Coordinator, E-scholarship@Mcgill.ca.
Copyright specialist we don’t call it Scholarly Communications Officer, but it’s the same idea.
Director and Associate Director of Copyright/Licensing Office.

information available and manages the Open Access publication fund.
Liaison Services Coordinator.
Our Science Collections Coordinator has taken the lead on this issue.
Primarily reference and/or subject specialist librarians at our Health Sciences and Life Sciences libraries.
Repository coordinator (and head of scholarly communications committee).
