Keeping Current in Scholarly Communications
Scholarly communication is rapidly evolving as alternative
publishing models become accepted, intellectual property issues
are clarified, evaluative criteria for digital scholarship
are developed, and as standards and conventions for accessing,
approving, and preserving scholarship are stabilized. New
laws, media, organizations, and conferences contribute to
the lively interchange. Here are some places to go to stay
current
