Upcycling a Schol Comm Unit: Building Bridges with Creativity, Reallocations, and Limited Resources
The Scholarly Communication Unit of the David L. Rice Library at the University of Southern Indiana started not with a bang, but with a lateral transition. Over the next two years, the unit has focused on creatively developing the themes of scholarly communication competencies within and outside the library despite limited resources, and this session will serve to highlight ways in which other libraries that are facing similar limitations can still provide quality services to their institutions. The knowledge and skills necessary to build the scholarly communication programs have been culled from across the library with strategic reconsideration of job lines and descriptions. Utilizing affordable professional development activities has deepened our ability to support scholarly communication activities on campus. The realignment of positions with existing personnel, has also enabled us to leverage existing relationships to produce outreach activities that include our faculty advocates. Similarly, the institutional knowledge within the library and our relationships across campus have allowed us to pursue a particularly creative approach to open access funding that does not require a new line of money from the university. Our approach to scholarly communication services has fundamentally been as a public service that requires innovative problem-solving in order to identify and enhance competencies within the library so that we can successfully take programs outside the library and strategically reallocate resources to build a Scholarly Communication Unit that serves our entire campus. Peter Whiting Scholarly Communication Librarian, University of Southern Indiana Andrea Wright Assistant Director and Head of Public Services, University of Southern Indiana
