Years active: 2004-2014
NOTE: Beginning July 2013, the University of California Libraries launched a revised advisory structure. The groups within the previous structure are no longer active, including this group. See UC Libraries Advisory Structure (UCLAS) for information about the current structure.
Group Description
Reporting to the UC Libraries’ Collection Development Committee (CDC), which is part of the Systemwide Operations and Planning Advisory Group (SOPAG) structure, the Scholarly Communication Officers (SCO) group supported the UC libraries scholarly communication program and priorities. The group included a representative from each campus library system and the CDL. Members of SCO also coordinated the implementation of the eScholarship program at their campus. Co-Chairs were selected by the membership for a two-year term. The July-June terms of the two co-chairs were staggered.
