Program Overview

Scholarly communications is a developing area of librarianship that deals with the production, dissemination, promotion, and preservation of scholarly research and creative works. The Scholarly Communication initiative will find, assess, and provide tools and services for representing scholarship in a digital environment. Our vision is to support a variety of new modes and models of dissemination for academic work (open access, digital publishing, project-based digital scholarship, etc.). Areas of focus include our institutional repository (technical management, outreach, collection development); Open Access (education and programs on access options for scholarly work); author rights (information and resources on negotiating copyright transfer contracts); copyrights and fair use (information and resources on copyright as it pertains to academic publishing); research and writing (keeping abreast of the many changes and development in this area, and contributing to the professional literature); and outreach (creating partnerships with campus offices, faculty, and administrators to further the scholarly communications initiative).
