Scholarly Communication

What can we do for you?

The Scholarly Communication Librarian works to support and inform faculty, students, and staff about their scholarly publishing options and rights. Emily is part of a distributed team that helps promote what SPARC calls an "Open Agenda" on campus to increase the reach and impact of the University's scholarly output. 

The Libraries can assist you with

• Understanding your author rights
• Navigating publishing agreements
• Copyright and fair use concerns
• Meeting funder open access and open data requirements
• Data management planning

Still have questions?

If you don't find the answers you're looking for here, then please don't hesitate to contact us at scholcomm@albany.edu.  

We will be delighted to meet at your convenience or arrange for a presentation for your class, department, or program on any scholarly communication issue of interest.
