PAM Industry Partners Roundtable: Publishers and the Evolving Scholarly Record (SM12)

The PAM Industry Partners Roundtable is an opportunity for science librarians and industry partners to have in-depth discussions on topics of mutual interest at the SLA Annual Conference. This year will feature a moderated discussion on the role that publishers play in building a sustainable scholarly record, as well as preserving the history of their respective disciplines. Participants will discuss how the infrastructure of their work has been affected by the rapid pace of technological change; how open access, data transparency and author copyright advocacy has changed the incentives of legacy publishers; and what role collaborations between vendor partners, archivists, and librarians can play in future broad initiatives.
