Today's networked digital technology offers us seemingly endless possibilities for extending and enhancing
the scholarly communications process. New distribution channels, new supply chain principles, and new economic models are causing publishers, librarians and other providers
to rethink the old ways of connecting with information consumers. The expectations of our users and the tools they employ to do their work are evolving daily. This vitality
in the user space requires that we costantly refresh the ways we inform, collaborate and interact with our scholarly colleagues.
The tenth annual Fiesole Retreat will look at these emerging models and provide a forum for discussion of what's new on the horizon. Together we will take a look into
the future with some of our industry's visionary leaders.

Optional Preconference: Breaking the Chain and Back Again
Keynote Speaker: Mark Carden, Senior Vice President and General Manager EMEA for Ingram Digital Group
What impact have the emerging models and structural changes in the digital content supply chain had on users
of the "network" as well as on those who supply content to them? What new opportunities exist for
information discovery, acquisition and use? What are the challenges in organization and control? Who's delivering
what and how? Where do you go for help? This workshop looks to address these questions and more in a lively, rapid
fire run through of the multiple channels and distribution points that now exist "network-wide".

use of the network in the processes of scholarly communication. The first part of the session will hear

will be followed by a discussion of ongoing research in how online media are changing the way
scholarly information is constructed and understood.

Open Access
The network is what has made possibile the Open Access initiative in scholarly communication. Yet there is an ongoing tension between the
network-facilitated ability to provide free and uncontrolled access to information versus the costs of insuring that the information is of sufficient
quality and can be authenticated, accessed and maintained in perpetuity. This session brings in a variety of international perspectives on Open Access
from scholars, librarians, and publishers. The discussion addresses the history of the movement and includes research on what effects to date have
been on both producers and consumers. Both the practical ans policy considerations of the Open Access initiative will be touched upon.

Delivery of Information to Users "On the Network"
The final session will circle back to some of the themes of the pre-conference and cover new distribution channels for scholarly communications
made possible by network technology. The new paradigm for information sharing among scholars is no longer just books and articles; it is sharing services
and allowing collaboration among interested parties and contributors directly from other users. This session will be both a practical and philosophical look at
how the industry is coming up with ways to use Web 2.0-friendly methods provide information to users via the tools they are using now and will want to use in
the future.
