From mgranahan at nfais.org Mon May 8 18:14:18 2017 From: mgranahan at nfais.org (Marcie Granahan) Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 22:14:18 +0000 Subject: [nfais-l] NFAIS Half-Day Workshop: How Social Should Social Collaborative Networks Be?, 5/25 Message-ID: ==================================================================== NFAIS Workshop: How Social Should Social Collaborative Networks (SCNs) Be? Date: Thursday, May 25, 2017 Time: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT Location: Virtual Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=527722 ==================================================================== What's Covered: As social networks become more popular, researchers are not only embracing them, they are also taking more proactive steps to use SCNs in a way that eliminates global borders in the research community. Join NFAIS for a half-day virtual workshop as we examine the trends, the market, and the stakeholders most impacted. Our expert panel will examine: * The expanding use of SCNS, and why researchers are moving beyond the traditional dissemination ecosystem provided by publishers and libraries. * How publishers can make it easier for authors to maximize the audience for their work, while protecting copyright and ensuring that the total usage of a work can be counted when reporting to institutions and funders. * Researcher demographics, and how SCNs are advancing researchers' work through greater visibility and citation. * The effect of SCNs on library collections and discovery services. * How all stakeholders can reach consensus on copyright issues, what works can be posted, what users can access it, and voluntary principles for article sharing. Join NFAIS on Thursday, May 25th to learn how sharing in and among these networks is accelerating research, increasing collaboration, expanding researcher visibility, and how engagement with these services correlates to quality. Who should attend this NFAIS Workshop: scholarly researchers, publishers, research librarians, government agency officials, and non-profit scholarly society staff. Presenters (listed in order of appearance): Charlie Rapple, Sales & Marketing Director and Co-founder, Kudos Gabrielle Appleton, Managing Director, Mendeley Lenny Teytelman, CEO and Co-founder, Protocols.io Nicko Goncharoff, Chief Business Development Officer, Digital Science Dawn Melley, Director, Editorial Services, IEEE Periodicals Additional presenters to be announced!

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.
