“…Scholars may tend to write in smaller units when the technology and publication venues make it convenient to do so (Borgman, 2000b). Even in a print world, authors tend to decompose their prior written documents and use parts of them in later publications (Bishop, 1999; Covi, 1999; Rayward, 1994). Electronic publication allows individual chapters, sections, tables, and illustrations to be distributed.…”

“…Social aspects of digital libraries constitute an area of growing research interest [17,23,25,26,30,34,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. Much of the work in this area focuses on scholarly communication because the information-related behaviour of scholars has received more attention than that of other populations.…”

“…Several recent projects have taken a close look at how scholars select content from published documents and then 'mobilise' that information in constructing their own new documents [41,49,53]. Scholars reuse portions of journal articles and other documents written previously.…”

“…As authors, scholars write individual journal articles which are then aggregated into journal issues and sold as an annual subscription. As readers, however, they often wish to disaggregate journal articles and extract items of interest such as tables, figures or bibliographies [41,49,53]. Electronic documents can incorporate a wider array of media than can print publications, making disaggregation even more useful.…”

This article explores the relationship between scholarly communication, an established research area receiving renewed interest, and digital libraries, a relatively new area of research. Scholarship is inherently a social process and it is embedded in a structure of relationships with other scholars, with scholarly societies, and with publishers and libraries. These stakeholders agree that the relationship has become unbalanced with the advent of electronic publishing, digital libraries, computer networks and associated changes in pricing, intellectual property policies and contracts, but they do not agree on solutions to redress the balance. Several problems worthy of research lie at the intersection of scholarly communication processes and digital libraries. These include the ability of digital libraries to support the cycle of information seeking, using and creating; the 'social life' of documents; and electronic publishing. Other interesting problems exist at the intersection of structures of scholarly communication and digital libraries. These include increased interdependency of scholarly documents, as links are embedded between documents, both within and between digital libraries; the indefinite preservation of digital documents; business models for electronic publishing and digital libraries; and conflicts between the physical and virtual aspects of libraries.

“…Libraries have also been charged with the responsibility of disseminating information and providing access to relevant information services based on the needs of local community constituencies (Rayward, 1994;Abbott, 1988).This includes the expectation of the library to act as a referral agent to local community information resources and support services that makes them directly relevant and situated in the everyday contexts of American communities across urban, semi-urban, and rural settings (Rodger, Jorgensen, and D'Elia, 2005;Middleton and Katz, 1988).The responsibility justifies the support libraries receive from local funding agencies (Usherwood, 1996) and provides the library a status that is unique and at a distinct advantage over competing commercial, governmental, and other information service providers (Comedia, 1993). The community referral-focused conceptualization of libraries has been liberating for the profession since it has insured the continuity of the library's role in public recognition as a storehouse of knowledge and information provider, irrespective of changing socio-cultural, socioeconomic, sociopolitical, and socio-technological advances over time (McCook and Jones, 2002;Van Fleet and Raber, 1990).…”
