How Important is Social Media to Libraries? Social media is forming an increasingly central part of how we all communicate. Its online communities carry a strong and influential voice, and there is much to be gained from engaging directly with customers through these channels. It’s against this backdrop that Taylor & Francis decided to research and compile a white paper focused on how libraries are currently using social media, looking at how libraries are applying social media channels, to what extent it is embedded in library communications, and how it may affect library roles in the future. The research we undertook was on a truly global scale – over 600 librarians worldwide contributed their thoughts, suggestions and experiences through focus groups, telephone interviews, an online survey and a Twitter party. We heard some fascinating case studies through the focus groups, such as how librarians are managing to balance time and resource against providing an active social media channel (librarians in the India focus group described how they shared the workload in order to provide a timely response to queries), and some inspiring promotional ideas, such as the library “shelfie” used to promote Nottingham University Library’s collection! We also made some very interesting discoveries through the online survey, including: • 61% of libraries have been using social media for 3 years or more • 30% post to social media daily • Facebook is the most popular channel, with 58% of librarians using it regularly • 75% of libraries schedule posts ad hoc, with no social media policy or plan in place

The white paper can be accessed online for free, along with accompanying top level data, infographic visualisations of key findings, video presentations and more. See www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia for more details. We’ve been spreading the word about the white paper through webinars, emails, a press release, conference presentations, two launch events in Oxford and Singapore (see the guest article on the next page), and of course, via social media. We see the research as being just the start of the discussion. We plan to add to a web-based resource over coming months focusing further on specific themes to be raised by the white paper, such as measuring impact, using social media as a customer service tool, and how it is used regionally, e.g. in Asia and Africa. If you would like to help contribute to this further research, comment on the white paper, or share your experience of using social media in your library, get in touch with us at [email protected].

An Enriching Visit to Taylor & Francis on Halloween Article contributed by Mingshanwang, Executive Officer (Music), NAFA Library

As we make our way up the steps to the office of Taylor & Francis, one wonders what experience can be gleaned from a short visit to this anchor publication company. To our surprise, we were greeted by two ladies in black gowns offering tricks-or-treats in a Jack-o’-lantern basket, complete with sweets and centipedes (mock ones of course!). We were further treated to a surprise appearance of Doctor Plague! This Doctor Plague was in fact none other than the Managing Director of Taylor & Francis Asia Pacific, Mr. Barry Clarke. The witty ‘Doctor Plague’, accompanied by Marketing Director, Ms. Brenda Foo, introduced the brief history and background of Taylor & Francis from the inception of Philosophical Magazine, dating back to 1798, to its global presence today. One of the main focuses of this visit, organised by the LAS Programmes & Social Committee, was to attend the white paper presentation on ‘Use of social media by the library’ by Journals Sales Director, Mr. Don Low. Don shared recent research findings that social media is undergoing a profound transformation in its role in academic libraries in recent years. Mr. Low unveiled the overview of academic libraries’ current practices in the use of social media, its objectives, and effectiveness based on the research facilitated by Taylor & Francis.

Taylor & Francis, and celebrated with Halloween-themed goodies, such as eyeball puffs and coffin cookies. The last item on the day’s agenda was a short excursion to the Taylor & Francis warehouse, led by ‘Doctor Plague’, Mr. Clarke. A ‘fresh’ and familiar smell of enormous new books in the warehouse, a few blocks away from the office at Siemens Centre, fascinated the attendees. In the warehouse, Mr. Clarke conveyed the processes behind-the-scenes on how books were collected and delivered. All the fun had to come to a close at 4.30pm, leaving members with an enriched perspective on the promises of social media in their libraries and its potential to enhance readership.

At Purdue we’re a little unique because we see our repository as a publishing platform as well. We publish 22 open access journals, conference proceedings, books, pseudo books, and journal projects. We partner with our university press. With that in mind, we think this is a

I held a lively lunch with colleagues from Clemson and College of Charleston. The three of us are editing a book about making repositories work and about the practical implications of creating a repository, running a repository, and

This is my third consecutive year at this conference. I like to attend Charleston for a couple of different reasons. Ever since I’ve been coming, it seems that this is a conference that is developing beyond just acquisitions and those vendors and publishers that are involved in that aspect of the business. It seems that in the past five to ten years, it’s developed into content in the peripheral around those relationships. It’s been involving open access and those libraries and publishers that focus on open access.

