Transform the World Through SCLA!

SCLA is the state’s premier library association. We are a group of librarians, library staff members, and library supporters working together to advocate for and improve library services in South Carolina. If you’re visiting this site, you must care about libraries, and that means SCLA is for you!

Scholarly Communication Interest Group

The objective of the Scholarly Communication Interest Group would be to improve the intellectual property rights knowledge and skills in SC libraries, as well as educate librarians in how these rights impact the dissemination of and access to scholarly research. This group will work together to encourage discussion and informed policy decision making, as well as serve as a clearinghouse for information related to copyright, scholarly communication, and related issues.
