In our changing technological and organizational environment, it is imperative that reference librarians and technical services librarians share responsibility for improving this relationship. One way for this to take place is for individuals to become more "accountable" to their colleagues. This article provides accountability guidelines for both reference and technical services librarians which, if followed, can result in increased communication and a better understanding of the roles, concerns, and needs of both reference and technical services librarians.

Marilyn K. Moody Scholarly Communication http://works.bepress.com/marilyn_moody/12 http://works.bepress.com/marilyn_moody/12 Thu, 07 May 2009 08:15:38 PDT The idea that universities and libraries ought to be more involved in developing a university's research distribution policy and developing strategies for the distribution of research and scholarship is one that is sparking a lot of interest among provosts and other university administrators. The February 2009 report by the AAU, ARL, CNI, and NASULGC, "The University's Role in the Dissemination of Research and Scholarship--A Call to Action" has been a particularly significant influence. Institutional repositories provide an important infrastructure for developing research distribution strategies, but many other aspects such as scholarly communication issues, copyright issues, campus publishing policies and strategies, faculty copyright and intellectual property education and issues, electronic theses and dissertations, and open access publishing must also be part of the discussion. This presentation develops a framework for thinking about research distribution policies and strategies and uses Boise State University as a case study. It also provides librarians with strategies for selling the institutional repository concept and working with administrators and others on campus. Major topics include: An overview of the research distribution strategies model. Research distribution strategies key elements and issues. Framing the conversation for the campus. Boise State University case study examples. This presentation was presented on May 6, 2009 as part of the ALA/ALCTS Institutional Repository Webinar series. Marilyn K.

Where appropriate, it compares the electronic bibliographic control products with their print or formerly print equivalents. Most widely available at this point are federal government reports and computer science technical reports. Information on coping with the various file formats found at the sites is also provided. URLs to the various technical report sites and to sites dealing with the software applications needed to access the reports are included. Marilyn K.
