Digital Commons Community Webinars: Library-Led Publishing and OA Textbooks

I'd like to invite you to the first two webinars in our 2012-2013 Digital Commons Community Webinar series. These two presentations will explore an aspect of library-led publishing that many are beginning to explore: books.  Both the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and Grand Valley State University are successfully expanding their IR services by publishing full-length works through the repository.  

In the first webinar, Paul Royster (Coordinator of Scholarly Communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln) will share strategies for launching library publishing services for books and monographs, including tips on developing policies, working with authors, and providing print-on-demand.

In the second, Sarah Beaubien (Scholarly Communications Outreach Coordinator) and Charles Lowe (Assistant Professor of Writing) of Grand Valley State University will share their success in bringing students targeted, high-quality texts at minimal or no cost.

When I was in elementary school in the late 80′s, we’d inevitably be dragged to the library a couple of times a year to learn about the Dewey Decimal system, how to find books of different types, and other things that would rev your engine …

EasyBib Visual Website Evaluation Guides

Did you know that EasyBib has free, visual guides that help your students evaluate the credibility of websites? One of the biggest concerns in education today is teaching students how to wade through the oceans of information available online to find what is truly relevant and credible. We’ve put together visual guides to help you teach students these skills. Check out an example page from the guide below:   As you can see, EasyBib uses the best practices to determine what criteria is necessary for evaluation, such as author, publisher, currency, and much more. The guides give concrete, real-world examples of actual sites that are credible, possibly credible, and not credible so students can see the thought process required to evaluate a source. View the website evaluations guides. If you subscribe to our School Edition service, you have access to our website evaluation feature, which serves as a reminder and alert for students to think about the credibility of the website they are citing.   EasyBib has evaluated the top 50% of sources cited, and using robust criteria, explains why a source is credible, maybe credible, or not credbile. For other sources that are not evaluated, EasyBib provides calls to action along with the criteria so students can properly evaluate a source before citing it. Learn more about School Edition and website evaluation.   Best, Emily Gover, M.S.
