==================================
To meet the increasing interest in scholarly communication issues and to
allow librarians and other interested parties to exchange opinions, views
and news, the Association of College and Research Libraries is proud to
announce the new listserv SCHOLCOMM.
SCHOLCOMM is a discussion group that provides a forum for the examination
and analysis of topics such as open access to scholarly information, new
models of scholarly publishing, increasing journal prices, copyright law
and policy, related technologies, and federal information law and policies
that impact the access of scholars, students, and the general public to
scholarly information. In addition to ongoing discussions of critical
issues, the list will contain:
· postings on upcoming conferences
· calls for papers
· legislative news announcements
· other relevant material
This listserv serves an audience of librarians, researchers, scholars,
policy makers, and all who have a vested interest in the sharing of
scholarly communication.
