2015 SSP 37th Annual Meeting
SSP-NASIG Joint Meeting: Evolving Information Policies & their Implications…
Born from a suggestion from Bob Boissy three years ago that the two organizations produce a joint program, this special day long session will cover public policy issues ranging from open access, grant funder submission and publication requirements, to access for the print disabled, intellectual property, copyright law and fair use. Speakers will address the current status and speculate about potential developments, to help attendees gain a better understanding of current information policy and its impact on our current and future roles. Three expert speakers will address these topics from the perspectives of the publishing, librarian, and vendor communities that make up the core of our respective memberships. In addition, two intellectual property and copyright experts within the library and publisher space will share their knowledge and opinions. The day will conclude with a wrap up panel where all five speakers will share their predictions and respond to questions.
