Notes
Update on the TUScholarShare soft launch and first round of beta testers
6 beta testers currently
Throughout the month, have been attempting submissions and already running into issues/questions
ex. submitting websites: Alicia might talk with Stefanie about that
Reach out to faculty members next month – trying to keep the numbers small (approx. 8)
Going to experiment with both mediated (ex. CV review) and non-mediated workflows
Ex. papers from SSRN for batch uploading
Need to set clear expectations about where responsibilities lie for mediated workflows
No news about the procurement process for the vendor contract
TUScholarShare Communications Toolkit brainstorming doc
Role of SCSST to ongoing TUScholarShare work --- developing this Communications Toolkit
Could take the form of LibGuide/webpage or an internal document
Need to foster broader advocacy for OA initiatives while also address need for discipline-specific guidance
Ex. English department strategy different than we would use in Physics
See Google Doc for brainstorming ideas
Next Steps
Need to determine what the scope of that toolkit is and what this team will start to work on
May reach out to Penn Libraries to chat about their approach
