    Last Year:
    Over the past year we focused on building our Open Journal Systems platform, incorporating Crossref DOI services, and supporting journal indexing and ISSN applications. We also expanded our Open Educational Resource (OER) publishing services with Pressbooks and H5P.
    Future Plans:
    In the coming year we will focus on Digital Exhibits using Omeka S, more Open Journal Systems (OJS) support and training, as well as policy development and implementation. We are also continuing to expand our OER services and planning to launch a digital press to support and house all of these publishing services in one location.
    Other Information:
    Our library supports open access publishing and allows journals to set their own policies at the publication level.
