Dr. Masood Raja, Associate Professor of English, will speak about responding to his colleagues' skepticism about open access and how to tell that your open access scholarship is reaching a greater audience than non-OA publications.

FIPNet and the Transformation of the GPO

The universe of Federal Government information today spans a multitude of formats from the earliest days of our republic, throughout the heyday decades of ink-on-paper, to the past twenty years of increased digital only dissemination. Throughout the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s 154-year history, the agency has transformed itself with each advance in publishing, while staying true to its mission of Keeping America Informed. This presentation will discuss recent changes at GPO to improve the discovery of, access to and preservation of official Federal Government information.