I spoke at one of the pre-conference workshops about open access. It was a workshop with speakers who were both librarians and journal publishers. We had institutions with open access policies, like MIT and Rutgers, and then people like myself from institutions that have resolutions that are working towards policy. We had journal publishers on our panel talking about these joint issues about open access and open access policies – what institutions are doing to create policies, why they’re creating policies, and how that plays into working with publishers or compliance with policies.

gathering content. Most importantly, once you have done that, how do you deliver on the impact of the repository? How do you relay that impact to administrators, to potential content providers, and also looking at what the future is for the repository? The book will be released next year for the 2015 [Charleston] Conference.

Maybe it’s the weather, the innovative sessions, the plethora of Southern comfort foods or all of the above, but year after year we hear librarians, vendors, publishers and students alike gushing about the Charleston Conference. The meeting is more informal than other annual meetings, and personally, we at T&F love the collaborative atmosphere. We know why we love the Charleston Conference, so we took to the streets of Charleston to find out why other attendees love it too.

really great conference to attend. It’s one where you get rid of this dichotomy relationship of ‘us vs. them’. You can be in a session that’s co-led by publishers and librarians, discussing topics in very fruitful and meaningful ways that really are trying to find the best solution for both sides. What has been your favorite session and why? There was a conversation between the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) where they were talking about the future of monograph publishing and open access. They were talking about how we can keep monograph open access publishing sustainable. If you aren’t getting profit margins, how can you relay impact? But when you look at usage data and seeing this content that is either being provided at a freemium model where there is a free open access copy but then a premium model on top of that, or some other sustainable business model that’s in place, I think that there is still a business model that you can relay the value and return on investment of open access. The presses that are seeing this are beginning to see the fruitful nature of it.

I was able to come here as part of a class [at the time], which was in 2004. There were a lot of publishers and librarians, and I love the combination of the two sides of the picture. I came another year helping a professor who brings students here for special collections classes, and this year I came because I’m working on a paper on eBooks.

a What has been your favorite part of the show this year?

A conversation with Carol Price, a doctorate student at the University of South Carolina Why do you attend the Charleston Conference? This is my third time [attending the conference]. When I moved to South Carolina, I did my Master’s of Library Science online after working in the corporate world for a number of years. I got into a lot of things with eBooks and also corporate libraries.

All of the sessions on all of the different topics. I think it’s the only conference I’ve ever been to where you can’t get into a session. The best thing to do is the pre-conferences. There weren’t professional speakers but everybody had something to say. It was great. Was there a favorite session or event you attended this year? The session I really liked was the one on eBooks, and the reason I liked it was because [people from] University of North Carolina at Charlotte did most of the presentation and actually

they’re pretty close to us. They had a nice story—they had gotten money and they spent all of it buying all these subscriptions and things. It’s so nice hearing about a school having a budget for [materials]. They bought all sorts of fascinating materials. They got the money in June, and they spent it by August. It was a lively session. They had seven or eight people so you got a lot of different perspectives. This was at the half-day pre-conference. Everybody at that group would chime in. That was a success story and that’s good to hear from a library’s perspective. How has attending the meeting helped you in your professional goals? This is the first year I remember getting a list of attendees; that is a handy thing to have. Plus, all of the descriptions of the sessions are helpful, so you know which sessions would be best for you. You also get a subscription to Against the Grain, which I like a lot.

