SLA 2012 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO

Even with the addition of social spaces to many libraries, research collaboration is most often happening outside of our four walls, especially in the fields of science and technology.  Whether seeking the comfort of their own home or working with worldwide contributors, researchers have taken their work to the cloud using environments like Mendeley to find, reference, and site work and then share it will contributors, colleagues, and peers with shared interests around the globe. Further, they seek focused, second-generation search services to find the material they need anytime, anywhere and from any device. So what can you do to put the library back in the driver's seat? Learn from the experience of Texas Medical Center, the world’s largest medical complex. Join this session to develop a plan to effectively reestablish your library's connection to your top researchers and gain valuable information for your institution.
