Evolving landscape of scholarly communications in BC: University of Victoria

Abstract

The evolving landscape of scholarly communications in British Columbia was explored from the perspectives of academic librarians and faculty. Members of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries are building and filling institutional repositories so that their faculty can make their own work open access, something that funding agencies are increasingly expecting. The University of Victoria Library's Inba Kehoe discussed copyright issues, of critical importance to the institutional repository, and to faculty seeking to deposit articles in a manner consistent with funding agency open access policy mandates.
