> CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
> 
> The Faxon Institute's Second Annual Colloquium on Scholarly 
> Communication Issues
> 
> January 7-8, 1998> 
> The scholarly communication process is undergoing significant change as
> paper-based publishing continues to be supplemented, and in some cases
> supplanted, by emerging electronic technologies.  As electronic
> publishing becomes more prevalent, issues related to the creation,
> distribution, ownership and the economics of scholarly information are
> challenging all parties involved in the process, including scholars,
> publishers, vendors, librarians and academic administrators. 
> 
> The Faxon Institutes Colloquium on Scholarly Communication Issues
> series seeks to provide a forum in which all interested parties can
> participate in a provocative, but reasoned dialogue that can lead to a
> better overall understanding for everyone of these complex issues. 
>   
> 
> PROGRAM FORMAT
> 
> The focal point of the colloquium is a highly-interactive series of
> roundtable discussions which enable the participants to engage in a
> dialogue on a variety of key issues related to the scholarly
> communication process.  Roundtables are scheduled consecutively
> throughout the day (Thursday, January 8) so that attendees can select
> one roundtable in which to participate and still be able to observe the
> remaining roundtable sessions from the audience.  Attendees are not
> required to participate in a roundtable but can, instead, observe the
> program proceedings and ask questions at the end of each session.  (Each
> of these roundtables is moderated by an experienced facilitator.)
> 
> 
> SPEAKERS
> 
> Dr.  Stanley Chodorow, Provost, University of Pennsylvania, will set the
> stage for the roundtable discussions on Thursday, February 8 with a talk
> on intellectual property issues and scholarly publishing from the
> perspective of a chief academic officer who is involved actively in
> shaping the academys position on these issues. 
> 
> Mr.  Robert Siegel, co-host of National Public Radios popular news
> program, "All Things Considered", returns again this year to moderate
> the roundtable discussions. 
> 
> 
> WHO SHOULD ATTEND
> 
> The colloquium series is designed for research library managers and
> administrators, scholarly publishing executives and editors, researchers
> who create scholarly information, and chief academic officers and other
> administrators who develop policies related to the creation and
> management of scholarly information.  The colloquium is highly
> beneficial for anyone involved in the scholarly communication process
> who wants to understand more fully the challenges and constraints faced
> by other members of the community.
