Becoming a DOI publisher

I presented a segment in the Scholars Portal Webinar Librarian, Publisher today, and thought it might be useful to share the slides I used more broadly. My main point was that it’s reasonable both in terms of cost and effort for libraries who are publishing scholarly content to mint and register DOIs with CrossRef. Doing so has myriad benefits, and sends a strong indication to scholars and readers that one is taking the role of publisher seriously.
