Science Librarians and Scholarly Communication
The Summer 2007 issue of ISTL (Issues in Science and Technology LIbrarianship) includes an article by Elizabeth C. Turtle and Martin P. Courtois on the importance of science librarians in the scholarly communication process. Quoting Turtle and Courtois, "It is our view that the range of issues being addressed under the umbrella of scholarly communication offers tremendous opportunity to expand access to scientific information".
