Open Access to Book about Open Access
The Association of Research Libraries has decided to offer online open access to the content of Scholarly Communication Education Initiatives, #299 in the SPEC Kit series. The print version will still cost $45, or #35 for ARL member libraries. ARL uses member library surveys and in-depth research to publish SPEC Kits, which track changes and trends among research libraries and provide guidance to libraries as they negotiate these changes. Scholarly Communication Education Initiatives provides a survey of outreach activities among ARL member libraries and gathers examples of documentation from respondents in the form of proposals for education initiatives, scholarly communication and copyright Web pages, job descriptions, and education materials. To view the full content for free, click here. The page also lists other Freely Accessible Institute Resources.
