English abstract

The current model of scholarly communications fails to meet the information needs of researchers world-wide. New technology (in particular the coming of the internet) allows us to revise or to reinvent scholarly communication. This talk discusses the new models that are taking advantage of the new technology and describes a possible future for scholarly communications. In particular, I focus on the development of institutional repositories and open access journals and the way their interaction could result in a future where the world's research is available to all. The textual version of this presentation at the Conference "Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information: State of the Art and Future Trends" (Paris, 23-24 January 2003) was published with the title 'Institutional repositories and Open Access: The future of scholarly communication' in "Information Services and Use" vol. 23 (2003), issue 2-3, p. 167-170.
