English abstract

This paper explores dissemination, broadly considered, of an open access (OA) database as part of a librarian-faculty collaboration currently in progress. Metadata optimization for cataloging, repository submission, and search engines is examined, as are user notification methods. Libraries should consider their role in scholarly publishing, develop workflows to enable it, and extend their efforts to the web.

Item type: Journal article (Unpaginated)

Subjects: I. Information treatment for information services > IA. Cataloging, bibliographic control.
