L'ARL (Association of Research Libraries) a mis en ligne un guide (ARL Guide to NIH Public Access Policy) pour comprendre la politique de dépôt et d'accès récemment adoptée par le NIH (National Institutes of Health) aux Etats-Unis.

The E-only Tipping Point for Journals (What’s Ahead in the Print-to-Electronic Transition Zone), un rapport publié par l'Association of Research Libraries (ARL):

"This study seeks to discern how far the process of migrating to electronic-only journal publishing has come and to examine library and publisher perspectives on the dynamics that will govern the process of replacement of print editions with entirely electronic journals. Our goals are to:
- Identify the forces that have brought us to this point and are propelling or inhibiting further moves toward electronic-only journals.
- Understand key issues affecting the emergence of e-only journals and e-only journal subscriptions.
- Facilitate further communication about these issues among and between publishers and librarians so that barriers to more effective and efficient scholarly communication can be reduced."

L'ARL (Association of Research Libraries) publie un rapport sur l'édition universitaire et les nouveaux rôles des bibliothèques.
