This Scholarly Publishing & Communication web site is intended to inform faculty, students, administrators and librarians of the current issues, problems and opportunities in the scholarly information universe, and to suggest actions for consideration by all participants. You will find links to informative materials on the topics of author rights, copy rights, publishers archiving policies and copyright contracts, and innovations in scholarly publishing.

- The Library helps fund the Compact for Open Access Publishing.
- The Library offers faculty and student authors an amendment to the standard publishing contract, which helps authors retain more rights to their own material. Learn more and download the full document and form here: Dartmouth's publishing amendment.
