"Alternative channels for publication from open access repository"

While the focus is on library journals it's worthy of consideration as a way to think about Challenge 6:

"But something funny happened on the way to OJS: I became firmly convinced that the traditional journal model is antiquated for sharing research and knowledge among librarians. A better course is to develop and nurture excellent blogs, with multimedia capabilities and guaranteed preservation of the postings. This could be an entirely new blog that starts from scratch, or an established journal that evolves into a blog."
--Marcus Banks

"I believe that gray literature—blogs, this ejournal, a few similar publications and some lists—represents the most compelling and worthwhile literature in the library field today.
To a great extent, the formal literature now serves as history, explication, formal results of formal research studies and background; the action is in the informal literature.
I don’t think I would have said that a decade ago, and maybe not five years ago. If I had aspirations to be a respected scholar, I might not say it today.
“Compelling and worthwhile” doesn’t necessarily imply scholarly or authoritative. Are blogs either scholarly or authoritative? A good question, one I may not be qualified to answer."
