“…The serials crisis and big deal journal subscription packages have been a "nightmare" for small society publishers, creating a "big squeeze" where reduced subscriptions lead to lower visibility and usage which spirals into decreased impact, leading to further loss of subscriptions (Posser, 2004, p. 19). Journals with lower impact rankings or no Journal Impact Factor© (JIF) "may face a competitive disadvantage in attracting prestigious authors/contributors" (Eddy & Solomon, 2017). Librarians can provide "critical leadership and guidance" to scholar editors based on their professional skills and knowledge to advance the mission of society publications (Eddy & Solomon, 2017).…”

INTRODUCTION The journal publishing service at the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries is structured to use a team-based approach that integrates subject specialists across the library. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Since 2012, the UF Libraries have worked in partnership with a number of scholarly societies to publish their research. The focus, to date, of academic library publishing on institutional publications belies potential partnerships with scholarly societies and organizations external to the library’s institution. Services provided, challenges faced, and examples of successful publishing partnerships with UF Libraries are described. The team approach enables the library to be innovative and nimble in response to publishing opportunities. Scholarly societies most interested in entering publishing contracts with the Libraries publishing program are those that share aspects of the library mission such as accessibility and innovation. NEXT STEPS Academic library publishing offers unique partnership opportunities for scholarly societies and external organizations that are mutually beneficial and that complement library publishing of institutional material.

“…A significant body of library literature discusses scholarly communication outreach and programing for university patrons, and many studies find that collaboration across the institution is key (Cantrell & Johnson, 2018;Eddy & Solomon, 2017;Fong, 2019;Schulte et al, 2018;Senseney et al, 2019). Even solo librarians at small academic institutions can benefit from partnerships to scaffold this type of instruction (Rios, 2019).…”

“…The formation of relationships between liaison librarians and technical services personnel can be vital to creating successful research workshops. Research liaison librarians are usually on the front lines of working with graduate students and faculty; this expertise, combined with that of functional specialists on open access, institutional repositories, research identity, research data management, and other research topics, can help build a worthwhile hybrid consultancy approach for scholarly communications education (Eddy & Solomon, 2017;Southall & Scutt, 2017). Library literature shows that cross-departmental collaboration is crucial to the formation of successful scholarly communication outreach and programing; this approach helps create a sustainable model for education to patrons (Harrison, 2018;Southall & Scutt, 2017).…”

“…Library and information centre managers are increasingly faced with a wide range of user demands for faster and more effective service. This issue, with the inability to collect all or even some of the information, and the Increasing the costs of magazine subscriptions, has caused them to pay attention to the provision of information sources rather than the provision of case and locative (Eddy and Solomon 2017). Given the importance of service quality in libraries and increasing user demand for better services, the service quality improvement is one of the major issues in libraries.…”

Libraries and information centres are service organizations connecting academic communities to knowledge and information through efficient services as their main mission. Given the importance of high-quality services in libraries and increased users' demand for receiving better service, the promotion of service quality levels is as one of the crucial challenges of libraries. This study is an attempt to provide a model for diagnosis of library service quality using Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) approach in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The proposed model is applied in libraries of Yazd University of Science and Art in Iran. Accordingly, 25 failure items of library service quality in library services are first determined for diagnosis through reviewing the literature and interviewing the academic experts, as well as library managers at Yazd University of Science and Art. Following the determination of these items, a questionnaire was administered to the experts. The results indicate that "the lack of appropriate social spaces for group learning and study" is an item of highest priority in quality improvement of library service. The results of this research can be used to guide managers and decision makers in order to plan for improving the quality of library services.
