Scholarship and Academic Libraries (and their kin) in the World of Google
| Title: | Scholarship and Academic Libraries (and their kin) in the World of Google (ID: CSD4642) | | Author(s): | Paul N. Courant (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The prospect of ubiquitous digitization will not change the fundamental relationships among scholarship, academic libraries, and publication. Collaboration across time and space, which is a principal mechanism of scholarship, ought to be enhanced. Reforms in copyright law will be required if the promise of digitization is to be realized; absent such reform, there is a serious risk that much academically valuable material will become invisible and unused. Ubiquitous digitization will change radically the economics that have supported university–based collections of published material. Scholars and scholarly institutions (including libraries and university presses) must assert vigorously claims of fair use and openness. | | View this resource: | |
Seizing the Moment - Scientists’ Authorship Rights in the Digital Age
| Title: | Seizing the Moment - Scientists’ Authorship Rights in the Digital Age (ID: CSD3196) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2002) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Report of a Study on authorship rights by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. As this report evolved, a consensus was reached on the central thrust of the study-that scientists should be more assertive in claiming their intellectual property rights and that they leverage those rights to increase access to and use of their works through more creative and expanded use of licensing. The basic terms of such an approach were generally agreed to, with participants expressing varying views on the details. | | View this resource: | |
Scholarship, Instruction, and Libraries at the Turn of the Century
| Title: | Scholarship, Instruction, and Libraries at the Turn of the Century (ID: CLR1007) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (1999) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | To understand how technology is changing the nature of scholarship and teaching, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) joined forces to establish five task forces that examined these questions by looking at the special requirements posed by different types of information resources. The deliberations of these task forces are detailed in this report. From the discussions, CLIR extracted all of the recommendations that were proposed by individual task force members. While some clear priorities emerged, the groups did not always attempt to reach consensus on the various recommendations nor to place them in priority order | | View this resource: | |
