Scholarly communication librarianship and open knowledge
Scholarly Communication Librarianship and Open Knowledge, edited by Maria Bonn, Josh Bolick, and Will Cross, is an openly licensed textbook, packed with foundational knowledge, as well as practical lessons in open data, open access, and open education; it also includes short case studies from those working in the field. Readers hear from nearly 80 scholarly communications (scholcomm) practitioners, offering a range of perspectives on everything from coordinating an OER program to supporting reproducible research through the curation of open data.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe book, intended for MLIS students and those new to scholcomm, addresses several well-known curricular gaps in the profession’s training—namely, in the areas of copyright, open data, open education, and scholarly publishing. Scholarly Communication Librarianship provides both the contextual information, and the practical skills and resources necessary for a deep, multi-faceted understanding of scholcomm and all it entails.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs an open textbook, Scholarly Communication Librarianship follows OER best practices in that it is written to be reused. The content is modular and easily adaptable for other audiences and contexts. It makes good use of previously published articles, book excerpts, conversations, charts, and interviews, pulling in relevant content from a variety of open sources. In addition, it is published under a CC-BY Creative Commons license for maximum reusability. The book provides an excellent example for other OER authors on how new and existing content can be interwoven to create an effective curricular resource.
