS&T. However, they must pay for the conference registration fee and related expenses if attending in person. Students and recent graduates are encouraged to consult faculty and professional mentors but should not allow them to be a significant contributor to the content. All research is expected to be purely the students' or recent graduates' work and could include coursework, internship experiences, work-related experience, and independent interests, including theses or other capstone projects. Selection Criteria Up to 10 posters and 5 lightning talk proposals will be accepted for the panel session. Poster submissions must include an abstract of no less than 250 words and a one-page storyboard or mock-up of the poster. Lightning talk submissions must include a two-page paper using the ASIST short paper template available at https://www.asis.org/asist2014/AM14ProceedingsFormat.pdf. Students should indicate whether they will be present at the conference and which format they plan to present. Both posters and lightning talk proposals will be selected based on the following criteria: relevance of topics to the Digital Liaisons session and SIG DL mission, feasibility of presentation within a compressed format, and originality of research. Poster Format The posters will be displayed around the room for the entire session, including during the lightning talks. Students or recent graduates who are unable to attend the session will be allowed to mail in their poster ahead of time or have a colleague put it up for them. Lightning Talks Lightning talks will consist of 5-minute presentations with no more than 10 slides (optional). Presenters may, alternatively, submit a video of their talk.

Jones and Paul N. Courant This article describes an exploratory study examining one contentious aspect of the relationship between university presses and academic libraries: the trends in purchases of university press books by academic libraries. The study provides an empirical basis for evaluating the frequent claim that the declining fortunes of university presses can be blamed primarily on declines in monographic purchasing by academic libraries. Our analysis indicates that this relationship is not clear-cut for at least three reasons: first, to the extent that purchasing reductions have occurred, they have occurred much more recently than many accounts have suggested; second, purchasing trends vary significantly between different sizes of libraries; and third, purchasing trends for university press books are very different from those for monographs in general. These findings cast substantial doubt on the proposition that changes in university library purchasing behaviour dating to the 1990s 'serials crisis' are principally responsible for the current economic malaise of university presses. DOI 10.3138/jsp.46.1.003 >From Book Publishers to Authors: Elea Gim?nez-Toledo, Sylvia Fern?ndez-G?mez, Carlos Tejada-Artigas and Jorge Ma?ana-Rodr?quez The publishing processes and standards in scholarly journals are much better known than those of the publishers of scholarly books. Since scholarly books are key channels of communication and academic assessment in the humanities and social sciences, information provided by publishers concerning their publishing processes is very important both for authors and panelists (at funding and evaluation agencies). This article focuses on the analysis of the transparency of publishers in relation to the information they offer to authors. The main objective is to identify and analyze the publishing practices of two hundred scholarly book publishers of social sciences and humanities with respect to the information that they provide on their Web sites about their publishing processes. A lack of information on these Web sites is the main finding of the study. Among Spanish publishers, only 11.2 per cent explicitly state that they have a review system by experts. At the international level, the situation improves, but the shortcomings are still evident. Some guidelines for publishers are outlined and proposed. DOI 10.3138/jsp.46.1.004 How to Be an Effective Peer Reviewer: Stephen K. Donovan Peer review is an essential component of modern academic publishing, but it is a task that is commonly learnt by trial and error rather than a published set of rules or principals. To review a research paper requires a close knowledge of the subject area, but contrasting reviews by a generalist and an expert in the field may provide a better appreciation of a paper's merits to an editor than those of two experts. Reviews are there for the edification and information of the editor and to be passed on to the author; do your best to provide a constructive response.
