The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) have given considerable attention in recent years to practices of scholarly communication.
In particular, the ARL and ACRL have identified a crisis in the system
that currently links scholars, libraries, institutions and publishers,
and they have proposed a number of strategies
to rectify that system. Notable elements include promoting author
rights, open access journals, and open access institutional
repositories. As part of their program to educate librarians, faculty,
publishers, and information technologists about these strategies, the
ARL and ACRL regularly and jointly host three-day Institutes on Scholarly Communication. An explicit goal of these institutes is that participants "become
fluent with scholarly communication issues and trends so that [they]
are positioned to educate others on [the] library staff, engage in
campus communications programs and other advocacy efforts, and work
collaboratively with other participants to begin developing an outreach
plan for [their] campus[es]." [1]
