==================================
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.
