Faculty Senate: Digitize materials
Chelsea Erven | November 24The Office for eScholarship presented a proposal that will help transition UNM Libraries from print to digital materials at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting. The proposed “eScholar Innovation Center” (eSIC) would offer applications and resources that will allow for electronic publishing, online research collaboration, shared data sets and an open-access scholarship, the proposal said. “We want this to be a point of leverage for the support of the libraries, museum, UNM press and scholarly communication at the university,” UNM Libraries spokesperson Holly Shipp Buchanan said. The Office of eScholarship is tasked with preserving rights to and facilitating the production of published works that come out of UNM.
