Abstract

This session will build on last year's Scholarly Publishing Unconference. The wheels continue to turn as publishing efforts leach out of official publishing bodies throughout the university. This culture of innovation and experimentation has yielded a variety of efforts and products, each interpreting the needs of their constituents within the scholarly publishing arena. These initiatives are received with varying degrees of enthusiasm by the stakeholders within the community, prompting a number of questions that will be addressed during this session
