OCLC Research Evolving Scholarly Record Workshop in
Conjun
I'm delighted that we are co-sponsoring an OCLC Research Workshop
on the Evolving Scholarly Record (ESR) in conjunction with the Fall
CNI Membership Meeting. The workshop will take place all day on
Wednesday, 10 December 2014 at George Washington University. This is a
topic of central importance, and one that is very much on CNI's
agenda; it is intimately connected with our efforts to understand the
changing shape of the scholarly record, and how this connects to
measuring progress and establishing priorities in digital
preservation, for example, and also to discussions about how to scope
and evaluate scholarly contributions in the digital environment. I
hope that many participants at our fall meeting can take advantage of
this workshop; I would also note that OCLC intends this as one of a
series of events exploring these questions, and these workshops will
continue through early 2015 (I will share these announcements on
CNI-announce as the details are available).
Below are details on the workshop.

___________________________
We are pleased to announce this second workshop in a series on
the Evolving Scholarly Record.
Co-sponsored by OCLC Research, the Coalition for Networked
Information (CNI), and the George Washington University Libraries,
this workshop builds on the framework presented in the OCLC Research
report, The Evolving Scholarly Record. Join us to explore the
responsibilities of research libraries, data archives, and other
stewards of research output-and identify new alliances that should
be forged to create a reliable ecosystem for preserving the scholarly
record and making it accessible.
OCLC Research Library Partners, CNI attendees, and other
interested community members with a mission for collecting, making
available, and preserving the scholarly record are invited to attend
the workshop. Seating is limited so register now to secure your spot at this free
event. This is the second in a series of Evolving Scholarly Record
workshops. The first was held in Amsterdam on 10 June 2014. See the Evolving Scholarly Record workshop
page for details; a more details agenda will be forthcoming
shortly.
