The ARL-ACRL Institute on Scholarly Communication (ISC) has announced a series of eight webinars for libraries to continue developing their scholarly communication programmes. The webinar series is targeted at individuals from institutions that have sent representatives to previous ISC events. This initiative seeks to provide an opportunity for participants to develop and build on a network of colleagues.
Each webinar will be one hour in length followed by an optional half-hour online breakout discussion session. Optional pre-work assignments will be available in advance to enrich the experience or to provide necessary background. Featured guest speakers will provide current, practical perspectives on emerging areas in scholarly communication. Specific webinars may also appeal to a broader audience of librarians who feel they need to be better informed about particular scholarly communication issues. Organisations can participate as a group. Librarians can also participate individually.
The series will begin in March 2010 and conclude in November with one webinar per month, except for August. Speakers and final dates are being confirmed and will be announced each month. Online curriculum coordinators for the series are Julie Garrison and Heather Morrison. Participants can visit the workshop website (http://www.arl.org/sc/institute/iscwebseries/index.shtml) to register for the whole series or for individual sessions.
