UKSG has published the final programme for its forthcoming conference, “From Transition to Transformation: providing scholarly content
and services in tumultuous times”. The organizers are delighted to announce that
Professor Cassidy Sugimoto, of the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington, will speak about the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on research culture, research communication, and the types of support or
services that researchers need. Professor Sugimoto’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion in which
Dr Liz Brewster, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education at Lancaster University, and
Dr Gautam Dey, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Baum Lab, University College London will share further examples of how researchers’ workflows and information needs have been affected by the pandemic.
The event, sponsored by De Gruyter, East View, Talis and Wiley, will be held online over two half days (November 11th and 12th,
with presentations also available to delegates after the event). Over 250 delegates have already registered for the conference, with places available from just £35 + VAT, plus a number of free places available for groups such as students or delegates from
developing countries. For more information, the full programme and to register, visit
