Twitter Hashtag: #SSPLFG14

Join us for the Society for Scholarly Publishing’s ever popular “Librarian Focus Group.” The 2014 meeting features a panel of leading librarians, with a wide variety of backgrounds and experience, primed and ready to answer the questions of publishers and industry vendors.

This event takes place, in Washington D.C., on the day before the Association of American Publishers’ PSP 2014 Annual Conference begins.

  • The library today: Budgets, resources, and question of unsustainability
  • Redefining Roles: Libraries, publishers, and end-users – who’s who?
  • Rolling up our sleeves: Where libraries are pioneering and why publishers should care
  • Who, what, when and where is a MOOC?
  • The White House/NIH/NSF told you so: What mandates mean for the future of the scholarly communications landscape
  • There’s more than one way to slice a journal article: The evolution of text and data mining
