[Anja Oberländer <Anja.Oberlaender@uni-konstanz.de>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

ich möchte Sie nochmal auf untenstehende Ausschreibung aufmerksam machen. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, hier auch Einreichungen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz zu bekommen:

Dear All,

Only two months to go (with the Christmas break in-between!) until the submission deadline for the ‘Publications’  special issue on ‘Open Access and the Library’:

http://www.mdpi.com/journal/publications/special_issues/open_access_university_library

Open access, once a grassroots movement, has made its way to the heart of universities and especially university and research libraries. A special issue of the open access journal ‘Publications’ is dedicated to exploring the changing role of research libraries in the context of open access. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

·        The changing role of university/research libraries

·        Best practice examples of successful OA implementations

·        Management of OA publication funds

·        OA workflows and systems

·        Communications and engagement with authors

·        Change management related to OA

·        New staff roles, skills and training

 

‘Publications’ is an open access journal on scholarly publishing published by MDPI. Guest editors for the special issue are Anja Oberländer (Head of Open Access at the University of Konstanz, Germany) and myself.

 

The submission deadline is *30 January 2018*; there is no APC.

If you have any questions on the special issue please do get in touch.

 

Best wishes,

Torsten
