AbstractPurpose -The purpose of the study is to evaluate the objectives, priorities and criteria of digitization. It also analyses the open access initiatives adopted by the special libraries in National Capital Region of India. The paper further examines the motivating factors of using digital resources. Design/methodology/approach -The research paper is based on primary survey of librarians and users of special libraries. Weighted index has been used to analyse the factors of digitization while factor analysis is used to study the open access initiatives adopted by the libraries. Findings -Based on the primary goal of libraries, i.e. to increase their global visibility and the ultimate purpose of such digital projects is to provide greater access to their collections to promote research activities. The paper summarizes that increased accessibility is the most preferred objective; content value is most preferred criterion for digitization. The paper further identifies factors that motivated users to use digital resources. Practical implications -The availability of digital literature not only helps the local users but provides access to their resources and thus increases the visibility of these libraries globally. The revelation of special libraries to undertake such ventures is not only helpful to establish better information availability and visibility but also to maximize its value and worthiness. Originality/value -Most existing studies remain on the level of collecting data and interpreting specific cases on digital conversion but this paper not only interprets the reasons of digitization but also investigates reasons of user needs by factorizing them. This paper examines the objectives, criteria and prioritization of material for digitization. It further identifies the factors motivating users to access these digital resources.

“…Dalmau and Schlosser recognized that Indiana University's IUScholarWorks Journals service began using OJS in a pilot project in 2008 after signicant development of an alternate platform occurred.. They outlined the history of the "Indiana Magazine of History," the journal's collaborative relationship with the IU Libraries, and the resulting accessible online index and the rst iteration of its online open access platform (Dalmau and Schlosser 2010). Their work focused on developing a TEI model for the Indiana Magazine of History that featured issue-level encoding using the P4 version of the guidelines and independent header les for encoding article-level metadata.…”

Migrate, Publish, Repeat: TEI Journals in the Open Journal Systems Platform

The Indiana University (IU) Libraries have a long history of using the TEI markup standard to encode and publish electronic texts, but choosing the best publishing platform has been challenging for certain projects. Before formally launching an open access journal publishing program in 2008, the Libraries collaborated with two scholarly journals to provide open access publishing using P3 SGML and P4 XML TEI encoding delivered through the DSpace and XTF platforms. Both journals used complex encoding, transformation, and delivery workows that required copious amounts of custom software development to function properly. As these systems aged, the time and eort required to maintain them steadily increased. In 2013, the Libraries began planning to migrate these journals into the Open Journal Systems (OJS) 1 platform while preserving the TEI markup.
