NFAIS 2018 Annual Conference

In recent years, dramatic changes in scholarly publishing have altered how researchers consume, exchange, interact with, and disseminate scholarly communications. These dramatic changes will leave a footprint on global scholarship of the future but presently are plagued by diverging views, and therefore, potentially diverging paths toward the same goals.
