Please excuse cross-posting.



“Here There Be Dragons: Public Access to Federally Funded Research,” a 
Midwinter Symposium co-presented by the Association for Library 
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) and bepress Digital Commons 
offers an unique opportunity to explore the complex issues surrounding 
the collection, organization, delivery and preservation of federally 
funded research. Join your colleagues from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on 
Friday, Jan. 24, 2014 at the American Library Association (ALA) 
Midwinter in Philadelphia.



In February 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology 
Policy issued a memorandum directing Federal agencies to expand public 
access to the results of taxpayer-funded research. Several means of 
addressing this mandate, including SHARE (offered by the ARL, AAU, and 
APLU) and CHORUS (offered by the AAP), have been proposed. This 
symposium will explore the complex issues surrounding the collection, 
organization, delivery, and preservation of federally funded research.
