Notes:
In developing this partnership that involves the university Press, the libraries, and the Academic Information System, we have tried to think think creatively about how to maintain what is most valuable about what we do, while remaining open to the new realities in our environment.
We have asked scholars and librarians what they need, what they want, an what they will pay for, and we have tried to use this information to rethink our long-range plans for our program.
The overall goal of this university-based center is to envision and then implement effective ways for acquiring, developing, and disseminating scholarly content in the digital environment.Over the last two years, however, as we have pursued this mission, we have found that our role has grown, and that we have become part of a much larger shift in the role of the university in the area of scholarly communication. This morning I will describe some of these transformations.
