The Serials & Other Continuing Resources Committee (SOCRS) is pleased to invite the IFLA community to our programme during IFLA WLIC 2021:<\/p>\n
How Open Access Affects Serials Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n The rise of\u00a0Open\u00a0Access, especially in the publication of serials, has been one of the greatest changes in sharing information and learning in the modern world. This is especially true as it affects the vital work of serials assessment, an ongoing process undertaken continually by organizations and institutions around the world. How this process works and the variables that need to be taken into consideration as part of it have been impacted deeply by the rise of Open\u00a0Access\u00a0publishing. Managing successful and productive assessments of serials requires a holistic knowledge of publishing which fully encompasses\u00a0Open\u00a0Access\u00a0and its position within scholarly communication; furthermore, it requires a global perspective, as\u00a0Open\u00a0Access\u00a0publishing spreads and adapts across national boundaries. By sharing thinking and experiences about how\u00a0Open\u00a0Access\u00a0publishing is affecting serials assessment across regions and across subjects, this programme will provide a view with both the depth and the detail needed to benefit the global library community.<\/p>\n Moderated by SOCRS Secretary Gaelle Bequet (France, ISSN International Centre) we’re pleased to have presentations from the following speakers:<\/p>\n\n
