Libraries must negotiate a range of legal issues, policies and
ethical guidelines when developing scholarly communication
initiatives. Library Scholarly Communication Programs is a
practical primer, covering these issues for institutional
repository managers, library administrators, and other staff
involved in library-based repository and publishing services. The
title is composed of four parts. Part one describes the evolution
of scholarly communication programs within academic libraries, part
two explores institutional repositories and part three covers
library publishing services. Part four concludes with strategies
for creating an internal infrastructure, comprised of policy, best
practices and education initiatives, which will support the legal
and ethical practices discussed in the book.

Presenting strategies for improving academic library services for
first-generation students, this timely book focuses on programs and
services that will increase student academic engagement and
success. Demographic data and secondary school graduation rates
suggest that colleges and universities will enroll growing numbers
of first-generation students over the next decade. Academic Library
Services for First-Generation Students focuses on ways academic
libraries can uniquely contribute to the successful transition to
college and year-to-year retention of first-generation students.
The practical recommendations in this book include a wide range of
ideas for the design and modification of library services and
facilities to be more inclusive of the needs of first-generation
students. All of the recommendations are specifically aimed at
addressing challenges faced by first-generation students. Topics
covered range from study spaces and service points to information
literacy instruction and campus partnerships. The book makes the
case-both explicitly and implicitly-that academic libraries can
help address known risk factors (e.g., by helping students build
academic cultural competencies) and thereby improve success,
persistence, and retention for first-generation students. Academic
library professionals in both leadership roles and public service
positions will benefit from the actionable strategies presented
here. Includes practical strategies for modifying existing library
services to be more inclusive of first-generation student needs
Incorporates suggestions for new services targeted toward
first-generation students Offers insight into first-generation
students' perspectives on academic libraries Builds understanding
of the role libraries can play in first-generation student success
and retention
