OCLC, the non-profit computer library service and research organisation, has announced that registrations are now open for the OCLC Research Library Partnership meeting, scheduled for June 3-5, 2014, in San Francisco.
Exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, this gathering at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel on Union Square will focus on the library's contribution to university ranking and researcher reputation.
Increased attention is being paid to managing information about the research process, driven by reputation needs, assessment needs, and reporting needs. As the research process and its outputs are increasingly compared and ranked, how does the library advance university goals? How can the library improve the reputation of its institution and researchers? What new capacities and partnerships are required? The meeting will focus on reputation management, providing a mix of perspectives.
This meeting will be preceded by the Evolving Scholarly Record and Evolving Stewardship Ecosystem—San Francisco workshop on June 2, 2015. The meeting will be streamed live online for partners who are unable to attend in person. The live stream schedule and registration details will be shared in the following weeks as the agenda is finalised.
