On June 14, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) approved a statement on open
access (OA). This e-forum will serve to publicize ALCTS’ OA statement to
its members and the profession, consider the statement’s applicability
to Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS), and engage
participants in a larger discussion about publishing in OA and hybrid
journals and the role of libraries.

What is an e-forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two days. Registration is necessary to participate, but
it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum.
To register:
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/sympa. Once you
have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again,
unless you choose to leave the email list. Participation is free and
open to anyone. If you have any problems, please contact
alcts-eforum-request_at_ala.org.
