Advancing Research Communication & Scholarship
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 26-28, 2015
On April 24-16 2015, the ARCS conference (http://arcscon.tumblr.com/) will bring together librarians, scholars, scientists, technologists, publishers, and funders to examine the practices, technologies, roles, and economics that drive scholarly communication in the digital age.
Today we are asking for your help to shape the conversation of the conference!
Tell us what you want to learn and discuss, and who you'd nominate to be there.
The ARCS advisory team will work hard to convene sessions and gather together attendees that reflect community contributed ideas, thoughts and challenges. To join in on the conversation share your thoughts here<http://commons.pacificu.edu/arcs/submit_b.html>.