#TandFLovesPets! The T&F Library Marketing Team is always on the lookout for fun and interactive ways to enhance our presence at library conferences around the world, and the 34th Annual Charleston Conference in November was no exception. This year, we invited our @LibraryLantern Twitter followers, T&F staff from around the globe, and Charleston Conference attendees to join us in celebrating two of our biggest passions – the written word and animals! – by participating in the #TandFLovesPets celebration. In the weeks leading up to the conference, we tweeted photos of famous authors and their beloved furry friends, as well as links to free pet-related journal articles on Taylor & Francis Online. We also designed

a special Taylor & Francis pet collar (in our signature royal blue shade, of course), and invited animal lovers in our offices and at Charleston to photograph their pets wearing the collar. Throughout the day, a chorus of ‘Awww’s’ could be heard coming from the direction of the Taylor & Francis booth, and dozens of happy pet owners walked away with a special collar to take home. Even though the conference has ended, it’s not too late to catch up on the fun – search #TandFLovesPets on Twitter to browse through all the photos and free pet-themed articles that we shared. Needless to say, this was our most adorable Twitter campaign yet! Our feline and canine models show off their new collars!

‘South Asia: Developing and Furthering Research’ Workshop at the University of Lisbon On 22nd October, Taylor & Francis Group visited the University of Lisbon to run a workshop on the South Asia Archive. The South Asia Archive is a specialist, fully searchable digital platform launched by Routledge in 2013. It contains 4.5 million digitized pages of research material covering the Indian subcontinent, dating from 1700 through to 1953. The event, ‘South Asia: Developing and Furthering Research’, was run by Laura Horton, Global Library Communications Manager and Hailey Broadbent, Journals Area Sales Executive. The key note address, delivered by Professor Teresa Malafaia, Associate Professor of the English Studies Department and Researcher of the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, focused on the future of South Asia research in a digital age.

Roundtable discussions from the panel

Laura Horton then introduced attendees to the content and functionality that a digital product can offer researchers, using the South Asia Archive as a working example and sharing the results from the Routledge South Asia Advisory Board. The Advisory Board provides members with an opportunity to advise on how content from the South Asia Archive could be used to further develop research and to discuss benefits of digitization for teaching and the library. The workshop led to roundtable discussions and views from the librarian attendees at the University of Lisbon. If you’d like to host a similar workshop at your university, please contact Laura Horton at [email protected].

Jisc Collections and Taylor & Francis Agreement Extends Access to Journal Content Taylor & Francis Group and Jisc Collections – which supports the procurement of digital content for education and research in the UK – have reached agreement to provide UK libraries with extended access to content published in Taylor & Francis journals. Following extensive discussions between Taylor & Francis, Jisc Collections and RLUK, and in consultation with the wider UK library community, for the first time the deal includes an offsetting agreement for articles published on an open access basis in hybrid journals. For articles published under Taylor & Francis’ hybrid open access publishing model, Open Select, the offsetting agreement offers discounted Article Publishing Charges via a voucher system determined by expenditure. This decision recognises More information about the Taylor & Francis Library.

the continuing growth in open access research, and Taylor & Francis wishes to participate in pilots which explore the potential for transitioning business models. The other main features of the agreement are as follows: • Three-year agreement • Post-termination access to core-subscribed titles • A substitutions allowance • Improved subscriptions reinstatement conditions for new entrants • Access fees now entirely Jisc-banded • A reduced annual price increase if an institution places its order by 15th December More information from Jisc.

Discover the History of NetBASE CRC Press has a long history of responding to its customers’ needs; providing resources to the scientific, medical, and technology (STM) community for more than 100 years. In 1998, CRC Press recognized the need to provide libraries with research materials in a more flexible, digital format.

The use of ENGnetBASE increased and demand for additional eBook collections came pouring in. ENVIROnetBASE, a collection of environmental handbooks and resources in the same vein as ENGnetBASE, became the second online product from CRC Press. CRC Press identified the need to expand the subject collections.

The first CRCnetBASE, ENGnetBASE, began as a CD-ROM product and although the technological format was not ideal, it quickly evolved. In 1999, CRC Press created the first web-based eBook collection making authoritative references readily available to libraries and their patrons. This iteration of ENGnetBASE was a virtual collection of engineering books provided in PDF format with no digital right management (DRM) applied. CRC Press became the first STM publisher to launch an eCollection for libraries. The downloadable PDF format allowed for citations that reflect the printed version and allowed the books to be used by more than one researcher at a time.

