From kberlack at nfais.org Wed Apr 13 09:22:06 2016 From: kberlack at nfais.org (Ken Berlack) Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 13:22:06 +0000 Subject: [nfais-l] NFAIS Webinar 4/18: Planning the Future of Public Access to Federally Funded Research Message-ID: ==================================================================== NFAIS Webinar: Planning the Future of Public Access to Federally Funded Research Date: Monday, April 18, 2016 Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (EDT) Location: Virtual Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=505387&orgId=nfais&recurringId=0 ==================================================================== What's Covered: In February 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), under Director John Holdren, directed federal agencies with more than $100 million in R&D expenditures to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publication (while also requiring researchers to better manage digital data resulting from federally funded scientific research). With the subsequent introduction of the bipartisan Fair Access to Science and Technology Act (FASTR), which aims to codify into law the essence of the OSTP public access directive, the federal agencies falling within the directive's requirements have made significant progress in meeting the OSTP public access goals. In addition, while the FASTR legislation continues to make its way through U.S. House and Senate committee action, it's an important moment to review how the various stakeholders have addressed the needs of researchers and government agencies - including what publishers have accomplished in making U.S. government funded scholarly research and data more publicly accessible. In this NFAIS Webinar, three expert presenters - SPARC's Heather Joseph, CHORUS's Howard Ratner and the National Transportation Library's Amanda Wilson - will discuss: * The origin and purposes of the OSTP public access directive and FASTR legislation * The latest progress in regard to expanding public access to federally funded scholarly literature, research and data * What the future holds for public access policy in the midst of the upcoming national elections * How the public access initiative impacts non-profit and commercial scholarly publishers in the U.S. and internationally * The continuing effort to index metadata critical for accessing federally funded research across the spectrum of scholarly publishing Presenters (listed per presenter order): Heather Joseph, Executive Director, SPARC Howard Ratner, Executive Director, CHOR Inc. and CHORUS Amanda J. Wilson, CENDI Chair and Director, National Transportation Library, U.S. Department of Transportation Who should attend this NFAIS Webinar: government officials, scholarly researchers, publishers, librarians, scholarly society and foundation staff, information services consultants Join us for this NFAIS Webinar to get up-to-speed on the public access initiative with federal agencies in collaboration with the information services community. ________________________________ For individual registrations, the costs for this NFAIS Webinar are: $125 for NFAIS members; $150 for allied societies*; and $195 for non-members.

It's an important shift in human capital that must be understood in terms of behaviors, needs, values and expectations. With the ubiquity of the Internet, mobile phones, tablets and laptops are keeping millennials always connected while on the go. To be sure, millennials use mobile devices at twice the rate of people 35 and older, according to the 2015 Digital Marketer Report. To keep up with this generation, universities and colleges have to keep pace with technological advancements that suit individual needs. Faculty need to be tech savvy to deliver an engaging collegiate learning experience while reducing social distractions that mobile devices foster. At the same time, the role of the librarian is changing with significant implications for the scholarly publishing and communications community. In this NFAIS Webinar, Monday, May 16, EBSCO's Kate Lawrence, the University of Nebraska's Bernard McCoy and the University of Illinois at Chicago's Jenny Emanuel Taylor, will discuss in depth: * Who millennials are and what their behavioral approach is as they leave higher education and become consumers and professionals * What's being done to create the best collegiate experience for millennials * How institutions are using tech-based tools to improve student engagement and classroom instruction * The methods through which students absorb scholarly materials * How librarians are meeting the needs of students whose study and research habits are laser pointed on the technologies they use Presenters (listed per presenter order): Kate Lawrence, Vice President, User Research, EBSCO Bernard R. McCoy, Associate Professor, College of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Jenny Emanuel Taylor, Assistant Regional Health Sciences Librarian, University of Illinois at Chicago Join us for this NFAIS Webinar to better understand what Millennials are all about and how they (as consumers, professionals and citizens) contribute to - and disrupt - the information community. _________________________________________________________________________________ For individual registrations, the costs for this NFAIS Webinar are: $125 for NFAIS members; $150 for allied societies*; and $195 for non-members.
