Overview:

There is a growing rift between those who believe the library's most
fundamental purpose is to support and advance the goals of its host
institution and those who believe the library's most important role is
as an agent of progress and reform in the larger world of scholarly
communication. Although these two areas of endeavor are not mutually
exclusive, they are in competition for scarce resources and the
choices made between them have serious implications at both the micro
level (for the patrons and institutions served by each library) and
the macro level (for members of the larger academic community).

Join Rick Anderson as he reprises his plenary from the UKSG conference
Annual Conference earlier this year. The plenary was warmly received
and much discussed. The webinar offers participants the added
attraction of a Q&A with Rick.

Feedback from June's webinar: "Good clear webinar and everything
worked!" - Angela Duckworth, Liverpool Hope University
97% of survey respondents would recommend June's webinar.

Thank you for your attention. I do hope you can join us.

Maria
