Abstract
The means and method of scholarly communication are changing as new and faster forms of communication become accessible to scholars. The potential for electronic scholarly communication via the Internet and the World Wide Web to positively affect the current state of affairs is very good. It may provide the means to address the hegemonic tendencies of the large for-profit scholarly publishers. Many matters need to be addressed though. Some of these are: copyright and ownership of intellectual property; the methods used for assessing the work of scholars; development of the communications infrastructure, both within and among institutions; and provision of equipment and services to those in the scholarly community. This paper examines these issues in the Canadian context.
