Preconference: Funding and Content: How Philanthropy and Non-Academic Markets Are Shaping Scholarly Publishing
This program will focus on funding streams for scholarly electronic publishing. It will examine how various types and sources of funding
affect, and will continue to influence, what is published through both Open Access digital libraries and conventional e-publishing platforms.
Presenters will discuss the digital publishing goals of government and philanthropic sources of funding, and also trace the influence of the
financial and policy research industries on recent production and distribution of digital resources.

Global Perspectives
Librarians have been so focused on the whole area of licensing and commercial deals for digital materials that no real thought has been given to collection building in a digital era.
Non-commercial material has always been a substantial part of the intake of any serious research library from archives to grey literature and ephemera. No coherent philosophy of digital
collection building has emerged or even been considered. This session looks at such collection building from three quite different perspectives in order to explore what common themes
or differences emerge.
