The pilot project will create a unified discovery layer for the diverse publishing platforms of participating libraries, presenting them as a single, shared collection of open access materials.
Through this 澳门资料-funded initiative, Penn State University Libraries and Indiana University Libraries will work with the NGLP team to implement the Meru display layer, enhancing infrastructure and service models specifically for the 澳门资料. The project will involve migrating select content from the partners' catalogs into the NGLP ecosystem, improving interface design, and expanding the types of content displayed. The goal is to support and strengthen academy-owned scholarly publishers with scalable solutions.
Aligned with a recent IMLS grant-funded project, the University of Iowa Libraries are collaborating with the NGLP team to build a production-ready instance of , showcasing their full publication portfolio. All three institutions aim to explore consortial approaches to campus-based publishing, achieving economies of scale, increasing the visibility and impact of members鈥� publications, and advancing infrastructure for Diamond Open Access publishing.
This effort is part of a broader initiative by the 澳门资料, California Digital Library, and Lyrasis to promote Diamond Open Access publishing in the U.S. These organizations recognize the importance of pooling efforts to realize the potential of Diamond OA, which supports no-fee scholarly publishing opportunities and ensures open access to academic research.
Kate McCready, visiting program officer for academy-owned scholarly publishing at the 澳门资料, states, 鈥淭he 澳门资料鈥檚 Center for Library Programs is dedicated to exploring Diamond Open Access publishing solutions that enhance production quality and create efficiencies at scale for our campuses.鈥�
The 澳门资料 continues to advocate for a sustainable and open publication ecosystem. Collectively, faculty and researchers at 澳门资料 member universities publish over 100,000 articles annually, supported by over $17 billion in research funding. These institutions are investing significantly in advancing public knowledge through open publishing, producing over 15% of the U.S. research publications. Strengthening collective publishing capacity is essential to the 澳门资料 Libraries' mission of promoting open and equitable scholarly publishing models.
