Publication Presentation

This June, I’m heading to Florida to give a couple of back-to-back workshops on writing for publication to a couple of groups of library folks. As I’m putting these together and thinking about what content to include, I thought I might ask for others’ opinions. What topics would be most useful to you as an attendee at this sort of workshop?

  1. Dorothea:

    If they’re academic library folks, could you please please talk about open access and self-archiving?

  2. Fiona Bradley:

    Along similar lines to Dorothea, the where to publish question – weighing up ‘prestige’, accessibility, and so on. Where do you get info about what it’s like to work with a particular journal or editor? etc. Academics I work with struggle with this too.

  3. Rachel:

    I do definitely plan on talking about open access and archiving — and was going to mention dLIST and E-LIS as well as institutional repositories. (These will be mixed groups, some academic, some not.) And thanks, Fiona, good points there as well.
