| Popis: | 99 The emergence of the Internet not only has changed the channels of scholarly communication and the types of scholarly publishing, but also has diversified how information is exchanged, searched and shared in scholarly communities. The phenomenal adoption of online publication has challenged how university libraries provide publishing services. Keeping current with academics making research papers available through open access, university libraries are offering journal publishing services online. Although we know "university libraries should be the publisher" from a lot of literature, we have not yet find the best approach from University Libraries that provide electronic journal publishing services. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of university library as scholarly electronic journal publisher in Taiwan. To reach the purposes, researcher firstly takes Research and Development method to set up the National Taiwan Normal University Library Open Journal Systems by using Open Journal Systems ; uses survey and interview to understand the operation of journals, the needs of journal editors, and their opinions on " Library as Scholarly Electronic Journal Publisher". Through these data, researcher will investigate the feasibility of university library as scholarly electronic journal publisher by providing the system, and which kinds of scholarly electronic journal publishing services that library can provide. The results show that the Library should establish a Publishing Center or Press to responsible for all matters of scholarly publishing in the university. The main trouble of all units are lack of human resource and technical problems. Library should act as a mediator to integrate resources on campus, provide human resources, and hold training course; Library can provide equipments to reserve publications, maintain the system and provide technical advice by the professional, hold a regular training program, and act as a mediator. Based on the results above, researcher gives some suggestions from different aspects of "organization", "culture", "policy", "funding", "human resource", and "technical support" for National Taiwan Normal University library and other University Library, which try to carry out the Electronic Journal Publishing Services.
