Symposium Committee

The cost of scholarly publications is skyrocketing, resulting in journal cancellation and reduced access to information by researchers. At the same time, new models of scholarly communication are being created. And what will the future hold?

The University of Kentucky is hosting a symposium to explore the current crisis in scholarly communication. The purpose is to educate the campus community about this issue, to brainstorm about what we can do here at the University of Kentucky to impact this crisis, and to explore the opportunities related to the evolution of scholarly communication.

Meeting Details

Monday, April 7
8:00am – 5:30pm

Speaker sessions will be conducted in the William T. Young Library Auditorium. Breaks and demonstration sessions will take place in the Gallery.

Registration will be set up outside the Auditorium. Attendees can pick up symposium materials at any point during the day.

Please be sure to register by March 28! We need a good attendance estimate so we can be sure to have enough conference folders for everyone.
