Sharing ideas and expanding knowledge are two of the guiding principles of academia.  HOW we do that - the future of communicating scholarship - is the focus of this exhibit.
Scholarly publishing is in a state of flux.  While the book and journal remain the primary vehicles for communicating published scholarship, how their content is reviewed, packaged, paid for, distributed, discovered, accessed, and preserved has changed over the last few years and continues to change rapidly. 
Many traditions of scholarly publishing remain, but new options, driven by new technologies and changing economic models, are now available and are becoming increasingly accepted in the scholarly community.
We invite you to explore some of those options in this exhibit. We hope this content is informative, that it answers some questions while raising others, and that it brings to light some of the problems that the academic community faces in the current scholarly publishing environment.
We intend that it makes you question some long-established traditions, and that it helps you to understand and embrace some of the new publishing options available.
We welcome your questions and comments.
