http://bit.ly/NISOPlus_Economics_Of_InfoHow do the economics of information work? Who is paying for what, how, and why? How has this shifted in recent years and how is it likely to change in the future? Focusing on scholarly journals and the interplay between publishers, societies, libraries, and researchers — as both authors and society members— Keith Webster will provide a brief overview of how we got to our current situation. This will be followed by a conversation between Keith and moderator, Rhonda Ross, about the challenges of, and opportunities for, developing a more sustainable approach to paying for information. There will also be plenty of opportunities for audience discussion and participation, including a short breakout session.
