1:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Preconference: Collection Development in Digital Times
The digital transition is changing the way we think about collection development. Are we allowing the preservation of our cultural heritage to be guided by on the fly, patron driven purchases? Are public opinion and reactions in social?media the only drivers of scholarly communication? Usage statistics show us trends, but do they reasonably and reliably represent the value of those disciplines for which awareness doesn’t attract a critical mass? Where do Humanities & Social Sciences (HSS) fit into a collection development strategy, and what can be done to reduce the marginalization of HSS compared with STM? These are crucial questions that librarians, publishers, and scholars are seeking to answer.

Session One: New Emerging Business Models: Beyond Open Access
Open Access is here to stay. Eliminating barriers to access for scholarly literature is an idea popular with just about everyone — researchers, librarians, funding agencies, even commercial publishers. Each day new initiatives are announced which bring the scholarly content out from behind the traditional subscription paywall. The question is what are the business models and which of them are sustainable? This program will explore models that put access to information first, and disadvantage no one.

Session Two: Defining the Academic Book of the Future: Opportunities and Innovations
Scholars in the humanities transmit knowledge and often initiate discourse through the publication of monographs. For over a decade here has been a well-documented “crisis” in monograph publishing. At the same time there are some and probably a growing number who challenge the whole tradition of book publishing as the best way of judging scholarship. In this session publishers, librarians, vendors and scholars have got together to look ahead and project whether monographs will continue to hold their central place in scholarly communication in relevant disciplines, and what form monographs will take and in what scholarly context.
