This session broaches the topic of digital publishing. What does it mean to be publishing scholarship online? How do new modes of digital publishing and scholarly communication relate to older print and face-to-face models? What is worth preserving from older systems and what begs for radical transformation and reinvention? How are both the financial and status economies of academia changing with the transition to digital publishing? Mike Roy, Dean of the Library and long-time thinker about digital publishing and scholarly communication, leads us in a discussion. Lunch will be served.
