Helpful Hints for Librarians
"Scholarly Communication: Science Librarians as Advocates for Change" by Elizabeth C. Turtle and Martin P. Courtois published in Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship Summer 2007 (http://www.istl.org/07-summer/article2.html).
Turtle and Courtois wrote this article for science librarians. However, the principles within this article can be used for all librarians who are concerned about the future of scholarly communication. What started out as subscription price increases ended up encompassing "a complex set of issues that includes legislation, public policy, authors rights, institutional repositories, access to scholarship, and new publishing models." This article provides helpful hints for librarians who wish to become advocates for scholarly communication. Tips include staying informed and educating library users (including faculty) about open access, authors rights, copyright, institutional repositories, etc.
This article mentions many of the concepts we have covered in class.
