Scholarly communications covers a broad range of activities, including the discovery, collection, organization, evaluation, interpretation, and preservation of primary and other sources of information, and the publication and dissemination of scholarly research. As these issues become increasingly important to our members, ASERL’s Scholarly Communications Interest Group strives to support the development of such initiatives through the provision of education and training resources and fostering a network of colleagues who share similar interests and needs.
Committee Chairs
The ASERL Scholarly Communication Interest Group is currently led by co-chairs Sarah Norris (University of Central Florida) and Anna Dimoula (University of Miami).
