He will have primary responsibility for developing services and programs that make use of DPubS. The Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing is a joint initiative of the Penn State Libraries and Penn State Press, and will use DPubS as a primary platform for its publications. Penn State has encoded well over half of the back issues for their next journal, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, using an XML data entry tool to streamline the process. Penn State is also creating a similar XML data entry tool for conference proceedings, using the new DTD, and will test it out while loading the proceedings for the Women in Engineering Conference from 1992-2002. University of Wisconsin-Madison The UW-Madison Libraries are committed to evaluating DPubS as a publication system to place online an open access e-book series in collaboration with the UW Press. The Libraries are hoping to leverage their experience building digital collections to advance their relationship with the UW Press. UW-Madison feels DPubS offers them the ability to foster a strong relationship, where both partners benefit from the organizational expertise of one another. Wendt Library, the UW-Madison Engineering Library, is also working with DPubS to place online the conference papers from the 14th International Cryocooler Conference: http://www.cryocooler.org/.
