ACRL & Scholarly Communication
I started to post about ACRL's Scholarly Communication Toolkit but thought sending a link to the ACRL's entire Scholarly Communication page would be a better resource. The ACRL has many resources discussing the recent issues involved with scholarly communication and it is interesting to see their efforts to solve some of these issues.
"ACRL is committed to working to reshape the current system of scholarly communication, focusing in the areas of education, advocacy, coalition building and research. In January 2002, ACRL launched its Scholarly Communication initiative, with goals of creating increased access to scholarly information; fostering cost-effective alternative means of publishing, especially those that take advantage of electronic information technologies; and encouraging scholars to assert greater control over scholarly communications."
