The Association of Research Libraries is pleased to host the Web site for the papers presented at the conference, Scholarly Communication and Technology. The two-day event was organized by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and held at Emory University. It brought together a diverse group of people representing technologists, publishers, librarians, and scholars.
Issues under discussion during this two-day event included, the economics of electronic scholarly publishing, incorporating technology into academia, the future of consortia and access versus ownership, electronic content licensing, and updates on several electronic scholarly initiatives such as the Columbia University Online Books Project, Project Muse at Johns Hopkins University, and JSTOR.
A print publication, including the papers presented, a synthesis of the discussions, and some additional analysis of the topic was published by the University of California Press.
