Institutions of higher education globally are facing unprecedented challenges as COVID-19 continues to present risks and uncertainties that threaten their budgets, their student enrollment, and their research programs. But it’s also a time of opportunity, driving increased adoption of educational technology and infrastructure, and making open educational resources, online learning, and deepened digital engagement the norm. How is this impacting long-term strategic planning for libraries, publishers, and service providers? Our next virtual conference, Changes in Higher Education and the Information Marketplace, brings together a group of key decision-makers to discuss the "new normal" and consider the long-term implications for all stakeholder groups.
Speakers:
Linda Jones, Western New England University: There is Hope — A View from the Provost’s Office
Dean O. Smith, University of Hawaii: Changes in Higher Education and the Information Marketplace Financial Pressures in Higher Education
Dennis Clark, University of Arkansas: This Changes Everything: Pandemic Response, Libraries, and Defining a New Normal
Amy Pawlowski, Ohiolink: COVID-19: What it means for OhioLINK, its Members’ Library Budgets, and E-resources in Higher Education
Ralph Youngen, American Chemical Society: Secure Remote Access to Scholarly Resources
Roger Schonfeld, ITHAKA: Strategies for the Information Community
