From: Maria Campbell <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 14:01:32 +0000 Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to invite you to the next free UKSG webinar - A QUIET CULTURE WAR IN RESEARCH LIBRARIES, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR LIBRARIES, RESEARCHERS, AND PUBLISHERS http://www.uksg.org/webinars/culturewar Date: Tuesday 30 June 2015 Time: 1430 BST Duration: 45 minutes including Q&A (up to 60 minutes maximum if there is sufficient demand for an extended Q&A) Speaker: Rick Anderson, Associate Dean for Scholarly Resources & Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah This is a free webinar and open to all. If you are interested, but unable to join the live event, please register anyway as a recording will be made available to all who register. For more information and to register, please visit http://www.uksg.org/webinars/culturewar 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 Maria Campbell Digital Communications Associate, UKSG E: [log in to unmask]
