ALCTS Continuing Resources Standards Forum: Predatory Publishing and
the ISSN Center’s response

Date:  Saturday, January 25, 2014

Time:  10:30 am 11:30 am

Location:  Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 117

 To begin the forum, Nettie Lagace (Associate Director for Programs,
NISO) will provide a short update about the new/updated Recommended
Practices for PIE-J, KBART, and Open Discovery Initiative (ODI).
Following this update, the session program will focus on predatory
publishing.  Rick Anderson (Associate Dean for Scholarly Resources &
Collections, University of Utah) will provide an overview of the
concept of “predatory publishing,” explaining the background, the
manifestations of predation that are out there currently, and some of
the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Beall’s list of predatory
publishers.  Regina Romano Reynolds (Director, U.S. ISSN Center and
head of the ISSN Section, Library of Congress) will follow with a
discussion of how the U.S. ISSN Center and the international ISSN
Network are dealing with this issue.

If you have questions about this meeting, please contact the ALCTS CRS
