ACRL's Scholarly Communication Toolkit now offers twelve cases,
integrating information from throughout the Toolkit, to help you
recognize naturally occurring possibilities to start discussions that
will create change on campus.
Opportunities to raise scholarly communication issues come up in a
variety of settings when interacting with faculty. Librarians can often
take advantage of these opportunities to increase awareness of those
issues and new developments in scholarly publishing. Discussions may
result in a faculty member's use of, and support for, new services
created by the library's scholarly communication initiatives. Some
faculty may even become advocates for introducing changes in the
institution's strategies of disseminating locally generated scholarly
content.
Read these twelve real life cases at
http://www.acrl.ala.org/scholcomm/node/43 and contribute your own via
the Toolkit comments. Help promote a shared system of research and
scholarship.
