[Irtalk] "Scholarly Communication Coaching: Liaison Librarians' Shifting Roles" by Todd Bruns, Steve Brantley et al.

[Hilton Gibson]

Two and a half decades into the open access (OA) movement, rapid changes in
scholarly communication are creating significant demands on scholars.
Today’s scholars must wrestle with meeting funder mandates for providing
public access to their research, managing and preserving raw data,
establishing/publishing open access journals, understanding the difference
between “green OA” and “gold OA,” navigating the complicated issues around
copyright and intellectual property, avoiding potentially predatory
publishers, adapting their tenure plans to OA, and discovering increasing
amounts of OA resources for their research and their curricular
materials. *These
demands present an opportunity and a need for librarians to step in and
assist scholars with the scholarly communication process.*
