On January 1, 2012, ONU's Benner Library started a Department of Digital Initiatives to help support the growing amount of work to be done in maintaining its open access institutional repository and other digitization projects. Setting up the new department involved a number of challenging and important assignments, like finding the physical space for the tasks that needed to be accomplished, purchasing new hardware and software, planning for additional staffing, creating new scanning support procedures, establishing a new digital presence for its University Archives, and buttressing new faculty communication concerning open access, copyright, publisher contracts, and ejournal publishing. An increasing number of university libraries have started digital publishing programs and there are good reasons why they are doing so. We are in the middle of revolutionary change as to how ideas get published and distributed. The Borders bookstores have gone out of business. Over twenty percent of scholarly publishing has gone open access and continues to increase at a rapid rate. Students and others needing to learn something turn increasingly to digital forms of information on their handhelds – a world-side phenomenon. As open access forms of scholarship increases, traditional library tasks like periodical acquisitions and check-in will decrease. What are you doing to grow your faculty scholarship publishing efforts or to increase your Archives’ digital presence? What local information does your school release, keep, and/or publish that could be made available digitally worldwide? Librarians are perfectly placed in our society to know quality research materials so why shouldn’t we be a part of the new publishing solution? Let’s step up, create new initiatives and be a part of the new information provision scene. It may just save the library as an educational institution.
