ACRL Scholarly Communication Roadshow, April 14 – Save the date!

Please save time on April 14 to attend the ACRL Scholarly Communications Roadshow, to be hosted at the Memorial Union by MOBIUS, the MU Libraries, UMKC, and Washington University. Sessions will run from around 9:30 to 4:30. Registration is free. Proposed agenda and registration information coming shortly!

Appropriate for all liaisons and others working in scholarly communication, the goal of the program is to empower participants to help accelerate the transformation of the scholarly communication system. Participants will engage in a structured interactive program focused on:

  1. Access
  2. Emerging opportunities
  3. Intellectual property
  4. Engagement

The workshop will help participants in very practical ways, such as: prepare for library staff or faculty outreach (i.e., working with faculty on publication agreements, interacting in their roles as liaisons, and developing programming for faculty and/or graduate students), contextualize collection development decisions to internal and external stakeholders, and initiate or support new models for scholarly communication in their libraries.

Our presenters will be:

  • Stephanie Davis-Kahl, Scholarly Communications Librarian and Associate Professor, Illinois Wesleyan University
     
  • Anali Maughan Perry, Associate Librarian for Collections and Scholarly Communication, Arizona State University Libraries
