| Abstract: | This article recaps the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition's (SPARC) achievements and describes ways in which SPARC expects to develop in the future. SPARC has been instrumental in starting new journals, lowering the cost of journals, and stimulating increased publishing in the not-for-profit sector. SPARC's focus in the future includes the incubation of alternatives to current high-priced journals and digital aggregations; public advocacy of changes in the system; and education campaigns. SPARC and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) are partnering on the new scholarly communications initiative 1. SPARC and SPARC Europe were participants in the creation of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). |
