Welcome

Today, scholars, publishers and librarians are developing alternative models and initiatives to traditional print-subscriber publishing systems. The University at Buffalo community supports and contributes to the transforming of scholarly communication and publishing. This site is intended to inform our community of developments and emerging models for the creation, sharing, publishing, and archiving of scholarship. We will regularly update the site with information about developing issues, policy debates, tools you can use, and proposed models. If you have questions or comments about the material presented on this web site, please contact Austin Booth at habooth@buffalo.edu.
