Скачать или смотреть January 7, 2026 — Interview with Rick Anderson

Rick Anderson, the University Librarian at Brigham Young University (BYU), joins us today. Rick serves on numerous editorial and advisory boards and is a regular contributor to the Scholarly Kitchen. He has served as president of NASIG and SSP, groups that span from libraries to publishers




• Also, he and Kent are not related, even if people often misattribute things between them.




Late last year, Rick wrote a two-part contemplation (Part 1 (https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2...) and Part 2 (https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2...) ) of what the OA movement might have achieved and where things might reasonably go from here, emphasizing that a range of approaches might have to be embraced so we can focus on more central issues.



Rick has also written three books, including Scholarly Communication: What Everyone Needs to Know (https://global.oup.com/academic/produ...) (Oxford University Press, 2018).



Our wide-ranging discussion touches on how libraries first inspired Rick, his career journey from BYU and back, and his role in shaping discussions around OA through analysis.



We finish with “Discoveries of the Week.”
