ACRL's traveling RoadShow workshops are on hold until it's safe to resume large in-person gatherings, but we're working to bring you the same great content through virtual experiences. These "Off-RoadShows" have been designed to help academic library professionals tackle the greatest issues facing the profession today. During this interactive three-part webinar series, we invite you to explore what scholarly communication looks like in 2021.
Webcast One: The Lay of the Land: Framing the Issues Impacting Scholarly Communication
Thursday, February 11, 2021 - 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
The range of scholarly communication initiatives is vast and deep, but a few key considerations underlie the field, impacting our work in a variety of ways. In this session we’ll survey the current landscape of scholarly communications and identify key issues that we must successfully navigate on our journey to develop, grow, and successfully promote these initiatives at our institution.
Webcast Two: Navigating new routes to sharing & evaluating scholarly work
Thursday, February 18, 2021 - 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
This session offers an overview of current practices and emerging possibilities for the sharing, publication, and evaluation of scholarly work. We will look at the range of options available for sharing scholarship, especially through digital platforms, the potential benefits and challenges of Open Access publication, and some of the latest methods and controversies in measuring scholarly impact.
Webcast Three: (Re)Building the Road as We Go
Thursday, February 25, 2021 - 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
This session brings together the threads from the full series and prepares participants to blaze their own scholarly communication trails in 2021.
