New open access title: Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication

The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication seeks to share useful innovations, both in thought and in practice, with the aim of encouraging scholarly exchange and the subsequent benefits that are borne of scrutiny, experimentation and debate. As modes of scholarly communication, the technologies and economics of publishing and the roles of libraries evolve, it is our hope that the work shared in the journal will inform practices that strengthen librarianship and that increase access to the "common Stock of Knowledge."

An interesting article in the first issue: The Movement to Change ScholarlyCommunication Has Come a Long Way – HowFar Might It Go?

Looks like a good journal. One of the editors is from Univ Illinois, and she really seemed to be on top of her game. I have signed up to receive alerts.
