Despite limited resources, the nascent Scholarly Communication Unit of the David L. Rice Library has focused on creatively developing the themes of NASIG’s Scholarly Communication Competencies within and outside the library in order to develop scholarly communication services at the University of Southern Indiana. This proceeding describes the creation and development of the unit, its strengths and weaknesses, and some lessons learned in the hopes that more libraries like ours will see scholarly communication work as valuable AND attainable.
