Abstract
This article discusses the process of conducting an environmental scan after a reorganization of the Publishing and Repository Services Unit at Ohio State University Libraries. The scan focused on the institutional repository and publishing programs and was intended to give colleagues post-reorganization context and information about our work. The methods used, including stakeholder interviews of library and university staff and a review of peer institution websites, are examined. The conclusions and recommendations from the document as well as the lessons learned are also detailed. Lastly, the role the scan has continued to play in strategic planning as well as its long-term value is discussed.
