Presentation Topic
Journal administration and publishing
Description
When I started as an IR manager at Nova Southeastern University (September 2014), the IR had been live for 6 months and one of the in process pilot projects was a journal with 219 back issues dating to 1990. The journal was still on the demonstration site when I started. In this presentation I will discuss the ways in which I interacted with the journal staff, the full migration of all issues and the ensuing projects that have developed due to the primary editor’s interest. These include a conference, book publishing and four additional journals. One of the most important workflow methods I used was the Batch Revise tool to upload multiple issues at once.
As an IR manager who also works in the University Archives, I have firsthand experience with the archival collections as well as the ability to direct what is chosen for digitization and inclusion in the repository. In this presentation, I will discuss a few of the projects which we have focused on at Nova Southeastern University and how several of them have created goodwill relations with administrative staff involved in Development and Community and Donor Relations.
