Speaker:
Rick Anderson, Associate Dean for Scholarly Resources & Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah

Overview:
There is a growing rift between those who believe the library's most fundamental purpose is to support and advance the goals of its host institution and those who believe the library's most important role is as an agent of progress and reform in the larger world of scholarly communication. Although these two areas of endeavor are not mutually exclusive, they are in competition for scarce resources and the choices made between them have serious implications at both the micro level (for the patrons and institutions served by each library) and the macro level (for members of the larger academic community).

Join Rick Anderson as he reprises his plenary from the UKSG conference Annual Conference earlier this year. The plenary was warmly received and much discussed. The webinar offers participants the added attraction of a Q&A with Rick.

Feedback from June's webinar: "Good clear webinar and everything worked!" - Angela Duckworth, Liverpool Hope University
97% of survey respondents would recommend June's webinar.

Thank you for your attention. I do hope you can join us.
