NISO September Virtual Conference: Scholarly Communication Models:
Evolution or Revolution?

Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in
webinar-like formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for
participants. The longer length allows the depth of coverage of a
conference coupled with the convenience of a webinar.

Date: September 23, 2015

Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern

ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Scholarly communication deals with the systems and processes involved
in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Scholars can’t help
but have to navigate the complex issues around author rights, access,
costs, new models of publishing, peer-review, and compliance with
research funder policies. These scholarly communication components are
continually evolving along with changes in technical infrastructure,
the economics of publishing, knowledge preservation, and social
practice.

Learn how scholarly communication models are evolving from the
authors’, publishers’, and libraries’ perspectives. The presenters
will share and discuss their approach in adapting and navigating the
issues surrounding this topic.
