2016 Charleston Library Conference

A panel discussion about Scholarly Presses and information/data sharing with Library Administration and universities. Information and data sharing between libraries and Scholarly publishers present an array of unanswered questions. Among them are: How can publishers, libraries, and universities better support each other in a way that is sustainable in an era of budget cuts, staff changes, and diminished returns? What can libraries and universities learn from editorial boards and sales departments and what information is useful to achieve greater understanding of faculty needs? What types of sensitivities evolve around approaching faculty on both ends of the spectrum and what data and narrative is needed to better address those crucial issues?

This session will start to answer some of these questions, presenting case studies that look at how we might work together for mutual benefit.
