Funding Our Digital Future: Budgeting for Libraries & Scholarly Yaples, Jill 06 Jan 2006 15:00 UTC

Binghamton University Libraries' presents Funding Our Digital Future:
Budgeting for Libraries & Scholarly Communication on March 20-21, 2006
at Binghamton University's campus.
The purpose of the symposium will be:
*          To explore the challenges of library resource allocation in
the digital age
*          To create a flexible resource allocation process to respond
to changing research and curricular needs of faculty and students, to
address the increasing interdisciplinary nature of teaching and
research, and to involve the university community in an ongoing dialogue
with the University Libraries in this process.
*          To address the broad issues of the changing nature of
scholarship in the digital age; both the production of scholarly
information and the communication of scholarship within the academic
community (e.g. the open-access initiative and its funding model
implications for libraries and universities) and how these impact the
challenges facing libraries in collection resource management and the
strategies used to address these challenges.
There is no registration fee.
