Guiding Principles
►
To remain competitive the university must provide a
research infrastructure for its faculty that will ensure
productivity and stimulate innovation in all aspects
of the research, teaching and learning cycle
►
Publishing must be conceived more broadly than the
production of an archival record; it is an integral part
of the research enterprise
►
Publishing must embrace a suite of production and
dissemination activities, some of which will be
revenue generating
►
Publishing must enable faculty to create and
distribute works via the most appropriate means
UC Strategy
► Align
UC publishing services with the academic
enterprise of the University of California
► Broaden
the role of the university press beyond
gatekeeper for a select few; reclaim and extend
the original role of the university press
► Develop
publishing services to be interoperable
with services for research and supplementary data
► Coordinate
planning across the UC system, find
intersections in IT planning, digital stewardship,
research data support, publishing and preservation
UC Publishing 2007-2008
►
Extend repository-based services to support the
implementation of UC policy on faculty copyright
►
Formalize a collaboratory structure for UC Press and CDL’s
eScholarship Office to focus efforts in strategic publishing
initiatives
►
Provide a robust journal publication service: offer a menu
of choices for editorial assistance, production quality, print
and access options
►
Implement cost-recovery mechanisms; secure open access
options
►
Seek efficiencies across traditional publishing modalities,
e.g., books and journals; invest savings in R&D for
emerging publishing modalities
