Workshop: Innovation in the Library, UMBC: From Digital Depository to e-Publishers Aa Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) Workshop George Washington University, Washington, DC, June 13, 2012, 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Facilitated by UMBC Faculty and Librarians E-publishing is not merely the replication of print formats, but something entirely new for us to invent. We will explore the intersections of repositories, publishing, and the digital humanities, then brainstorm innovative models for publishing, peer-reviewing, distributing, and archiving inextricably digital works that cannot be published in print form. Discussion will range from the theoretical to the elements and design of platforms and tools from a cross- disciplinary approach. The workshop will be led by the core group of UMBC faculty and librarians who developed the initial concepts of the UMBC Digital Publishing Initiative. Participants from an array of fields are invited (publishers, IT professionals, kibrarians, scholar authors, policy makers). To register for this workshop, go to http://jcdl2012.info/registration. Workshop participants are encouraged to consider also attending an additional workshop related to digital publishing, "Using CLIR/NITLE Anvil for e-Publication from University Libraries, University Presses, and Scholarly Societies".

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
