NFAIS Half-Day Virtual Workshop: How Social Should Social Collaborative Networks (SCNs) Be?

Date: Thursday, May 25, 2017

Time: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm EDT

Location: Virtual

Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=527722

====================================================================
What's Covered:
As social networks become more popular, researchers are not only embracing them, they are also taking more proactive steps to use SCNs in a way that eliminates global borders in the research community. Join NFAIS for a half-day virtual workshop as we examine the trends, the market, and the stakeholders most impacted.
Our expert panel will examine:

  *   The expanding use of SCNS, and why researchers are moving beyond the traditional dissemination ecosystem provided by publishers and libraries.
  *   How publishers can make it easier for authors to maximize the audience for their work, while protecting copyright and ensuring that the total usage of a work can be counted when reporting to institutions and funders.
  *   Researcher demographics, and how SCNs are advancing researchers' work through greater visibility and citation.
  *   The effect of SCNs on library collections and discovery services.
  *   How all stakeholders can reach consensus on copyright issues, what works can be posted, what users can access it, and voluntary principles for article sharing.
Join NFAIS on Thursday, May 25th to learn how sharing in and among these networks is accelerating research, increasing collaboration, expanding researcher visibility, and how engagement with these services correlates to quality.
Who should attend this NFAIS Workshop: scholarly researchers, publishers, research librarians, government agency officials, and non-profit scholarly society staff.
