====================================================================
What's Covered:
With a new administration set to take office in just nine days, there is palpable flux and uncertainty in regard to key issues such as federal R&D appropriations, open access to
federally funded research, copyright protection and more.
At the same time, the scholarly record is undergoing a transformation - or "big pivot" - in how it functions and serves the information and scholarly research communities. Never
before has there been such a high degree of opportunity and challenge surrounding the information community.
With this dynamic in play, there's no better time than now to join with your colleagues to engage in the urgent task of setting the future course of information services.
