Identify opportunities to support new modes of research by investigating the needs of digital humanities scholars; explore to what extent altmetrics and commenting/annotation provide utility to researchers in different disciplines by experimenting with the provision of related tools and technologies; improve the quality of eScholarship journals by providing baseline standards and guidance regarding best practices for OA publications; empower eScholarship contributors to better understand and manage their copyright and publishing choices; improve the ability of eScholarship research units to more robustly interact with eScholarship by completing an administrative interface project (begun in 2012–13) that provides them with expanded capabilities to control their publication environment within eScholarship; continue to build relationships with and contribute to the broader digital library publishing community via our major development partnership with the Public Knowledge Project; develop and formalize user community engagement processes for Access and Publishing services in order to leverage super-user knowledge/ practices, better align development priorities with user needs, raise awareness of new features/development agenda, work more directly with campus contacts and increase outreach opportunities to new users.
