Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Course check: A conversation with three open access publishers about the challenges of sustainability (ID: CSD5110)
Author(s):Bryan Vickery (Chemistry Central), Mark Patterson (Public Library of Science), and Paul Peters (Hindawi Publishing Corporation)
Source:ALA
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (06/25/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and ACRL (the Association of College and Research Libraries) today announced that the topic of the upcoming SPARC-ACRL Forum on emerging issues in scholarly communication, to be held during the ALA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, will be “Course check: A conversation with three open access publishers about the challenges of sustainability.

System-wide innovations that increase access to the results of research and scholarship are a key interest for the library community. Library support for these innovations, which ranges from being deeply engaged to dedicating scarce resources, is built upon the principle of open access – on evidence that open access accelerates the production, dissemination, and benefits of new knowledge, and on an understanding of the paths and business models that can deliver it. It is with this last point in mind that three of the most important and innovative leaders in scholarly publishing have been asked to speak at the next SPARC-ACRL Forum.

With these roles defined, our institutions will help fulfill this epic opportunity of our digital age.
