Description
Summary:Cross et al discuss scholarly communication (scholcomm), which is one of the fastest growing and most rapidly changing fields in librarianship. Scholcomm jobs are increasingly prevalent at all types of institutions, and there is increasing recognition that, in a sense, every academic librarian's work serves and is driven by changes in scholarly communication. Unfortunately, while scholcomm is something we all need to understand, it's not taught in many LIS programs. Only a handful of programs offer dedicated courses, and only 12% of respondents from a survey indicated that scholarly communication was addressed in other courses.
