Subject: Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues
> Second Annual Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues
>
> January 7-8, 1998
> Hotel Intercontinental
> New Orleans, Louisiana
>
> The scholarly communication process is undergoing significant change
> as paper-based publishing continues to be supplemented, and in some
> cases supplanted, by emerging electronic technologies. As electronic
> publishing becomes more prevalent, issues related to the creation,
> distribution, ownership and the economics of scholarly information are
> challenging all parties involved in the process, including scholars,
> publishers, vendors, librarians and academic administrators.
>
> The Faxon Institute's Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues
> series seeks to provide a forum in which all interested parties can
> participate in a provocative, but reasoned dialogue that can lead to a
> better overall understanding for everyone of these complex issues.
>
>
> PROGRAM FORMAT
>
> The focal point of the colloquium is a highly-interactive series of
> roundtable discussions which enable the participants to engage in a
> dialogue on a variety of key issues related to the scholarly
> communication process. Roundtables are scheduled consecutively
> throughout the day (Thursday, January 8) so that attendees can select
> one roundtable in which to participate and still be able to observe
> the remaining roundtable sessions from the audience. Attendees are
> not required to participate in a roundtable but can, instead, observe
> the program proceedings and ask questions at the end of each session.
> (Each of these roundtables is moderated by an experienced
> facilitator.)

>
> SPEAKERS
>
> Dr. Stanley Chodorow, Provost, University of Pennsylvania, will set
> the stage for the roundtable discussions on Thursday, February 8 with
> a talk on intellectual property issues and scholarly publishing from
> the perspective of a chief academic officer who is involved actively
> in shaping the academy's position on these issues.
>
> Mr. Robert Siegel, co-host of National Public Radio's popular news
> program, "All Things Considered", returns again this year to moderate
> the roundtable discussions.

>
