Information Futures Forum
To stimulate a broad-ranging conversation about our scholarly information environment, several distinguished experts will participate in a series of Information Futures Forums during 2008.
The forums are open to staff and interested students of the University. Each forum will provide a snapshot of current issues, trends and developments in scholarly information and technologies. Ideas and themes will be further developed via a range of consultation activities, and addressed in the final report of the Commission.
