their spaces, their services, their collections by becoming strategic partners
in developing community-focused, social, cultural, and intellectual hubs. Our
seminar series this year will focus on the transformations happening in today’s
21st century library and in the changes that are to come. Specifically, we'll
hear from eight leading professionals as they present specific case studies
focusing on assessment as applied to these four areas:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p><p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"">

broad range of research communities in North America. Scholarly output in a
variety of forms (text, supplemental materials, code, etc.) can be accessed by
students and researchers before a final version of record is released. That
being the case, there are pragmatic concerns for various constituencies in the
information community. Does the feedback that authors receive from those
visiting these platforms suffice as a form of peer-review? What accountability exists?
Does deposit of a researcher’s preprint automatically qualify as compliance
with a funder’s mandate for OA? Additional issues include consistent use of
identifiers, the supply of complete and accurate metadata, assurance of
long-term preservation and system interoperability. Far from wishing to
obstruct this approach to open access, most stakeholders seek to ensure
preprint services will be appropriately recognized and integrated into our
existing scholarly ecosystem.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The two-day event will enable participants to engage in a

existing research processes. The objective is to identify potential issues and
existing gaps currently impeding the work of those most affected. Scheduled small

needs and identify mechanisms that will satisfy those needs. What’s working?
