Intrigued by the growing popularity of emerging scholarly communication channels such as Researchgate.com, Academia.edu, Social Science Research Network and Mendeley, Falvey Library is planning a brown bag panel discussion on the Perils and Promise of Scholarly Social Networks. Interested faculty will be invited to attend on Wednesday, March 16th, 12 – 1:30, room 204. We are hoping to exchange ideas about why researchers use these scholarly social networks, which ones are preferable, what features and attributes are beneficial or unfavorable, and perhaps even broach some of their more controversial aspects. A librarian will preface the discussion with a very a brief presentation on the origins of academic social networking sites and the collaborative tools they offer. Brown bag lunch, beverages and cookies provided.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Paul McCartney became Sir Paul McCartney on this day in 1997. Queen Elizabeth II knighted McCartney at Buckingham Palace in Central London. The reason for his knighthood? His service to music, of course! Even non-fans of The Beatles have to admit the huge influence they’ve had on rock and modern music. You can check out Paul McCartney: From Liverpool to Let it Be from our stacks today.

“I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn’t weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.”
– Sir Paul McCartney
