 on inscholarly publishing. The innovations we've been expecting for years 
 areslowly being adopted\, but we can also expect the pace of change toacce
 lerate in the coming 3 to 5 years. At the same time\, many of ritualsand a
 rtifacts of the scholarly communication lifecycle are still rooted ina cen
 turies-old model.  What are the primary goals of scholarlycommunication\,
  and what will be the future role of librarians in thatcycle?  What are t
 he obstacles in information flow (many of our owndesign) that can be remov
 ed?Is the library profession moving fast enough to stay ahead of the curve
 ...or are we ever going to be struggling to keep up? With the advent of th
 edata deluge\, all-XML workflows\, the semantic Web\, cloud servicesand in
 creasingly intelligent mobile devices - what are the implicationsfor libra
 ries\, archivists\, publishers\, scholarly societies as well asindividual
