The array of publishing models is constantly evolving in support of open scholarship. The 51ÁÔÆæ Libraries have cultivated expertise to lead the academic community in understanding how publishing models, open access strategies, copyright, author\u2019s rights, licenses, and other related issues impact research and teaching. To that end, the Scholarly Communication team will engage the 51ÁÔÆæ community by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Developing and delivering timely education and outreach such as workshops and marketing messages regarding open access publishing options for 51ÁÔÆæ authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Identifying and organizing relevant programs with speakers to highlight the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openaccessweek.org\/\">Open Access Week<\/a>&nbsp;themes and other important topics in scholarly communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Partnering with campus units to foster dialogue in alignment with the 2030 strategic goals for open scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-scholarly-communication\">What Is Scholarly Communication?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholarly communication is defined by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ala.org\/acrl\/publications\/whitepapers\/principlesstrategies\">Association of College and Research Libraries<\/a>&nbsp;as: \u201cthe system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dc\">MINDS@UW Milwaukee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/libraries\/mindsuw-milwaukee\/\">MINDS@UW Milwaukee<\/a> is an open online repository that serves as a showcase for 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s scholarship.
