Challenge 6 Alternative Channels of Scholarly Communication: Action Report
Margaret Landesman (Utah)
The group believes there is not a clear direction at this time. The challenge paragraph will be rewritten to tease out the issues. There was discussion about successful local efforts, but there seem to be fewer successful national efforts. The group believes that existing infrastructures should not be replicated. There was also discussion about creating a venture capital pool enabling the sharing of development.
