"Balancing Influence in a Shifting Scholarly Communication Landscape"

Sarah Wipperman, Shawn Martin, and Chealsye Bowley have published "Balancing Influence in a Shifting Scholarly Communication Landscape" in College & Research Libraries News.

Here's an excerpt:

With the acquisition and creation of scholarly communication platforms/infrastructure by major commercial entities, the balance of influence continues to shift. The ACRL/SPARC Forum at the 2018 ALA Midwinter Meeting brought together library stakeholders for a conversation about how the library community can reassert its influence to shape the open access publishing landscape. Panelists focused on 1) Individual action: "What can one person do?" 2) Local coordinated action: "How can one group or institution effect change?" and 3) Collective action: "How can libraries work together to provide sustainable alternatives?"1
