The California Digital Library (CDL) and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) have recently joined forces, with the CDL signing on as a major PKP development partner. This relationship has grown out of CDL’s recent work to incorporate a customized version of PKP’s Open Journal System (OJS) into the back-end submission and publishing system for eScholarship, the University of California’s open access institutional repository and publishing platform. This development work marks an important step toward fully integrated, open-source institutional repository and journal publication services, and the CDL and PKP have ambitious plans for extending this work to the larger PKP community. This panel will describe:

• How OJS was customized to meet the needs of eScholarship journals (including user interface modifications, the extension of a single OJS instance to support almost 50 independent journals, PDF generation, and more)
• Which of these and other features may be available in a future release of OJS as a result of this new partnership
• How the PKP development partnership program is shaping the direction of OJS and other PKP scholarly communication services
• How the relationship with PKP is likely to affect future development and service directions for eScholarship
• How this work fits into the larger effort of both of these organizations to refine their services in support of new practices and opportunities within the scholarly publishing environment
