Abstract

Libraries have always been creators or publishers of information. Digital technology, combined with library expertise in bibliographic control, distribution and access, provides new opportunities for libraries to create and publish material in support of teaching, learning and research. Monash University Library, as an early adopter of new technologies, has developed digital services to support more effective and creative learning and teaching. More recent initiatives are specifically intended to support research, and to work towards the transformation of scholarly communication. The word coined to capture the newly expanded role for higher-education libraries is digitorium, a play on scriptorium.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of developments to date in the evolution of the scholarly journal in terms of the transformation of the form and function of the artefacts of scholarly communication (journals and the articles they contain). The paper starts by first outlining three critical theoretical perspectives. It then proceeds to consider the transformations in the form and function of journals that are occurring or might occur. In each of these cases the insights from the relevant body of theory are drawn upon. The paper concludes by speculating on the future of the form and functions of the journal based on the discussion of theory and the literature.

Abstract

Libraries have always been adopters of new technology and the integration of such technology has enhanced the range of services and resources that can be supplied from a single library. The traditional publisher may have been lagging behind in the adoption of new technologies and it is only in recent times that publishers are using digital delivery to enhance their print-based titles. However, as the publisher is the holder of copyright to a large body of information, they could enter into competition with libraries by providing direct access to this content. This paper explores whether, in the digital age, the publisher and library are competitors or whether the real need is for synergy and partnership to create a critical mass of Australian digital content.

Abstract

This paper discusses the various full text models that have emerged in the last few years. Three basic models of full text, with variations, will be submitted to a reality check as concerns their advantages, disadvantages and challenges that lay ahead. We will be discussing Publisher-supplied full text; third-party, or Aggregator supplied full text; and Distributed, “linked” full text – in which a bibliographic database provider links to (usually) publisher-supplied full text.

Abstract

In the fast changing landscape of scientific information delivery, both libraries and publishers find themselves struggling with the overwhelming possibilities offered by new information technologies. Whether it is the publisher marketing its new electronic services or the library evaluating the inexhaustible flow of new products, the uncertainties confronted by both are tremendous. This paper describes the process of “uncertainty reduction” that increasingly characterises the new way of buying and selling electronic (scientific) journals. It is argued that the ability of library and journal publisher to reduce uncertainty determines the likelihood that a mutually satisfying outcome will be achieved. Critical in this process is the exchange of information between library and publisher. Several “communication mechanisms” will be discussed that can support library and publisher to enhance communication, and as a result reduce uncertainty.

Abstract

This paper introduces a concept for creating documents, which are gathered, annotated, and structured individually, on the basis of a common digital document collection. Possible output media are Print-on-Demand booklets as well as PDF documents or E-Books. A prototypic implementation of this concept, an XML based online study guide is described. The paper focuses on the particularities of the underlying XML Document Type Definition and the technical realization of the study guide.
