Presentations from the ALCTS Scholarly Communications Group in January 2011 on the topic of the "author pays" model in open access journal publishing

Consists of three reports, "Can a New Research Library Be All-Digital," "On the Cost of Keeping a Book" "Ghostlier Demarcations" (latter discusses large text databases such as Google Books and their impact on scholars)

From Elsevier, S&T Journals, Content Innovation. Offers models of dataset linking and application-based dataset linking to scientific journal articles

the title should be: when will email be OUT?

From a study conducted by Purdue University librarians, with respect to repository data collection of faculty output, identifying skill sets needed for the process.

"Much turmoil in the scholarly-communication ecosystem appears to revolve around simple ownership of intellectual property. Unpacking that notion, however, produces a fascinating tangle of stakeholders, desires, products and struggles. Some products of the research process, especially novel ones, are difficult to fit into legal concepts of ownership. As collaborative research burgeons, traditional ownership and authorship criteria are stretched to their limits and beyond, with many contributors still feeling short of due credit. The desire for access and impact brings institutions and grant funders into the formerly exclusive relationship between authors and publishers. Librarians, stripped of first-sale rights by electronic licensing, wonder about both access and long-term preservation. Emerging solutions to many of these difficulties threaten to cut publishers out of the picture altogether, perhaps a welcome change to those stakeholders who find publishers' behavior to block progress."

A survey of researchers in UK and European research institutions

A series of case studies presents how libraries (or knowledge centers) contribute to achieving organizational goals, including streamlining contracts with partners, increasing access to corporate members via newsletters and mobile-accessible technology, facilitating directories of "intellectual capital" (think HMS's Catalyst or MIT Expertise), a knowledge source and filter of developments in risk management, and a video archive of institutional knowledge. A wide range of organizations were consulted for the report and HBS' Deb Wallace was instrumental in its creation.
