**AGENDA**



11:15 - 11:20 am:  Welcome and Opening Remarks (Jill O'Neill, NFAIS Director of Professional Development)



11:20 am - 12:00 pm:  Workflow Involving Multiple Devices: A Professional User's Perspective (Roger Schonfeld, Director, Library and Scholarly Communication Program, Ithaka S+R)

Schonfeld is your typical power-user, whose position requires him to be on the road and online most of the time. As a researcher and industry professional, he needs immediate and seamless access to data and content.  In this session, Schonfeld shares his professional experiences with apps and mobile platforms, the most important features in achieving a seamless workflow, and where the user experience can fall flat.



12:00 - 12:45 pm: Lunch Break



12:45 - 1:45 pm:  Designing User Experiences with Portable Content (Jeff Lang, Platform Manager, Web Editions, The American Chemical Society; Ron Snyder, Director of Advanced Technologies, ITHAKA/JSTOR)

Lang and Synder discuss the content provider's perspective, including usage data, user preferences, and statistics on how their customers are interacting with data.  In this session, you'll learn how publishers are handling the need to make content portable and more usable through new functionalities, such as SNAP and Reflowit, and the benefits and drawbacks of using an app or hosting provider to meet the needs of the scholarly publisher, including financial considerations such as development costs and service fees.



1:45 - 2:45 pm:  Making the Most of Mobile Information Platforms (Bill Detmer, MD, MSc, President Unbound Medicine; Alex Salkever, Head of Growth, Product Marketing and Business Development, Silk.co)

In this session, you'll learn what two platform providers are doing to deliver an impactful mobile experience of publisher content, and the insight they've gained about content portability and usability along the way. Unbound Medicine is changing the way healthcare professionals answer clinical questions by providing clinicians with bedside access through award-winning mobile and web products using an end-to-end digital publishing platform and information architecture.  Silk.co is a data publishing platform and interactive data visualization tool that is democratizing how raw data is published and viewed.  Users can upload, visualize and publish their data to make a fully interactive site that engages users and encourages them to play with your data.
