The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) and the Charleston Library Conference (CLC) have partnered to present a scholarship exchange competition for the industry’s best and brightest. SSP and CLC are teaming up to award free annual conference registrations to an SSP Fellow and a CLC Up & Comer in publishing, library/information science, or related career path.
Fellows and Up and Comers can submit an essay to enter the competition. In the first phase of the exchange, current SSP Fellows were tasked with answering, “How will the needs of emerging professionals/academics change scholarly communications in the future?” Fellow Lynnee Argabright’s essay addressing the influence of emerging professionals and academics expectations of immediate access to scholarly communication has been selected as the exchange’s first winner. Lynnee will receive free registration for the 2019 Charleston Library Conference, held November 4-8. To make the most of this opportunity, Lynnee will also be assigned a “meeting mentor” to assist with networking and navigating the conference. Her essay and the essays of future winners will be published on The Scholarly Kitchen and in Against the Grain.
In January, CLC Up & Comers will compete to win free registration for the 2020 SSP Annual Meeting to be held on May 27-29 in Boston, MA. The scholarship exchange represents one of several collaborations between SSP and CLC. In addition to the exchange, SSP will host a pre-conference workshop and social hour at the Charleston Conference and co-host a joint webinar in early 2020.
