Views on the DASER-2 Summit, Dec. 2-4, 2005

Building on the success of the first DASER Summit, DASER-2 examined new issues and challenges related to digital archives and Science-Technology-Medicine (STM) publishing. The conference explored issues surrounding digital libraries, institutional repositories and open access publishing. such as:

  • Impact of OA on the future of STM libraries;
  • Institutional repository models: what works and what doesn't;
  • Publisher-library collaboration strategies, now and in the near future;
  • Institutional repository object issues--theses, datasets, learning objects, etc.;
  • User needs and patterns related to digital libraries.
