Responding to the Challenges Facing Scholarly Communication
(2004-2006)

In 2004, the Senate convened a Special Committee on Scholarly Communication (SCSC) to address dysfunctions in the area of scholarly communication that diminished access to and impact of scholarship, impeded innovations in the dissemination of scholarship, and led to decades of hyper-inflated prices. The SCSC completed five white papers and one policy proposal that was unanimously approved by the Assembly of the Academic Senate on May 10, 2006.
