Reminder: The LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable is hosting an event later this month. Seats are still available; please join us!
Scholarly Communication at CUNY: Keeping Up and Looking Ahead
Tuesday, April 30th, 3-5pm
Graduate Center Room 9207
As austerity funding for CUNY libraries continues, and the unbreachable distance between library budgets and academic journal subscription costs only grows, the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable invites you to join the open access conversation. We will start by looking at current tools for open access curation, followed by lightning talks about current literature. Finally, we will form breakout groups to imagine our scholarly communication goals (for ourselves, for our libraries, and for CUNY overall), strategize next moves, and start the conversation about collectively manifesting our scholcomm futures.
This event seeks to ask a simple question: what would it look like if CUNY libraries took proactive steps to actualize our scholarly communications goals? Event details:
- Guest speaker Nicky Agate from The Idealis
- Lightning Summaries of Scholarly Communication Articles that Excite or Inspire Us (audience participation)
- Breakout Discussions—Moderated Action Lab
