25th Annual Nakata
Lecture
"Universities
and the Ecology of Scholarly Publication," featuring R. Michael
Tanner, Provost, University of Illinois at Chicago
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
Program 3-5 p.m.; Reception to follow
Cardinal Room, Student Center East (formerly Chicago Circle Center)
Provost Tanner will address the distribution, pricing and control of
information in scholarly publishing. Publishers' costs have been
reduced by new technologies (such as Web publishing), while journal
prices have continued to climb. Faculty supply the services of
research, editing and peer review for publishers; then Universities are
forced to buy back the information with restrictive licenses and
limited periods of access, forfeiting fair use and author's rights.
However, faculty are in a position to change this by exerting control
over the process of scholarly communication in regards to conducting
research, editing results, and peer review while creating new
distribution models and retaining their intellectual property rights.
Provost Tanner's talk will be followed by a panel which will feature:
• Daniel
Bernstein, Associate Professor of Math, Statistics and Computer
Science
• Mark
Mattaini, Associate Professor of Social Work
• Bradford
Schwartz, Professor of Biochemistry and Medicine; Regional Dean,
University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign
The Nakata Lecture is given annually in honor of Yuri Nakata. Mrs.
Nakata completed a distinguished career as documents librarian at UIC
in 1979.
This event is co-sponsored by the University Library Lectures and
Forums Committee and the UIC Faculty Senate Library Sub-Committee. For
further details, call 6-2716 or e-mail jessicac@uic.edu.
