Publication Constructing the Magazine of Early American Datasets (MEAD): An Invitation to Share and Use Data About Early America(2016-01-01) Smith, Billy G; Okrent, Nicholas E; Schocket, Andrew M; Wipperman, Sarah LPublication Balancing Influence in a Shifting Scholarly Communication Landscape: Creating Library-Owned, Community-Aligned Infrastructure Through Individual, Local, and Community Action(2018-05-01) Wipperman, Sarah L; Martin, Shawn; Bowley, ChealsyeWith the acquisition and creation of scholarly communication platforms/infrastructure by major commercial entities, the balance of influence continues to shift. The ACRL/SPARC Forum at the 2018 ALA Midwinter Meeting brought together library stakeholders for a conversation about how the library community can reassert its influence to shape the open access publishing landscape. Panelists focused on 1) Individual action: “What can one person do?” 2) Local coordinated action: “How can one group or institution effect change?” and 3) Collective action: “How can libraries work together to provide sustainable alternatives?”Publication Decoding and Negotiating Publisher Contracts: Know What You're Signing Away When You Publish(2017-04-07) Wipperman, Sarah LYou wrote an article, and it was accepted to a journal. The publisher sends you a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) or some other type of publishing agreement to sign, but what does that agreement actually say? What rights are you giving away, and what rights do you retain? Can you post your article to your website? Can you use it in the classroom? Can you send it to colleagues? This workshop will: look at a variety of CTAs across different disciplines give you tools to understand general journal policies on when and how you can post articles show you ways that you can negotiate with publishers to retain more rights to your work discuss ways that you can share your work, such as using our full service deposit to Penn's institutional repository, ScholarlyCommons, and posting to researcher profile sites like Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and SelectedWorksPublication Beprexit: Rethinking Repository Services in a Changing Scholarly Communication Landscape(2017-12-12) Wipperman, Sarah L; Allen, Laurie; Whitebloom, KennyThe scholarly communication landscape has changed significantly over the past few years: open access continues to grow, more people expect to be able to read articles for free online, and researchers are creating and disseminating new types of digital scholarship. The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Libraries has seen these changes reflected in our institutional repository (IR), ScholarlyCommons: this past fiscal year saw more than 2 million documents downloaded worldwide and a 280% increase in contributions compared to 4 years ago. Within the last 2 years, management of our IR moved from Collections to a newly formed Digital Scholarship department, which also supports digital humanities, data curation, and GIS. Within this context, the unexpected acquisition of bepress by Elsevier in August opened questions of how to proceed with our suite of library repositories and platforms. In response to this acquisition, and to libraries' experiences with Elsevier in the past, Penn Libraries, a bepress Digital Commons customer, released a statement announcing that we are exploring new options for our IR platform in order to exit bepress ("Operation beprexit"). We see beprexit as an opportunity to rethink the range of repository services we offer our community, taking into consideration the functionality previously offered by bepress, the capacities in the new Samvera-based repository our IT department is developing, and the lessons learned from the rest of the digital scholarship activities, including Data Refuge. This opportunity will allow us to reshape our growing scholarly communications program as we expand to house new types of data and scholarly publications and increase our footprint of open access publications. In this briefing, we will discuss our plan to re-imagine what an IR should and could do and what beprexit means for the larger digital scholarship landscape. We will present the process through which we plan to: assess our community needs and capacities identify alternatives to bepress engage the larger community in this as a collaborative effortPublication Creative Commons: A License to Share(2016-10-19) Wipperman, Sarah LSarah Wipperman will be leading a discussion on Creative Commons (CC) licenses, how to assign them to your work, & how to find CC material –images, texts, & other original works—to use in your own teaching, writing, & scholarship.Publication Understanding and Securing Your Author Rights When You Publish - Special Session with Eric Halpern of Penn Press(2016-11-10) Wipperman, Sarah L; Halpern, EricWhen you publish, you will be required to sign some sort of publishing agreement, but what does that agreement actually say? What rights are you giving away, and what rights do you retain? Can you post your article to your website? Can you use it in the classroom? Can you send it to colleagues? This workshop will feature Eric Halpern, Director of Penn Press, who will discuss the main clauses of a book publishing contract, and Sarah Wipperman, Scholarly Communication & Digital Repository Librarian, who will discuss journal agreements, retaining your rights, and ways you can share your work.Publication Historical Society and County Record Publications from the United Kingdom: A Finding Guide(2013-08-20) Stuhr, Rebecca A; Wipperman, SarahThe attached excel sheet is intended to be used as a finding aid for county records series and the publications of various historical societies in the United Kingdom. This document was created to support the work of Professor Margo Todd, her students, and the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of History. The information provided in this document is based on series holdings in the University of Pennsylvania libraries, primarily Van Pelt‐Dietrich, as well as those held in storage at LIBRA. It is designed to give a quick reference to these holdings, where they are located, and which geographic region they cover. It is by no means exhaustive and is a work in progress, but it should give the reader a good idea of the holdings available to the UPenn community.Publication Creative Commons: A License to Share Knowledge(2015-10-20) Rawson, Katie; Wipperman, Sarah LA discussion of the types of creative commons (CC) licenses, how to assign them to your work, & how to find CC material –images, texts, & other original works—to use in your own teaching, writing, & scholarship.
