Description
Scholarly communication is the system of creation, evaluation, dissemination and preservation of scholarly writings. Most of the scholarly communication is generally published in scholarly books, journals, reviews, discussion forums, blogs, etc. Other scholarly publications, particularly in the fields of arts and the humanities, may involve video and sound recordings. Libraries are crucial for the facilitation, dissemination and evaluation of scholarly information. These provide access to journals and other resources to help researchers, patrons and readers to gain information for conducting their own research. High pricing of research journals, proliferation of new journals, emergence of electronic journals as well as the internationalization and commercialization of scholarly publishing calls for a modern approach to scholarly communication. Modern research libraries have developed outreach programs to propagate information about open access, copyright and other communication issues. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to library science. It also discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of scholarly communication. Students, libraries, researchers, experts and all associated with these fields will benefit alike from this book.
