Penn Libraries, in partnership with SPARC, is creating a new initiative, Scholarly Communications UnBoxed Activities (SCUBA), hoping to help communities start conversations about their IRs and other scholarly communications services. Participants will be asked to then share those findings with the larger schol comm community in the hopes that if we can all find a shared understanding of our scholarly communications infrastructures, we might be able to better support each other in library-owned/community-aligned endeavors. This talk would present several activities to the group, asking them to have a conversation, to engage with one another in re-imagining their own infrastructures and services, and to think outside of the scholarly communications box.

The Box for Scholarly Communication UnBoxed Activity (SCUBA), including the presentation, videos, activities, and other ways to engage with this project, can be found at https://bit.ly/scholcommunboxed
