| description | The first half of the 21st century has seen huge growth in the open access movement with the potential to change the nature of scholarly communication.

Traditional library skills and knowledge are required (e.g. cataloguing, digital asset management) but this needs to be supplemented by new skills such as advocacy and knowledge of research methods and funding systems. |
