Moderator:
Caite Panzer, Oxford University Press
This panel session will take a look at the current state of social media use in scholarly publishing, tracking how publishers, libraries, and societies have been using these tools, the lessons they have learned, and where they plan to go next. We will examine how social media has changed and continues to change the way scholarly content is created and disseminated. It will feature case studies and experiences from organizations that have been using social media to effectively connect to core audiences, and provide practical guidance and insights to help us move forward.
