Overview of Scholarly Communications
- Date: Wednesday, 09/03/08

The Association of Research Libraries defines scholarly communications as "the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use." This session will outline the main issues that have shaped the scholarly communications arena for the last two decades, such as the unmanageable increases in journal pricing, alternative modes of publishing, intellectual property rights of authors, and others. The session goal is to introduce participants to the breadth of the issues, and to serve as a building block for future topic-specific sessions on scholarly communications.

Please join us for part-active discussion and part-presentation of the
facts, rationale and scope, and compliance procedures for the NIH Public Access Mandate. The session will also cover the effect of this policy onscholarly communications issues such as rights management, open access, and economic impact on publishers. A key feature of the session will be developing approaches to talk to faculty affected by the terms of this mandate.
