SCONUL Executive Director challenges publishers to look at new business models

22 November, 2010

SCONUL's Executive Director, Ann Rossiter, gave a presentation today based on the theme of collaboration at the JISC Collections conference and AGM.

Ann called for a system of scholarly communications that represents a more even balance of cost and risk to value, with a greater distribution of benefits to involved parties. She reiterated that in comparable systems where disparities were found, partnerships had often broken down.

Ann also reiterated the importance of developing a better understanding of student satisfaction, with an appreciation of the role academic libraries play in promoting this.
