eScholarship

I will be off on maternity leave as of tomorrow, September 25, 2008. I do not yet have a replacement as Coordinator of eScholarship@McGill, and so I thought I should leave you with some information just in case you get any questions (or perhaps this is more of a warning you that you may be getting questions because of me!) This will be of interest to Liaison Librarians in particular:
- The eScholarship email account is instructing people to get in touch with their Liaison Librarian if they need more information about the repository and the deposit process. If you need a refresher or more information about the repository, I have created a Toolkit for Liaison Librarians which can be accessed from http://wikisites.mcgill.ca/lts (you will have to log in and return to the Main Page to access it). Obviously, you will not be able to deposit articles yourselves, but if you could just let anyone interested know that we are waiting for my replacement and also provide an explanation of how the process works in general, that would be very helpful.
- If people need help converting their theses to PDF/A, we are now instructing them to contact the ICS Service Desk. If they are having trouble converting their LaTeX theses to PDF/A, Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will accept PDFs (rather than PDF/As) because of complications with the LaTeX format.

Wishing you all the best,

Gen
Genevieve Gore Coordinator, eScholarship@McGill
