It is impossible to imagine the future of academic libraries
without an extensive consideration of open access-the removal of
price and permission barriers from scholarly research online. As
textbook and journal subscription prices continue to rise,
improvements in technology make online dissemination of scholarship
less expensive, and faculty recognize the practical and
philosophical appeal of making their work available to wider
audiences. As a consequences, libraries have begun to consider a
wide variety of open access "flavors" and business models. These
new possibilities have significant impact on both library services
and collection policies, and the call for new skills within library
staffing. Volume 9 of the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic
Library is the first of two addressing the topic of open access in
academic libraries and focuses on policy and infrastructure for
libraries that wish to provide leadership on their campus in the
transition to more open forms of scholarship. Chapters in the book
discuss how to make the case for open access on campus, as well as
the political and policy implications of libraries that themselves
want to become publishing entities. Infrastructure issues are also
addressed including metadata standards and research management
services. Also considered here is how interlibrary loan,
preservation and the library's role in providing textbooks, support
the concept of open access. It is hoped that this volume, and the
series in general, will be a valuable and exciting addition to the
discussions and planning surrounding the future directions,
services, and careers in the 21st-century academic library.
