Fogler Library workshop to examine online scholarly impact
In the academic world of “publish or perish,” researchers constantly are asked to create scholarly materials. But, how do we measure these deliverables in an increasingly digital landscape? Does scholarly impact reach beyond the citation alone?
University of Maine librarians Marisa Méndez-Brady and Jen Bonnet will examine these questions and discuss how research is perceived online at the May 10 workshop, “Altmetrics: Scholarly Impact on the Social Web.”
The workshop will be held from 10–11 a.m. in the Library Classroom at Fogler. To RSVP, email Bonnet at jenbonnet@maine.edu. Space is limited.
