Finishing up the notes from yesterday’s meeting:
|
||
|
||
Session 3: New Structures
|
||
|
||
Maria Bonn, Director, Scholarly Publishing Office, University of Michigan; Phil Pochoda, Director, University of Michigan Press
|
||
|
||
SPO: publishing unit located within library; used to say “electronic publishing,” but “print wants to be electronic, and electronic wants to be print”
|
||
|
||
Michigan Digital Publishing Initiative — library and press at core, but including campus IT and media infrastructure
|
||
|
||
“digital culture books” — an attempt to put complementary print and online books out there — communication and new media studies, and politics — http://www.digitalculture.org/
|
||
|
||
collaboration aimed as “institutional backfire” at preventing apocalyptic reorganization proposed by now-departed administrator
|
||
|
||
\_The Digital Library Biography\_
|
||
|
||
press currently only receives 10% of expenses from university budget; must obtain other 90% from revenues
|
||
|
||
problems of production for digital texts
|
||
|
||
really interesting questions about the processes of editing cross-platform (print/digital) texts…
|
||
|
||
what is it we want digital texts to be? digital versions of print texts, with some clicking? or evolving, changing, developing texts? or both? preferably, both — some evolution and ongoing discussion, with some stability, too
|
||
|
||
how to shape discussion, though; neither press nor library has much experience with managing online communities — not many folks do
|
||
|
||
most texts will be published in CMS (thus dynamic) at first, and later transitioned to more stable archival format
