University of Washington Libraries has a nice overview at http://www.lib.washington.edu/scholcomm/ and details about specific UW efforts at http://www.lib.washington.edu/scholcomm/local.html. On the UW efforts page you'll see that scholars are directed to their subject librarians if they have ideas for new initiatives that will produce change in the current system of scholarly communication. This suggests to me that subject librarians at UW play a key role in this area.

I have been asked to do a presentation on how scholarly communication

fits into our role as subject liaisons in academic libraries. Since

there isn't a great deal of information about this in the literature, I

was hoping that some of you may have had an experience or ideas you

would be willing to share (talking to faculty about current s.c. issues,

organizing workshops, creating web pages, working with other campus

groups etc.) If so, please get in touch with me directly at:
