The Philadelphia Chapter of the Special Libraries Association will begin its 2010 Programs Series on March 9th, 2010.
What: What does the future hold for Scientific & Technical Publishing?
In the dynamically changing world of Scientific, Technical and Medical publishing, what forces are at work and what tools do scientists need to keep up with and manage archives of research in their fields?
This will be an interactive session in which the presenter poses questions to SLA members and shares her knowledge of trends in journal and database publishing. Trends include Web 2.0, Workflow tools, Collaboration tools, and the impact of the Open Access movement on commercial and scientific society publishing.
