Several members of the GSLIS community will participate in the 2015 Charleston Conference, an annual meeting that draws librarians, publishers, vendors, and others to discuss issues relating to the acquisition of books and serials. The conference will be held November 4-7 in Charleston, South Carolina.

On November 6, Senior Lecturer Maria Bonn will participate in a panel discussion of developments in library publishing from the 1990s to present titled, “The Once and Future Publishing Library.” She will also engage in a debate regarding the use of altmetrics—new electronic methods for measuring the use and significance of scholarly articles—in which she will argue for their use.

Affiliated faculty member Lisa Hinchliffe (MS ’94) and master’s student Emily Hardesty will give a presentation on November 5 titled, “Publishing Our Own Work: Contributing to the Professional Literature through Systematizing Sharing of Library Reports.” This talk will highlight the Library Occasional Report Series, a publication developed at the University of Illinois Library to allow library staff at Illinois and elsewhere to share findings and insights gleaned from on-the-job research. Also on November 5, Hinchliffe will participate in a panel discussion of “Size, Perception, and Power in Library/Vendor Relations.”

Adjunct Lecturer Steve Oberg (MS '91) will speak on the benefits of pay-per-view journal article practices. His presentation, “Toward Improved ROI: Outcomes of Researching Current Pay-Per-View Practices,” will be held on November 5.
