(Book) Sprinting towards open publishing: developing strategy and tools to support digital scholarship

Libraries have an emerging role in advocating for and influencing the development of strategy, policy and infrastructure around digital scholarship and open publishing within their institutions. This case study will explore how we have approached this at institutional level by developing a strategic business plan for University senior management, and also on a practical level by supporting doctoral researchers to carry out a multidisciplinary Book Sprint to publish an open access monograph in four days, providing opportunities to engage with alternative approaches to disseminating scholarly work.
