The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) have announced that registration is now open for the sixth webinar in the ARL-ACRL Institute on Scholarly Communication (ISC) series, Strengthening Programs through Collaboration. The webinar, ‘Broader Library Involvement in Building Programs—Organizational Strategy,’ is scheduled for September 21, 2010, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT. It is the first of two that will focus on the shifting roles of libraries and their staffs, specifically as those roles relate to sustaining scholarly communications programmes.
Speakers will discuss how libraries are conceiving of their work differently and how they are filling these needs. Case studies will highlight the time and energy taken up by scholarly communications activities at their institutions and how the work is managed. The registration deadline is September 14, 2010.
Scheduled speakers include Karen Williams, Associate University Librarian for Academic Programs, University of Minnesota Libraries; Michael Furlough, Assistant Dean for Scholarly Communications and Co-Director, Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing, Penn State University; and Doug Way, Head of Collections, Grand Valley State University.
The Strengthening Programs through Collaboration webinar series seeks to assist libraries in taking their scholarly communication programmes to the next level. The eight-part ISC webinar series is targeted to those who are in the midst of creating their own institutional scholarly communication programme. This programme will enable those who have responsibilities for working with staff and colleagues an opportunity to share experiences.
