Summary

"Building a Scholarly Communication Center is a unique guide based on the successful model for planning the Scholarly Communication Center at Rutgers University. The planning process at Rutgers is used as the springboard to identity issues, potential problems and solutions in planning and development. Success factors are examined along with potential obstructions, including: facilities design, funding, technology considerations, and impact on research and instruction." "The authors pull no punches in describing both the hard knocks and the rewards in planning the academic library of tomorrow today. Any academic librarian who wants to move his or her library into the twenty-first century will benefit from this planning guide."--Jacket.
