The survey consists of a mix of closed and open ended questions. Participation should take between 15-20 minutes. *Please follow this link to complete the survey: * http://goo.gl/forms/okWuTIyTcN Rachel Jaffe, Metadata Librarian, UC Santa Cruz and Edward Corrado, Associate Dean, Library Technology Planning and Policy, University of Alabama are conducting this survey. *Participation is voluntary; participants will have the right to discontinue the survey at any point without penalty.* Information obtained from the online survey will be collected in a manner that human subjects cannot be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subject.

Scholars can?t help but have to navigate the complex issues around author rights, access, costs, new models of publishing, peer-review, and compliance with research funder policies. These scholarly communication components are continually evolving along with changes in technical infrastructure, the economics of publishing, knowledge preservation, and social practice. Learn how scholarly communication models are evolving from the authors?, publishers?, and libraries? perspectives. The presenters will share and discuss their approach in adapting and navigating the issues surrounding this topic. *TOPICS AND SPEAKERS* - *Keynote Address: Ten Simple Rules for Changing how Scholars Communicate* *?* *Philip E.
