Open Access And The Future of Scholarly Communication: Implementation

摘要

As efforts to advance open access (OA) and develop scholarly communication programs become increasingly pervasive in academic libraries, there is a pressing need for scholarship on the diverse ways that librarians are responding to this trend and the practical issues and challenges they encounter in implementing related programs and services, which this book seeks to address. This volume is the 10th in the series Creating the 21st-century Academic Library, and the 2nd of 2 volumes that address the topic of OA in academic libraries. In contrast to the preceding volume—which focuses on OA advocacy, related political and policy concerns, and requisite technical infrastructure—this volume takes a close look at core concerns and emerging themes and issues that arise in the practice of scholarly communication professionals.
