local to bay area. for those interested. FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-1/f07/schedule.html Everyone interested is welcome! Sep 7: Clifford LYNCH: Authorship and Identity. In this talk, I'll look at various developments in scholarly communication (citation indexing, web statistics gathering, preprint archives); in identity management; and in name authority control. My fundamental thesis will be that there is an opportunity to begin to deliberately and systematically relate and potentially converge developments in these different areas; I'll lead a discussion of the issues and actors that might be involved in doing so.
