Davis, Moderator Executive Director Association of College & Research Libraries Kara Malenfant Senior Strategist for Special Initiatives Association of College & Research Libraries Brett Bobley Director and Chief Information Officer National Endowment for the Humanities Changes in structures and policies of publishing and scholarly communications are a preoccupation for ACLS and its member societies. One of the most vociferous- ly advocated changes is the “open access” movement, which runs from demands for advocacy to business strategies. Past annual meetings have included sessions devoted to different points of view on these changes. This session will start from the premise that open access has become one durable dimension of scholarly communications. It will present the argument made by this movement, polices adopted or created by government to promote open access, and strategies by which society publishers can respond.
