ACRL SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION TOOLKIT


Description

This Scholarly Communication toolkit was designed by ACRL’s Scholarly Communication Committee as a resource for education and advocacy efforts in transforming the scholarly communication landscape. Following nuanced and passionate discussions, we came to understand that the idea of bringing the full cycle of scholarly communication -- from discovery and creation of knowledge, to its dissemination, preservation, and re-use -- into all aspects of our work is central to the continued success of academic libraries. As information is increasingly captured, created, and communicated in digital forms, the activities of making scholarly resources well structured, discoverable, archived and readily available move closer to the creators of knowledge -- largely, faculty, students, and others within the academy. Understanding and influencing that shift is central to our goal. We believe these issues are key for our profession, and it is time for all librarians to fully own them.
