October 5 2012 / ~ 60 Minutes
This free webinar, organised by the STM Library Relations group in collaboration with the Copyright Clearance Centre (CCC) has been designed to:
- Shed light on the way mobile technology is currently being used in the academic library environment to access academic content, especially peer-reviewed scientific research
- Examine ways in which the experience of such mobile use within an institutional environment might be both enhanced and simplified
- Look at what further developments are on the horizon, what advantages each development might bring to publishers, libraries, and end users, what the key stakeholders should do to ensure they are prepared for them, and which ones are most likely to gain the necessary traction to become new standard elements of mobile content access functionality
- Librarians who are keen to discover how issues they may be facing might be addressed and to learn what developments are round the corner in this area
- Publishers who want to confirm how best they can serve the academic library market with mobile technology and what technological developments may assist their so doing in the future.
