Federal Research Funding: Where We Are and What You Can Do to Help
Saturday, January 25 at 11am - Light brunch provided

With troubling economic times come repercussions for federally-funded
research in organizations such as the National Science Foundation and
the National Institutes of Health. For example, in March of 2013, an
amendment was passed that restricted NSF grants for political science
research, leading to the complete cancellation of all political
science grants by the NSF for the fall 2013 cycle. Come listen to Tom
Kecskemethy, Executive Director of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science and Mark Vieth, Government Relations Consultant, to
learn about this and other attacks on federal research funding, what
we are doing about it, and how the library community can get involved.

Open Access on your Campus: Implementing Article Processing Charges
Saturday, January 25 at 3pm

the Centre for Scholarly Communication at the University of Calgary.
Questions are highly encouraged.

Collaborative Improvements in the Discoverability of Scholarly Content
Sunday, January 26 at 11am - Light brunch provided

Discoverability of academic works demands cooperative efforts across
the scholarly communications supply chain. The second edition in the
SAGE whitepaper series on discoverability addresses recent

Somerville, University Librarian/Director and Professor, University of
Colorado Denver, Auraria Library.
