New Challenges for Scholarly Communication in the Digital Era:
Changing Roles and Expectations in the Academic Community
March 26-27, 1999

The academic community has been deeply affected by the changes brought
by the digital era. The individual sectors of the community face
seemingly unique challenges that are in fact interconnected in the broad
system of scholarly communication. This conference, sponsored by
organizations representing faculty, publishers, librarians, and learned
societies, will explore the nature and scope of the challenges and seek
to develop strategies for change that are built on an understanding of
the needs of all of the sectors.
This conference is a sequel to the successful conference on the
Specialized Scholarly Monograph in Crisis held in September 1997. The
exciting and frank discussions at that meeting led the organizers to
plan a follow-up opportunity to bring these groups together on a broader
set of topics.
Topics to be covered in this conference include:
A. Getting Ahead in the Digital World - Faculty are being encouraged to
employ digital technology in the classroom, develop digitally-based
distance learning courses, submit manuscripts to electronic journals,
and mentor graduate students and junior faculty during this time of
incredible transition. This panel will address how these pressures and
some current initiatives in the digital arena, such as electronic
dissertations, the decoupling of peer review from publication,
electronic only publication, classroom use of technology and distance
learning affect faculty careers and their opportunities for advancement.
B. Distance Education - Many universities are moving into distance
education, some with enthusiasm and some feeling driven by necessity.
This panel will address the issues and challenges that are presented by
distance learning, including he expectations for faculty, ownership of
the courses developed, quality of the learning experience, academic
freedom, library support of distance learners, and potential roles for
societies and presses.
C. What Does it Mean to Publish? - The ability of authors to post
their own work on their own websites and the introduction of electronic
dissertations have created intense discussions of what it means to
"publish" in the digital era. Do online preprints and electronic
dissertations constitute prior publication? If so, what are the
implications for tenure and promotion? How do faculty balance the
desire to get their ideas out with the need for review for tenure?
D. Economics of Scholarly Communication - There is a disjunction
between the sociology and economics of scholarly publishing, primarily
in the sciences, that has affected the access to scholarship in all
disciplines. Can the new technology provide better and more
cost-effective solutions for scholarly communication? How do
solutions vary by discipline? What roles do the various members of
the academic community play in contributing to the solutions?
E. Preservation and Access - The new technology brings great
opportunity for expanded access to a wide array of electronic resources
which can be searched with powerful search engines across distributed
systems. But technology also creates such challenges as version
control, document integrity, persistent naming, authentication, and
preservation.
