Challenges and Opportunities in Developing a University Press and Library Publishing Collaboration
([Bloomington, Ind.] : Indiana University, 2025-06-11) Pyle, Dan; Vaughn, Matthew
The past decade has seen an increase both in the number of library publishing programs and in the number of university presses reporting to their institution's library. While closer collaboration between library publishers and university presses at the same institution might seem like a like a natural outgrowth of these trends, differences in culture, financial constraints, and organizational structure can represent significant barriers to successful library-press initiatives. In the spring of 2024, Indiana University, having both a large, internationally recognized press and a well-established library publishing program, sought to explore opportunities for greater collaboration between these two largely separate organizations. This project began with a series of meetings in which IU library and press staff shared insights into their organizational strengths and inventoried potential avenues for collaboration. In this informational session, representatives from the IU Press staff, the IU library publishing program, and the IU libraries administration will offer their perspectives on this collaboration's progress thus far, sharing insights into what works and what does not when libraries and presses seek to join forces. We have found, for instance, that expanding previously established library-press relationships and working together to build shared infrastructure are promising starting points for greater collaboration. This session will explore, in particular, the integration of the IU press and libraries' journal publishing programs. Both programs have many titles operating on the same publishing platform (Open Journal Systems) while also being supported by the same software development team. And as we were already collaborating on promotion and typesetting services on a small scale, we decided to co-develop an Indiana University Publishing website that would centralize our journal programs' marketing, policies, services, and documentation. We plan to complete the new website in the coming year, and as open access publishing has proven to be productive for library-press collaborations in other areas as well, we also hope to eventually integrate our OER and OA books programs into this new joint venture.
Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC25) Evaluation Report
(Indiana University, 2025) Wernert, Julie A.; Miles, Tonya
The ninth annual Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) conference, highlighting the Power of Collaboration, was held July 20–July 24, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio. The PEARC conference series is a community-driven effort built on the successes of the past, with the aim to grow and increase inclusivity by involving additional local, regional, national, and international cyberinfrastructure and research computing partners spanning academia, government, and industry. The PEARC Conference Series works to integrate and meet the collective interests of the growing Research Computing and Data (RCD) community by providing a forum for discussing challenges, opportunities, and solutions among its broad range of participants. This report details findings and recommendations from an extensive evaluation of the PEARC25 conference experience, including its student, exhibitor, technical, and protege-mentor programs.

Food as Medicine: Cooking for Health
(Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement, 2025)
The Food as Medicine: Cooking for Health program is bringing local food and valuable resources to residents of the Indiana Uplands as a way to support better health. The program provides cooking lessons, physical activity events, and meal kits, with many ingredients sourced directly from the communities, to residents who qualify through programs such as SNAP, WIC, and other local services. Participants may also receive supplies that support meal preparation, such as oil, spices, knives, cutting boards, pots, and peelers. Launched by Dr. Julia Valliant of Indiana University Food and Agrarian Systems and The Ostrom Workshop in collaboration with the IU Center for Rural Engagement, this initiative harnesses a food-as-medicine approach to strengthen local food systems and increase health and well-being across the Indiana Uplands region. Local and regional partners spanning the food, health, and education sectors have collaborated to launch this program, including: Linton Farmers’ Market, Purdue Extension, Greene County Health Department, Greene County WIC, Greene County General Hospital, Greene County Health Clinic, Pregnancy Choices, RSVP Volunteer Center, Produce Patch, Indiana Rural Health Association Healthy Start Communities that C.A.R.E., Daviess Community Hospital, Schneck Medical Center, Community Health Center of Jackson County, New Hope Services Inc., Healthy Families Jackson County, VanAntwerp’s Farm Market, Plumer & Bowers Farmstead, Gleaners Food Bank, Lost River Market and Deli, Lincoln Hills Development Corporation, Healthy Families, Hoosier Uplands, and Mitchell Schools.
