4. What I really do Read a lot of reports and articles Interpret what I’ve read and seen Send (a lot of) emails to library staff Talk to campus faculty and administrators about what I do and what I read Make sure these new ideas are infused into library policies

5. Why do I (we) need to do this? Publishing models are changing. Copyright law and perceptions of ownership are changing as everyone can access, modify and share information online. Many university faculty members don’t realize how changes may affect their research and publishing. The Libraries’ policies and collections planning may need adjustment, refinement, or review.

Growth of Semantic Web (Web 3.0)

19. What’s on the horizon? Binghamton University Libraries Develop policies and priorities to create a digital repository for university students, faculty, and staff. Determine materials to include in a repository. Assist faculty with managing their research output and complying with reporting requirements from funding agencies. Assist faculty with negotiating publication rights for materials.
