The series of guides will provide the information, tools, and resources necessary to help you take on a new or unfamiliar role in technical services.

The business of libraries and publishers is increasingly interconnected. Libraries have supported open access, whereas many scholarly publishers have been wary about, if not hesitant to implement, open models. How are funding and sustainability achieved? What does the current library publishing landscape look like? How does the Library Publishing Coalition fit in? Speakers: Rick Anderson, Associate Dean for Collections & Scholarly Communication Meredith Babb, Director, University Press of Florida Micah Vandegrift, Digital Scholarship Coordinator, Florida State University ------------------------------ End of Tsig Digest, Vol 50, Issue 20 ************************************ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "[email protected]" group.
