Register today for the Society for Scholarly Publishing Annual Meeting

June 2 - 4, 2010, Hilton San Francisco Union Square

 

The theme this year is A Golden Opportunity: A Shared Vision for Publishers, Librarians and Users. The program is packed with many exciting topics that look at new technologies from social media, semantic technology, and the future of publishing to evolving business models - it is going to be THE conference of 2010!

 

Attendees will hear from two of our industry's thought leader: Brewster Kahle, cofounder of the Internet Archive, a digital library providing free access to works in the public domain and John Sack, Associate Publisher and Director, HighWire Press, Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources.

 

Concurrent sessions will cover topics such as maximizing the value and reach of published content, mobile strategies for STM publishers, best practices in publication ethics, and how libraries are responding to new challenges and opportunities.  Other sessions will focus on new communication tools, new technologies, new subscription and access models, and many other timely and relevant topics.  Pre-Meeting Seminars will be held June 2, 2010, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will include sessions on social media tools, implementing a full XML workflow, digital rights and permissions, and several other highly relevant topics.

 

The meeting also features three Optional Tours to Muir Woods, Alcatraz and Napa Valley on  June 5, 2010, the day after the meeting ends.
