Has your organization become complacent? Joe Buzzanga of Fivesight Research, Alex Humphreys of JSTOR, and Michael Upshall of the Denmark-based startup UNSILO will shake up your thinking! Their experiences will make you look at how technology is generating more options than ever imagined. Technology gives us the ability to test and drive more intuitive means of addressing researchers' demands for new ways to search and discover content. In this NFAIS Webinar, our panel of experts will discuss: * How the human/machine interface has evolved to the stage of voice-enabled virtual personal assistants (VPAs). Fivesight's recent market study exploring the impact of VPAs on the plain old search box (POSB) will be shared. * How Text Analyzer enables researchers, through the use of natural language processing, to upload a document and get relevant results including content, topics and subjects. JSTOR pushed the envelope of traditional searching and will share what challenges and opportunities were learned from their beta test of this new tool. * How the UNSILO experience combines and applies machine-learning and natural language processing to discover a content's DNA. Ideas, topics, and relationships are not just captured. They are processed further to be understood, searchable and thereby discoverable in new ways.

Message-ID: NFAIS Half-Day Virtual Workshop ? Can funding for R&D be separated from political agendas? Date: Monday, July 31, 2017 Time: 10:00 am ? 2:00 pm EDT Location: Virtual Registration: https://nfais.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=531330 ==================================================================== What's the focus? NFAIS intends to tackle the rarely addressed subject of R&D, STEM, and Humanities funding in light of the vagaries brought about by changes in government policies. The near-current advent of Brexit coupled with the new U.S. administration creates a palatable fear among researchers around the globe. Will funding for R&D align with political positions? And how will government agencies manage public expectations, priorities, and ideologies? What real impacts have these recent developments already had on research funding, what might come about in the near future, and which of these might be expected to impact scholarly communications in the long run? During this half-day workshop our presenters from both sides of the Atlantic will take on these tough questions: ? Will funding for R&D align with political positions? ? How will government agencies manage public expectations, priorities, and idealogies? ? What real impacts have these recent developments already had on research funding? ? What might come about in the near future? ? And which of these might be expected to impact scholarly communications in the long run?
