What I really do

Read a lot of reports and articles

Interpret what I’ve read and seen

Send (a lot of) emails to library staff

Talk to campus faculty and administrators about what I do and what I read

Make sure these new ideas are infused into library policies

Why do I (we) need to do this?

Publishing models are changing.

Copyright law and perceptions of ownership are changing as everyone can access, modify and share information online.

Many university faculty members don’t realize how changes may affect their research and publishing.

The Libraries’ policies and collections planning may need adjustment, refinement, or review.
