Gone are the days of modest electronic journals! CALL FOR PAPERS
The IFLA Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section (SOCRS) invites colleagues to submit proposals for its two-hour open session at the IFLA Congress in Helsinki on the theme of Evolving Serials.
Theme: Evolving Serials - Managing, discovering and supplying highly innovative and dynamic content
Serials are evolving quickly and now contain linked data, visualizations, actionable QR codes, streaming media and other multimedia assets. They are delivered to end users via traditional digital platforms, and also via apps and mobile devices. Are libraries ready?
How are serials librarians embracing these new technologies? We invite papers that address the following issues:
- New developments in serials publishing
- Innovative delivery and discovery tools for the user
- Storage and preservation challenges and solutions for new serials types
- Case studies on challenges that librarians face with these changes
- Initiatives and projects on library linked data
- Adoption of mobile technology for serials access
- Measuring and assessing dynamic content
