Create Change

The Create Change website is a resource which addresses issues in scholarly communication. The site is geared toward helping faculty and other researchers learn about sharing and using their research more effectively in a world where the scholarly communication model is rapidly changing.

The site poses the question "“Shouldn't the way we share research be as advanced as the Internet?"” and then provides information and practical methods for faculty to use in advancing the way we share research. Policies, technologies, best-practices and actions you can take to promote change are all available at the Create Change site.

Create Change was developed by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) and is supported by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL).
