The Faculty Senate Scholarly Communications Forum will be held on October 28th from 3:30 – 5:00pm in the EUC Alexander Room
There are many
reasons why faculty and researchers publish their work:
· - to share their discoveries
· -to make
an impact in their field
· -to meet
institutional and professional expectations
· -to foster
learning and discovery
How
these objectives are achieved is affected by where you publish and the
agreements you enter into with publishers about the ownership and use of your
intellectual output.
Come
join our guest speaker Christine Fruin, J.D., MSLIS from the University of
Florida to gain a better understanding of the legal relationships between
author, publisher and reader and how to better preserve the rights not only of
information producers but also information consumers through licensing and open
access. This talk will also explore how quality and impact is measured in the
modern scholarly publishing system and the new ways for discovering and
distributing scholarship.
