Workshop: Innovation in the Library, UMBC: From Digital Depository to e-Publishers
Aa Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) Workshop

George Washington University, Washington, DC,
June 13, 2012, 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
Facilitated by UMBC Faculty and Librarians

E-publishing is not merely the replication of print formats, but
something entirely new for us to invent. We will explore the
intersections of repositories, publishing, and the digital humanities,
then brainstorm innovative models for publishing, peer-reviewing,
distributing, and archiving inextricably digital works that cannot be
published in print form. Discussion will range from the theoretical to
the elements and design of platforms and tools from a cross-
disciplinary approach.

The workshop will be led by the core group of UMBC faculty and
librarians who developed the initial concepts of the UMBC Digital
Publishing Initiative. Participants from an array of fields are
invited (publishers, IT professionals, kibrarians, scholar authors,
policy makers).

Workshop participants are encouraged to consider also attending an
additional workshop related to digital publishing, "Using CLIR/NITLE
Anvil for e-Publication from University Libraries, University Presses,
and Scholarly Societies".
