"Embrace Technology - or It will Embrace You" - Timo Hannay
Opening Keynote Presentation: Tuesday, October 21, 11:10 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
A common view is that publishing is about publications, or at least content. But publishing is really the business of delivering timely, relevant information to people in the most useful form possible. Increasingly such tasks are best achieved with information technology, not only to disseminate the information but also to gather and organize it in the first place. Many traditional publishing skills will continue to remain relevant, but to meet the opportunities and challenges of the web age they will have to be reinvented and combined with deep technological savvy. Organizations that can master this complex but potent combination will become the dominant publishers of the 21st century.
Timo Hannay is the Managing Director of Digital Science.
"Publisher of the Community" - R. David Lankes, author of The Atlas of New Librarianship,
Closing Keynote Presentation: Wednesday, October 22, 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET
Libraries have historically focused on knowledge containers: books, articles, journals, web pages. Yet the future opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge will come not from new formats, or content models, but by making the knowledge of the entire community available. The scholarly conversation can extend beyond the article, to the data set, to the intellectual foment of debate and idea generation. The state of society, and our places within it can now be accessible for all. We can look forward to facilitating the knowledge society.not documenting it, or describing it, but making it happen.
Professor Lankes is the Dean's Scholar for the New Librarianship at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies and the Director of the Information Institute of Syracuse.
Thank you,
