New technologies allow for new modes of interaction between researchers, and a wider audience of administrators, funders, governments and the general public. The lines between formal and informal communication are becoming increasingly blurred and publishers and librarians find themselves playing new roles in the scholarly communication chain. One of the most powerful new ideas to emerge with the development of the internet is open access - the notion that the scholarly research literature should be made available to readers free of charge. This presentation described current developments within the scholarly communications landscape and provides an indicator of possible future directions. This lecture was part of the ANU Public Lecture Series 2009, presented by ANU Division of Information and the National Library of Australia.

Are they alchemists transforming ‘turds and sticks' into the gold of societal heritage? Or are they just born collectors lucky enough to be paid to indulge their personal antiquarian passions? In this lecture, Michael Piggott reviews some recent criticisms of collecting archives and archivists, drawing on the theoretical literature, personal and professional experiences, and knowledge of Australia's two largest university collecting archives: the Noel Butlin Archives Centre at ANU and the University of Melbourne Archives.
