Charleston Library Conference 

Jun 8, 2020

This week, we feature audio from a 2019 Plenary panel titled A Collaborative Imperative? Libraries and the Emerging Scholarly Communication Future. The presentation is moderated by Beth Bernhardt, Consortia Account Manager, Oxford University Press and a Charleston Conference Director. The panel consisted of Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, Membership and Research, Chief Strategist at OCLC, Jason Price, Director of Licensing Services at SCELC, and Alicia Wise, Director & Consultant, at Information Power Ltd. We’d like to thank Beth and all of the panelists for the wonderful presentation, and we hope you enjoy this week’s episode.

As a reminder, the Charleston Conference 2020 Call for Papers is now open. Submit your proposals before July 8 at https://charlestonlibraryconference.com/call-for-papers/.

Visit the Charleston Conference website to discover how we are responding to Covid-19. Our current plans are to provide a hybrid event, with the conference on-site in Charleston and an online/virtual component to go alongside it. If something changes and federal or state guidelines prevent us from meeting in person, then we have contingency plans to go fully online.
