Issues in Scholarly Communications

Abstract

SUMMARY The issues surrounding the crisis in scholarly communication are well known to librarians. However, academic faculty and administrators often do not have a similar understanding of these concerns, or what librarians are doing to deal with them. Developing dialog with campus groups to further their awareness of the current situation is important. During this session, three librarians describe different approaches to proactively engaging university communities in the discussion of current issues and options relating to scholarly communication.
