Open Access – THATCamp Publishing 2013 http://publishing2013.thatcamp.org The Humanities and Technology Camp Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:40:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Supporting Multimodal Projects http://publishing2013.thatcamp.org/supporting-multimodal-projects/ Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:52:44 +0000 http://publishing2013.thatcamp.org/?p=578 Continue reading →]]>

How can libraries/academic publishers support scholars doing multi-modal projects (things that can't be published on paper)?

  • peer review
  • editing support
  • open access
  • tenure

Examples of projects, ideas for standards, discussion of what scholars (particularly DH scholars) need from publishers

Also video publishing:
    

  • Have you done it?
  • Expertise: the folks with knowledge in a field are unlikely to aslo be able to make a film about it
  • Workflows: how do you keep it from being too infleible?
  • Presentation:
    • chapters?
    • closed captions?
    • viewer annotations?

Acronyms: should we use different criteria

What are they?

Are they inevitable?

Who wants them?

mutlimodal, Open Access, etc.

I'm willing to offer a free hands-on workshop on how to use PressBooks, an open-source tool that transforms WordPress content into publications for print and digital devices, including PDF, web-book, Mobi (for Kindle), and ePUB (for iBooks, Nook, etc.) 

Anyone interested in this session may register ahead of time for a free PressBooks.com account at http://pressbooks.com/wp-signup.php
and ideally, bring a laptop or tablet, or share with another person who has one.

In addition to walking participants through the steps of creating & exporting their own books with PressBooks, I can also share more about:
– how to pair CommentPress and PressBooks for a WordPress-based developmental editing & publishing workflow
– requirements for installing both tools on your own self-hosted WordPress.org site
– how Anvil Academic will offer these tools to authors for open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly publishing
– how to suggest improvements to the developers of CommentPress and PressBooks
Learn more at http://CommentPressBooks.trinfocafe.org

So what's the deal? In exchange for this free workshop, I'd ask participants to visit and comment on our digital book-in-progress, Web Writing: Why & How for Liberal Arts Teaching & Learning. This open-access edited volume explores why & how faculty and students use web-based authoring, annotating, and publishing tools in the liberal arts, and demonstrates a case example of CommentPress and PressBooks. Call for Participation for the Idea & Essay Proposal phase (200-300 words) ends on June 22nd, 2013, but full drafts (1,000-4,000 words) are not due until August 15th. The Center for Teaching & Learning at Trinity College will award $300 subventions to 5 outstanding proposals, with preference given to authors in greater financial need (e.g. students or faculty not in full-time, tenure-track positions). Learn about our editorial process and timeline for the Fall 2013 open peer review and freely-accessible digital publication, possibly with a scholarly press, at:
