Since 1985, Harvard libraries increased spending on serial publications by 162 percent, while the total number of serials they purchased rose only 7 percent. Part of this disparity reflects the addition of electronic versions of journals, yet it also represents the expanding gap between the price of information and the ability of libraries to purchase it - a gap that demands new models of scholarly communication. The Harvard library community recently gathered to explore the issue at a program called Transforming Scholarly Communication. The meeting was aimed at raising awareness in the library community in anticipation of taking these issues to faculty and graduate students.
