Igniting change in scholarly communication: SPARC, its past, present, and future

Abstract

This paper will explore the success of an initiative—SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing \nand Academic Resources Coalition—launched by the library community to begin to \naddress the scholarly communication crisis. Understanding that libraries are but one \nstakeholder in scholarly communication, SPARC was designed to build partnerships \nwith scholarly publishers and scientists in its efforts to create change. This particular \npaper, however, will address the issues and the progress of SPARC through the \nperspective of libraries.
