SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING AND COMMUNICATION IN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT
September 26-27, 1997
University of Toronto at Scarborough
New information technologies, and in particular the World-Wide Web, are
offering tremendous diversity of channels and media for scholarly and
scientific communication. At the same time, traditional paper-based
publishing is being rapidly transformed and severely challenged by
economic shortfalls and networking technologies. It is timely and
critical to examine how elements of the established scholarly
communication vehicle, the journal, can best be combined with the new
elements of distributed network publishing. The Centre for Instructional
Technology Development at the Bladen Library, University of Toronto at
Scarborough, is hosting an international symposium to examine the
changes in research practices and implications of electronic publishing.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This symposium is intended for all stakeholders in the scholarly
communication processes, from academics and researchers from across the
disciplines, who are primary producers and consumers of published
knowledge, to librarians and publishers, who add value and order to
intellectual products, and to computer specialists, who are increasingly
called upon to design and maintain the conduits for information
exchange.
GOALS OF THE SYMPOSIUM:
Promote knowledge of distributed network publishing among faculty and
graduate students in the university and research communities,
Draw attention to the wealth of scholarly and scientific information
and peer-reviewed electronic journals already present on the Internet,
Bring together librarians, computer specialists, publishers and
academics to consider collaborative models that would further
facilitate the scholarly communication process,
Explore the emerging cooperative research, resource sharing and
teaching models enabled by networked technologies,
Examine the limitations and advantages of scholarly electronic
publishing.
KEY ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION:
The role of Government Agencies and University Administrations in
promoting electronic publishing
Peer review and Quality Control
Legal and Copyright Issues
Archive and Retrieval of digital material
Searching, linking and New Tools for scholarship
Learning to Publish in the Electronic Milieu
Electronic Publishing in the Sciences
Electronic Publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Southampton).

Subject: "Studies of Interest to English and American Literature Librarians"
"Studies of Interest to English and American Literature Librarians" is a
cumulation of citations that appear in _Biblio-Notes_, the newsletter of
ACRL's English and American Literature Section. The scope of the
bibliography is to include any research of interest to our members, from
studies on building literature collections to the provision of literary
reference service. Of potential interest to Humanist subscribers are the
citations on computer applications in the humanities, and on the
information seeking behaviors of humanities scholars. The URL for the
bibliography is:

I welcome any additional citations people think germane to the subject.
