@article { title = {The Open Textbook Toolkit: Seeding successful partnerships for collaboration between academic libraries and university presses}, author = {Waller, Mira and Cross, William M.}, abstract = {Libraries and university presses coexist in a complex and increasingly consolidated scholarly communication ecosystem. Each brings different strengths, values, and viewpoints that can inform and enrich a joint project. In this paper we discuss potential barriers to and benefits of collaboration between academic libraries and university presses and introduce a case study of such a collaboration: the Open Textbook Toolkit. This project, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is currently investigating the components needed to support faculty in one discipline, psychology, who are considering adopting open educational resources. By leveraging both library and press expertise, the Toolkit represents one model for fruitful collaboration.}, year = {2017}, month = {10/2017}, journal = {Journal of Scholarly Publishing}, volume = {49}, issue = {1}, pages = {53-65}, country = {United States}, doi = {10.3138/jsp.49.1.53}, issn = {1710-1166}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {academic infrastructure, library–press collaboration, open access, open educational resource}, attachments = {The Open Textbook Toolkit_ Seeding Successful Partnerships for Co.pdf}, }