In 2010, the CRCnetBASES moved to the Atypon platform, relaunching the separate collections as one large collection controlled by subscription rights. The Atypon platform allowed for faster downloads and chapter purchase options. The shift to a single platform was very successful. CRCnetBASE won awards for the platform as well as the collections. • 2010: CHOICE Award for Outstanding Academic Resource • 2010: The Association of Learned and Professional Society of Publishers (ALPSP) Award for Best eBook Publisher/ Platform • 2011: Library Journal Award for Best Reference Platform

CRCnetBASEs were the first to supply printed content in a digital format from a wide range of authoritative experts. The caliber of the information and the flexible subscription options set CRCnetBASEs apart from others. No one else in STM publishing provides access to such a broad range of information to specialized libraries. CRCnetBASE provides one of the largest subject collection platforms designed for research in all areas of science, medicine, and technology, and reacts to the market needs, making subscription options available that provide not only flexibility of content but for access and budget. What originally seemed so simple – a digital collection of books that mirrored the physical collection – has grown into a groundbreaking resource for researchers and students. CRCnetBASE currently has over 12,000 titles covering more than 350 subject areas in more than 40 eBook collection netBASES. New titles are being added each month!

Taylor & Francis Celebrates the 2014 International Open Access Week at the University of Central Florida Members of the academic and publishing communities gathered together in Howards Phillips Hall at the University of Central Florida’s (UCF) campus in Orlando, Florida, on Monday 20th October to kick off the University’s 2014 Open Access Week activities with a variety of presentations and discussions on all things open access.

Other presentations included a session on OA and losing data in the information age by Dr. Barry Mauer, Associate Professor of English at UCF; and Dr. Nancy Stanlick, an Associate Professor in the UCF Philosophy Department, talked about her experiences editing the open access journal, the Florida Philosophical Review.

The day-long event included presentations from a number of UCF faculty, with sessions on topics like the use of OA tools in the emerging field of digital public history to the importance of open data in disseminating scholarship in Africa, to name a few.

Representatives from several publishers were also invited to the event to discuss their experiences with OA, including T&F’s own Stacy Sieck, Library Communications Manager for the Americas region, and Elyse Profera, Regional Sales Manager for the Central U.S.

Dr. Peter Suber, Director for the Office of Scholarly Communication at Harvard, was the key-note speaker for the day. Although he could not attend the meeting in person, he joined via Skype and led a lively open access question and answer session. Among other issues, he talked about the importance of the quality of research being published and consumed, noting that crucial research is still being published in subscription-based journals and universities can’t afford to ignore this research. But with that in mind, the open access model isn’t going anywhere either, he added.

Stacy and Elyse gave a detailed overview of Taylor & Francis’ open access policies (including our Gold and Green OA programs and the Library & Information Science Author Rights Pilot), along with an update on open access mandates and regulations in the U.S. IEEE, Springer, and Gale were in attendance to talk about their OA programs as well, and the publisher OA information sessions were followed by a Q&A panel discussion, which was moderated by the Head of Research and Information Services at UCF, Barbara Tierney. The Q&A session

allowed the audience time to ask the publishers questions about their respective OA products and policies, as well as their views on the changing OA landscape. Those in attendance didn’t hesitate to ask panelists the hard-hitting questions about open access funding models or how publishers plan to evolve and support libraries and researchers alike through their OA products, but the atmosphere of the event was certainly one of collaboration. The day ended with several more sessions from faculty, including a discussion on the migration of the journal The Tapestry to an open access publishing model by Dr. Joyce Nutta and Dr. Florin Mihai, Professors in the School of Teaching, Learning and Leadership at UCF. And finally, Dr. Kimberly Voss finished the day with an upbeat presentation on building buzz and citations to academic research through blogging and Twitter.

