DESCRIPTION:*How is Web 2.0 – and now Web Squared – changing scholarly
  publishing?*\n\nThere are dramatic changes underway in the world of publi
 shing\, which have profound implications for scholarly activity. These cha
 nges are in essence quantitative (more\, faster\, cheaper) rather than fun
 damental ones of type\, but the quantitative shift on this scale is in its
 elf qualitative and transformatory.  The proliferation of information and 
 information sources make the assessment of quality and importance ever mor
 e important\, and to more people.  New forms of scholarly publishing have 
 emerged\, and are developing rapidly\, including academics’ use of socia
 l networks and blogs\, the Open Access movement\, and Open Educational Res
 ources (OER).\n\nIn this seminar\, Doug Clow will explore these issues\, a
 nd sketch out an organising vision of this rapidly-changing landscape\, di
 scussing the implications for authors\,  reviewers\, editors\, publishers\
 , librarians\, funders\, readers\, and all those with an interest in what 
 scholars do.\n\n*About the speaker*\n\nDr Doug Clow is a Lecturer in Inter
 active Media Development at the Institute of Educational Technology at The
