Wednesday, February 11, 11:00 am–12:00 pm ET(US/Canada)
International knowledge exchange has been on a growth path for decades. In

policy, and research investments are reshaping publishing and scholarly
communication. Academic institutions and publishers are facing a
complicated policy landscape impacting everything from research
collaborations to conference attendance, and from rising print costs to OA
publishing.

Professional Development in the University Library at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Brian O'Leary, Executive Director, BISG;
and David
Weinreich, Director of Policy and Government Affairs, STM.
