- Distinct forms of scholarly communication through distinct digital
publishing platforms:

faculty control over publishing & dissemination

publishing capabilities and experiment with new roles

- Full spectrum publishing platform: pre-prints and reports, peer-reviewed
articles, edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals
- Existing university structure: research units and departments as
gatekeepers; editorial and administrative functions distributed
- High usage and adoption rate: 200+ UC academic units and departments; >11,000
papers; >61,000 full-text downloads per week; >2.9 million
downloads to date (as of April 6, 2006)

available to all UC faculty, staff and students, with select titles
available to public

work flow; opportunity for content delivery in multiple formats from a
single, master XML file

serving up information that better fit the research and pedagogical
needs of faculty and students

- Well, my book is written--let it go. But if it were
- only to write over again there wouldn't be so
- many things left out. They burn in me; and they
