Not so today! Information technology, the Web, and the introduction of
social media have not only broadened the geographic scope of scholarly
communication beyond that of the print environment, but have
re-introduced social dialog and immediate feedback into the scholarly
communication process on a global scale. 

 

Scholars worldwide are embracing this change. But the organizations that
have been primarily responsible for managing the flow of scholarly
communication for the past three hundred plus years publishers,
abstracting and indexing services, and librarians have not, for the most
part, discovered how to interject their function and adapt their
processes to the newly-emerging conversational communication process. 

 

This meeting will provide a glimpse at how social media are beginning to
transform the scholarly communication process and how content providers
and librarians are using social media to meet the needs and expectations
of 21st century scholars.
