The SOAP Project (*) is currently conducting an online survey to assess researchers experiences with open access publishing. This survey aims to inform the most comprehensive analysis of attitudes to open access publishing to date and is seeking views from a wide a range of interested parties. It is primarily aimed at active researchers in public and private organizations, from all fields of the research in the sciences and humanities and focuses on publication of research articles in (open access) peer-reviewed journals. If you would like to contribute to shaping the public discourse on open access, please visit http://surveymonkey.com/soap_survey_g It should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Please share this news with your research collaborators, so that the views from your community will be properly represented. The survey outcome will be made public and openly shared with the publishers, research funding agencies and European Commission, libraries and researchers. Thanks in advance, the SOAP Project Team (*) Note: The SOAP consortium is funded by the European Commission and coordinated by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. It represents key stakeholders in open access, such as publishers BioMed Central, SAGE and Springer; funding agencies (the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council) and libraries (the Max Planck Digital Library of the Max Planck Society). The project runs for two years, from March 2009 to February 2011.

Ten top academic Library trends

by KALAMOS BOOKS

6/17/10, Top Trends in Academic Libraries. ACRL's Research Planning and Review committee developed a list of the top ten trends that are affecting academic libraries now and in the near future. This list was compiled based on an extensive review of current literature. The trends are listed in alphabetical order. - Academic library collection growth is driven by patron demand and will include new resource types. - Budget challenges will continue and libraries will evolve as a result. - Changes in higher education will require that librarians possess diverse skill sets. - Demands for accountability and assessment will increase. - Digitization of unique library collections will increase and require a larger share of resources. - Explosive growth of mobile devices and applications will drive new services. - Increased collaboration will expand the role of the library within the institution and beyond. - Libraries will continue to lead efforts to develop scholarly communication and intellectual property services. - Technology will continue to change services and required skills. - The definition of the library will change as physical space is repurposed and virtual space expands. A virtual session will be held on July 7 as a part of the ALA Annual Virtual Conference to allow for a more in-depth discussion of this report.

The Gennadius Library is holding a group art exhibition<http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/gennadius/eventDetails/johannes-gennadius…>featuring commissioned works by 65 local artists who were inspired by the personality and the world of the founder of the Library, Johannes Gennadius (1844-1932). The works will be on display inside the Library and in the surrounding gardens, until June 26. The artworks are for sale and part of the proceeds will benefit the Library. Born in Athens, in 1844, to George Gennadius, Johannes Gennadius was an eminent diplomat and scholar, who donated his personal library<http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B02E0DA1739EF3ABC4C51DFB266…>, containing approximately 30,000 rare volumes to the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.
