Managing open access (OA) workflows at the University of St Andrews: challenges and Pathfinder solutions
No full text© 2014. Janet Aucock. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use and distribution provided the original author and source are credited.This article arose out of a presentation given to the UKSG seminar on ‘Managing Open Access: pain points and workflows’. It presents a case study on the workflows in place at the University of St Andrews and how these are developing to meet funder compliance policies and the challenge of the new HEFCE Research Excellence Framework (REF) open access (OA) policy. The case study describes the research environment at St Andrews and in particular the challenges faced and how these may be answered. Since the seminar in May 2014, the Open Access Research Publications Support Team has engaged in a ‘Lean’ exercise to evaluate and streamline workflows within the institution. St Andrews is also now a partner in the LOCH project, one of the Jisc Pathfinder projects. The paper gives an update on recent activities and looks at strategies and practical ideas for improving workflows and removing pain points.Publisher PD

To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Our e-book story from the University of St Andrews is one of partnership between the University Library and a particular research centre, the St Andrews Centre for French History and Culture. The Library and the editor of the St Andrews Studies in French History and Culture have a close working relationship which enables this series to be made available as open access e-books in the University repository Research@StAndrews:FullText.
Six e-books have already been produced and repository statistics show very healthy usage. Future publications are planned with a regular publication schedule.
In 2010 the Centre began producing a unique series of “midigraphs” which are shorter monographs of 25,000-50,000 words. These are also published in paperback with a limited free print run. Titles are rigorously peer-reviewed and in keeping with the mission of the Centre to “enhance public understanding of the Francophone world”, the publications are free at the point of delivery and come with no charge for consultation, downloading, printing or circulation, either for private use or for educational purposes.Postprin

Psyche in New York: The Devil Wears Prada Updates the Myth
No full textThe Psyche and Cupid story is a central myth of female maturation, among its other meanings. At its core, it is a story of a powerful older woman, a mother-figure, controlling a younger woman’s path to maturity, seemingly blocking her way by imposing impossible tasks, but through these tasks teaching her what she needs to learn to become an adult. In the Greek myth, the marker of maturity is full and socially sanctioned union with the god/husband; in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, the marker becomes a job that both “pays the rent” and that the young woman can hold with integrity and independence. I will also look at such diverse sources as the Tam Lin legend, Hayao Miyazake’s Spirited Away, C.S. Lewis’s retelling of the Psyche myth in Till We Have Faces, and the movie Julie & Julia as variants of the underlying “mother”/maiden conflict.This is the Version of Record (VoR) of the article originally published in Mythlore (2012).

Barrel-rides and She-elves: Audience and "Anticipation" in Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy
No full textPeter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, to the audience that loved the Lord of the Rings films, is an exciting opportunity to revisit Tolkien’s fantastic world and see favorite characters acting out their earlier adventures. The reader of the books, though, is often likely to find the difference in tone between the children’s book and the vastly expanded films jarring. This talk will explore audience expectations, the difficulties of filming a “prequel” after a “sequel,” and issues of “anticipation” in relation to character development
