Shifting Power Centres in Scholarly Communications: Implications and Future Roles for Libraries and Publishers

Joint UKSG & ALPSP One Day Conference

 

Date: Wednesday 13 November 2019

Venue: Leonardo Royal Hotel, London Tower Bridge, 45 Prescot Street, London, E1 8GP, UK

Time: 10:00-17:15

 

Overview

This year’s One-Day Conference is a partnership between UKSG and ALPSP, two organizations well placed to understand and address the scholarly communications community’s needs and concerns in this rapidly evolving ecosystem. The day promises strategic insight, practical takeaways and robust discussion among research funders, academics, librarians and publishers.

 

The pace of change in our sector has accelerated - and that change has also become more wide-reaching. We are moving beyond the “fall out” from the digital revolution – and its implications for user behaviours, customer expectations, product formats and business models – into a much bigger shift, where established roles and accepted models are being questioned. Boundaries are blurring, with funders and universities taking greater ownership of how research is communicated, and publishers and libraries exploring new areas in which they can provide services and support. Where does all of this change leave researchers - are they already realising new benefits, or are they suffering from having one foot in the old world and one in the new? What will happen next, and how should scholarly publishers and librarians prepare?

 

A networking drinks reception follows the final session. View the full programme and book your place.
