Public Access to Government-Sponsored Research Renaissance
Mayflower, State
Room 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
 
Join us as we explore the 'comparative advantage' that the
Federal
Government holds in the Open Access debate.  James King,
Chief Librarian of
the Naval Research Laboratory, will lead a well-rounded
panel discussion
through the history, issues, legislative efforts, and
opportunities related
to Open Access and US Federal Government-sponsored research.
 Specifically,
we have Heather Joseph, formerly of BioOne and currently the
Executive
Director of SPARC (Scholarly Publishing & Academic
Resources Coalition), who
will discuss her group's advocacy efforts related to Open
Access and the
Federal Research Public Access Act of 2006.  The second
speaker is Michael
Mabe, formerly VP at Elsevier and currently CEO of the
International
Association of STM Publishers (with membership representing
nearly all major
society and commercial publishers), who will present the
commercial and
society publisher perspective on the Open Access debate
including the
Brussels Declaration opposed to many of the tenants of Open
Access. Our
final speaker is Dr. Neil Thakur, the point person for the
National
Institutes of Health Public Access policy who will share the
NIH perspective
in this debate and their progress to date. 

This event is part of the ALA Annual Conference in
Washington, DC
[http://www.ala.org/annual] and will take place in the State Room of the
Renaissance Mayflower from 1:30-3:30pm.  This event is being
sponsored
jointly by the ALA Federal and Armed Forces Libraries Round
Table (FAFLRT)
and the Federal Library and Information Center Committee
(FLICC).  Please
direct question to James King, event coordinator, at
james.kingnrl.navy.mil
or 202-767-2357.
