NISO Webinar, Accelerating Scholarly Communications and Dissemination, September 14, 2022

Description

Given the rise of remote working and international collaboration, it’s not surprising that so many researchers have expanded their use of applications like Slack, Mastodon, or Zoom. But what is the potential impact on scholarly communications? What are some of the ways in which we can improve dissemination of meaningful work? Do different disciplines require different approaches? How can we enhance discoverability in a world of preprint servers, institutional repositories, etc.? What systems, what resources are most needed? This roundtable discussion offers the opportunity for those supporting researchers in a variety of settings to brainstorm the use of these new communication tools, and to envision what the long-term benefits and drawbacks might be.



Confirmed participants include Kristin Antelman, University Librarian, UC-Santa Barbara; David Crotty, Senior Consultant, Clarke and Esposito; Kaia Motter, Senior Manager, Open Access Policy, Wiley; and Mark Phillips, Associate Dean for Digital Libraries, University of North Texas.
