- About the authors
In response to new forms of research output and mandates for open data and science, scholarly communications and related work on research data management, copyright, and open access have become important services for academic librarians—including instruction and liaison librarians—to offer faculty and students. Academic libraries have become increasingly vital throughout the entire research process.
The Scholarly Communications Cookbook features 84 recipes that can help you establish programs, teach concepts, conduct outreach, and use scholarly communications technologies in your library. The book is divided into 4 thorough sections:
- Taking Your Program to the Next Level
- Open Educational Resources
- Publishing Models and Open Access
- Tools, Trends, and Best Practices for Modern Researchers
Recipes can be used by those new to scholarly communications, early-career librarians, and more experienced professionals looking for fresh ideas for their institution. Each recipe includes outcomes for implementing the project, and many also include outcomes for end-users like workshop attendees. Chefs have also aligned recipes to standards and frameworks, including the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, the ACRL Scholarly Communications Toolkit, and NASIG’s Core Competencies for Scholarly Communication Librarians.
