Friends, Here is an open access book all of us can benefit from. Bonn_Bolick_Cross_ScholarlyCommunicationLibrarianship_2023.pdf (11.36Mb) https://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/bitstream/handle/1808/34797/Bonn_Bolick_Cross_ScholarlyCommunicationLibrarianship_2023.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y . Published earlier this year, "*Scholarly Communication Librarianship and Open Knowledge* is an open access text to guide librarians, scholars and students interested in scholarly communications and open knowledge through theory, practice and case studies in the movement. Edited by Maria Bonn of the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, Josh Bolick of the University of Kansas and Will Cross of North Carolina State University, the book addresses issues in scholarly publishing and open knowledge movements," says Mike Krings of the University of Kansas News Service. See New book provides guide to librarians, scholars on open access, scholarly communication | The University of Kansas (ku.edu) https://today.ku.edu/2023/10/23/new-book-provides-guide-librarians-scholars-... . I recommend the book to teachers and students of LIS, as well as scientists and scholars in other fields who want to keep abreast of developments in scholarly communication. About eighty authors from dozens of institutions have contributed chapters, and they have referred to many earlier sources. Individuals can download them, but it would be fair if institutional libraries bought physical copies from the publisher. With best wishes, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658
