*ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE*

Scholarly communication deals with the systems and processes involved in
the creation and dissemination of knowledge. 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.
