Scholarly Publishing and Open Access: Straight Talk—Goals

MLA's Educational Webcast
Held Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Without doubt dramatic changes over the past several years in scientific, technical, and medical publishing have opened a Pandora's box of questions, confusion, and complexity for library patrons, researchers, and librarians and have become the subject of much discussion. The Medical Library Association (MLA) continues its engagement in the conversation and speaks to the issues in its Webcast, "Scholarly Publishing and Open Access: Straight Talk".

Objectives

  • Introduce, define, and explain significant models of scholarly publishing
  • Explore the impact of open access on hospital libraries, academic libraries, and authors
  • Discuss practical examples of new models of scholarly publishing and describe actions from both university and hospital perspectives to support new approaches
