Publishing Literacy Series

An increase in campus requests to collect and publish undergraduate scholarship and research drives a need to address a gap in scholarly communication and information literacy instruction. This initiative brings together content experts in scholarly communication and instructional design to develop a modular and scalable series of publishing literacy educational materials. This initiative will focus on undergraduate writing programs as a pilot. At the end of this initiative, the content and delivery methods for this set of scholars will be assessed with an eye toward broadening the audience.

As this initiative progresses, In FY23 the project team will develop a template that can be expanded to areas including digital collections, data services, GIS, the Library’s Undergraduate Research Prize, Author Carpentry, undergraduate journal and paper series editors, creators of Open Educational Resources (OER) and open pedagogy.
