MAKING THE FUTURE WORK TODAY

ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
Association of American University Presses
Association of Research Libraries
In Partnership with:
The American Physical Society
The Johns Hopkins University Press
The University of Virginia Library
Sponsor the Fourth Symposium of the ARL and AAUP
Visions and Opportunities in Electronic Publishing
November 5-7, 1994
Washington, DC
The symposium series sponsored by the ARL and the AAUP has become a
space apart, where stakeholders in academe and scholarly communications
-- faculty, librarians, and publishers from university presses and
learned/professional societies -- can gather to exchange information
about their interests and concerns. The Fourth Symposium will focus on
four issues: fair use, cost recovery, developing content, and
cooperative ventures. As the title indicates, the organizers are
especially keen to explore those areas where the interests of the
various participants may appear to diverge and in stimulating productive
discussions, particularly within academe, about concrete ways in which
we can work together to resolve any differences.
As customary, the Symposium will open late Saturday afternoon with
keynote addresses, reception, and convivial dining opportunities in
cafes and restaurants of Washington, DC.
Both Sunday and Monday will feature a mix of plenary and breakout
sessions.
Plenary sessions will focus on the overarching themes of:
o Defining Fair Use in the Networked Environment
o Exploring Alternative Cost Recovery Mechanisms
o Filling the Pipeline: Innovations in Electronic Scholarship
o Realigning Campus Roles and Relationships
Breakout sessions are designed to encourage small group interaction with
symposium participants. The presentations will be a concentrated
introduction to inform the audience of what is involved in the work
being described. Visual presentation and detailed handouts will be
emphasized. The breakouts will be of two types.
o Demonstrations of innovative applications of new technologies
(e.g., multimedia, Mosaic, Acrobat, hyperlinks) to a *publishing*
activity, which might include business innovations such as
advertising, cost recovery.
o Case studies of successful networked publishing projects that
emphasize the content and look/feel of the work, rather than the
technology per se.
We seek a range of offerings that include administration and management,
theory, legal issues, the practice of publishing and librarianship as it
embraces networked electronic cooperative ventures, economics, specific
projects, live demos, scholarly projects, and any other related areas.
The proposals may come from the wide range of people involved in
academic scholarly and scientific communications: scholars, scientists,
administrators, press and society personnel, librarians, software and
hardware creators, and others in related fields. ***We are particularly
interested in proposals for papers that offer new perspectives on, and
propose solutions to, the issues mentioned above in the not-for-profit
higher education environment.***
