This three-day symposium is specifically aimed at the not-for-profit,
academic community:
o University Presses
o Learned and professional society publishers
o Librarians working with electronic texts
o Faculty and researchers interested in scholarly communications
o E-journal editors thinking LISTSERV and beyond
The symposium's objective is to promote information-sharing
and discussion among people interested in developing the
potential of the networks, particularly for not-for-profit
formal scholarly publishing. It will also focus on discussions
about developing collaborative plans for sharing networked
publishing expertise among the academic publishing chain.
Participants will discuss some of the latest research and
development from the not-for-profit sector, including work
funded by the National Science Foundation and prominent
societies and consortia.
The First and stellar Symposium was held in April 1992 and featured
first-generation, innovative efforts by pioneers such as Charles Bailey
(PACS), John Unsworth (POSTMODERN CULTURE), Stevan Harnad
(Psycoloquy), and OCLC, as well as other colleagues. This group of
presentations, in-depth questioning and discussion will focus on models
and plans for "second-generation" work. A one-day segment will feature
hands-on tutorials on internet connected labs at the University of
Maryland.
Date: December 5-8, 1992.
