Open Access and the Future of Scholarly Communication: Dissemination,
Prestige, and Impact

 

14 August 2009 / Dr David Prosser Director, SPARC Europe

 

The internet is having a profound impact on the 300-year-old model of
scholarly communication. New technologies allow for new modes of
interaction between researchers, and a wider audience of administrators,
funders, governments and the general public. The lines between formal
and informal communication are becoming increasingly blurred and
publishers and librarians find themselves playing new roles in the
scholarly communication chain. 

 

One of the most powerful new ideas to emerge with the development of the
internet is open access - the notion that the scholarly research
literature should be made available to readers free of charge. This
presentation described current developments within the scholarly
communications landscape and provides an indicator of possible future
directions.

This lecture was part of ... [The Australian National University] ANU
Public Lecture Series 2009, presented by ANU Division of Information and
the National Library of Australia.
