appearance for publications supported by DPubS. Additionally, it has the following features: âscalable, single platform for electronic publishing,â allowing for the publication of several formats from one place; ârich presentation features,â due to the inclusion of XML; âmultiple business models,â allowing both publications that are open access and those that are fee-based to utilize the software; âgreater exposure and visibility of publications,â due to the use of OAI-MHP 2.0 (Open Access
Initiative Metadata Harvesting Protocol) to allow metadata to be harvested from the content supported by DPubS and shared with users through services such as Google Scholar; âadministrative management tools for non-technical staffâ; âinteroperability with institutional repositoriesâ such as Fedora and DSpace (the latter forthcoming as of April 2007); âflexible and extensible handling of file and metadata formats,â allowing the easy use of PDFs, HTML, Microsoft Word files, PowerPoint presentations, etc.; and a âmodular architecture allowing easy extension and customization. As intended, the software used to develop Project Euclid has been expanded in order to encompass non-journal publications such as books and conference proceedings. The DpubS software can also be adapted in order to be used with other formats. This aspect of DpubS results from its open-source nature, meaning that the softwareâs coding has been made available, enabling programmers to develop additions and modifications of the software for their own and others purposes. While the administrative tools have been included, the editorial management services will wait for âfuture releases.â

including improving its ability to be used for monographs and other ânon-serial literatureâ; âprovide on-line editorial management services to support âpeer reviewâ activitiesâ; further developing âthe administrative functionality and interfaceâ; and âprovide interoperability with institutional repository systems." Furthermore, the DpubS website states the following as the development goals of
Cornell University Library and Penn State University Libraries: âgeneralizing the platform beyond a single discipline and document format (serials); adding administrative interfaces for non-technical staff; allowing a level of interoperability between DPubS and institutional repository systems, specifically Fedora and DSpace and developing editorial services to support the peer review process.â

Germany, University of Kansas, University of Utah, University of
WisconsinâMadison, and Vanderbilt University. Along with Pennsylvania History mentioned above, other journals being supported by DPubS include: Medieval Philosophy and Theology, âa semi-annual, peer-reviewed journal . . . of medieval philosophy, including logic and natural science, and in medieval theology, including Christian, Jewish, and Islamicâ; Indonesia, âa semi-annual journal published by the Cornell Southeast Asia Program . . . of Indonesiaâs culture, history, government, economy, and society from 1966 to the presentâ; and Cornell Technical Reports and Papers, âa collection of publications from the Cornell Theory Center, the Cornell Computer Science Department, and other departments and units."

profitability, an increasing amount of scholarship does not get printed. Over time, the reputations of scholars have become strongly linked with the appearance of their work in these journals to the exception of publications outside of the commercial realm. Some groups of scholars initially reacted to
Project Euclid in a âskittishâ manner due to concerns over the unfamiliar nature of its model. The creators of DPubS believe that libraries are uniquely positioned to play an important role in shifting the status quo, and that efforts such as Project Muse, Project Euclid, arXiv, DPubS and other endeavors represent the kind of efforts that can be made by libraries and university presses to combat the challenges rising journal prices have presented to their budgets.
164:, an electronic gathering of mathematics and statistics journals. As of 2005 it was delivering â40 journals to libraries and individuals under subscription, hosting, or open access delivery plans." Project Euclid was developed out of the code used to create NCSTRL, âa distributed network of Computer Science technical reportsâ in Cornell's Computer Science department. It offers an opportunity for âlow-cost independent and society journalsâ to take advantage of the benefits of inclusion in an online database âwithout sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence or commitment to low subscription prices." Several pricing options are available: Euclid Prime (EP), Euclid Select (ES), Euclid Direct (ED), and Open Access (OA).
175:, launched in 2003. As did their experience developing the digital imaging project, Project Euclid afforded Cornell University Library the opportunity to learn a great deal. Specifically, the library discovered much about functioning as a digital press that it was previously unfamiliar with, such as âmarketing or handling subscription requests . . . editorial management procedures and the ability to negotiate contracts with journal owners." While Euclid has been successful thus far â reported as âhealthy and growingâ in early 2006 â Cornell's heavy investment in the project and the ever-changing nature of the academic journal field where âsustainability is a moving targetâ has led to the exploration of other publishing avenues.
194:, an online directory of open access repositories, has shown an increase from 350 to 850 repositories included in its database since mid-2006. Use of arXiv has been described as âintense,â averaging about 4,000 submissions per month in 2005. Though many repositories â including all of those listed in OpenDOAR â are open access, they âhave not substituted for traditional publications, and thus have not had a substantial impact on the journals pricing situation." However, the success of open access repositories such as arXiv could indicate a growing willingness on the part of scholars to make use of non-traditional methods of publishing for their work.

160:. Initially, Project Muse was intended to allow electronic access to titles published by Johns Hopkins University Press, but it has expanded to include the âfull text of more than 300 journals from 60 different publishing groups worldwide." Another such project, developed by Cornell University Library and influenced by Project Muse, is

explored, with cancellations being significant among them; in one case, LSU cancelled $ 650,000 in subscriptions in 1992-93. Other alternatives emerged, however, involving the use of new technologies â such as those that enabled
Cornell's digital imaging project â and the increasing availability of the Internet.

DPubS has been designed with the opinion that âlibraries should get involved in publishing." As mentioned above, the traditional model of journal publication and the dissemination of scholarly information has been through those titles published by commercial publishers. Furthermore, due to issues of

Apart from
Cornell's own desire to inquire further into unconventional approaches to publishing, there was an additional motivator. One of the results of the release of Project Euclid was interest in the software used to produce it. Cornell decided that they would eventually release this software,