So, what are Psychology Revivals? They are reissues of previously out-of-print Psychology or Mental Health titles from our backlist – books previously published by Routledge, or by one of the many imprints that Routledge has acquired over the years. The reissued titles date back to the early 1900s, and up to the 1990s. The Routledge Revivals programme in the Humanities and Social Sciences has been running for five years. The Psychology Revivals programme is a relatively new spinoff – the first Psychology Revivals were published in 2013. It’s worth mentioning that the Revivals and Library Editions are almost all available as eBooks. How do you decide which books to bring back to life? We search our backlist for books on interesting topics and by interesting

people. The Psychology Revivals programme includes early books by authors who have gone on to great things. For instance we have an early book from 1985, Living with the Bomb: Can We Live Without Enemies?, by the world-renowned psychologist and writer Dorothy Rowe. Plus the programme reissues works by eminent writers from the past whose work is still studied today, such as Jean Piaget. And how do the Library Edition sets come to be? Sometimes our backlist lends itself to the production of a set. Sometimes we have a number of books by one author – for example, we have an upcoming 6-volume Collected Works by Charles Baudouin, a French psychoanalyst and contemporary of Freud, Jung, and Adler, whose work warrants fresh attention. Sometimes we produce a set when we have a number of interesting backlist titles

by different authors on a theme, such as Jung; Memory; or Emotion. The sets vary in terms of the number of volumes included. Some have five or six volumes; on the other hand we have a 30-volume set in Social Psychology coming in 2015! Some of the Library Editions were published as sets originally, such as the 6-volume Handbook of Learning and Cognitive Processes, edited by W.K. Estes. At least one of our Library Editions was envisaged as a set though originally published as individual volumes: in June 2014 we published The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience. The four books were published separately during the 1970s and 80s, but William Uttal had always conceived of them as a set. Upon publication of the Library Edition, he wrote to me to say that he had never until then experienced the whole that the books represent – only the parts. The set was what he had hoped to see from the beginning of the two decade-long project, and he told me he felt a sense of completion. Why should a library invest in these reissues? We are used to seeing a subject area now, at this point in time: with the Revivals, the reader can re-trace the

paths that led here, including the bumps in the road and the detours that often prove an interesting part of the journey. To give you an example, some of the Revivals I’ve worked on recently that I’ve found particularly fascinating are three books by Bernard Hollander from the early twentieth century, on abnormal children, nervous disorders of women, and nervous disorders of men. There’s much in them to astonish the modern reader, and they are fascinating just in terms of social history. But it’s also really interesting to see how the subject area that Hollander refers to as ‘medical psychology’ has developed over the last century into a myriad of different areas and approaches. This process in psychology and mental health is

still continuing, with new areas of specialization springing up, and established ones being questioned. Can you tell us about the specific challenges of your job? Once I have identified a book I would like to reissue, I then need to trace the author or author’s relatives, as even if the original contract is in our archive, it almost certainly won’t cover eBooks. So there is a fair bit of detective work involved in my job in terms of tracking people down! There have been times I’ve nearly given up hope, only to get a response out of the blue to an enquiry I made months before. When I do make contact with the author or their relatives, they are usually really pleased about having the book reissued and brought to a whole new audience.

11

And what brought you to this role? I worked at Psychology Press as a Production Editorial Manager on new psychology and mental health books since 1999. In 2012, the opportunity came up to take on the Revivals and Library Editions job. I had experience within the subject area, with the processes, and with some of the authors. For me, it has been an opportunity to develop new skills, and I’m also enjoying being part of a bigger team – the Routledge Revivals and Library Editions team.

Informa Healthcare Journals to move to Taylor & Francis Group Informa Healthcare’s portfolio of 180 journals will be managed by Taylor & Francis Group, as of January 2015. The move follows the transition of Informa Healthcare’s books publishing business to CRC Press, a constituent part of Taylor & Francis Group, in 2012. In order to ensure consistency for customers, key staff from Informa Healthcare will join Taylor & Francis’ existing structure. The journals will transition to the Taylor & Francis Online platform during 2015. Pricing and policies will remain as is for 2015. Taylor & Francis’ extensive journals publishing arm provides the optimal home for the titles included in the move to continue to grow and flourish.
