Boston College FacultyTechnology Day Panel Discussion

The rapid evolution of the World Wide Web as a communication tool and publishing medium has created a variety of issues and challenges for members of  the academic community.  Scholarly communication is currently at a crossroads of competing interests. Concerns about access, control, intellectual property, tenure requirements and academic freedom dominate a process that is being redefined by commercial publishers, scholars and librarians.

Join representatives of the Boston College faculty and the University Library as they explore the problems and possibilities of publishing in the electronic age.

Participants will include Arthur Kroker, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Sociology; Mick Smyer, Dean And Associate Vice President For Research, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; Walt Haney, Professor, Educational Evaluation, Lynch School
of Education, Jeffery Howe, Associate Professor, Fine Arts Department and Brendan Rapple, Collection Services Librarian. University Librarian, Jerome Yavarkovsky, will moderate.
