…In this webcast, publishers and librarians will discuss current emerging models for scholarly communication and its future. Damon Zucca from Oxford University Press talks about the transformation of the long-standing print Oxford Handbooks series into a dynamic article delivery service, providing scholarly research reviews in advance of their print publication and offering born-digital content—blurring ebooks and serials into a new format. Vicki Parsons, Head of Collections at Georgia Gwinnett College Library, talks about her experiences developing a library collection for a born-digital institution in a twenty-first century world encompassing both print and online. Rolf Janke, from Sage Publications shares his experiences of transitioning print content into the digital space focusing on how the value of content must not get lost in translation moving into the various digital forms.

As former Library Journal Editor-in-Chief Francine Fielkoff wrote in an editorial last year, “Libraries Should Be What Users Want—With a Little Help from Librarians.” Libraries everywhere are planning, strategizing, experimenting, and conversing with their users in order to realize how they may best serve as successful learning spaces in rapidly-changing technological, social and economic environments.
Creation is often seen as an important theme of future community spaces – supporting 3D printers and other means of publishing content are a few examples of how libraries may stake their willingness to extend their capabilities in managing shared resources beyond those of an information provider to an information creator.
Join NISO in its first Virtual Conference as we explore this theme with a range of experts – we aim to interact with the audience as much as possible to extend the conversation with those who are attending.
