Ten academic institutions will host 10 new webinars in the 2010 Scholarly Perspectives webinar series, launching on May 25, 2010, and continuing through 2010. The webinar series, sponsored by Elsevier, will be broadcast live and attracts an audience of academic librarians and faculty. The aim is to create a virtual forum for librarians, end users and Elsevier product specialists to discuss and debate the evolving roles of search-and-discovery tools in research and teaching.
The 55 minute webinars will feature a library information consultant, a university senior faculty member/researcher and an Elsevier product specialist. Presenters will share their views and insights on the evolving role of peer-reviewed journals and books, and the tools and platforms developing around them. A short live Questions & Answers session with the attending audience follows the presentations.
The Scholarly Perspectives webinar series was launched in November 2009 with three webinars. These were well-received, with over 1,100 library professionals and researchers from the academic, government, medical and corporate sectors attending one or more webinars. This year, the expanded series will include five local language webinars (German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese) on regional topics and five English language webinars on global topics.
The fall series will air in August and will feature topics on bibliometrics, national licenses, local language ebooks, and education. Interested parties may register for a webinar or view the archives at http://www.scholarlyperspectives.com.
