CS Roundtable Final Agenda

Here’s the final agenda for the Computer Science Roundtable at the SLA Annual Conference in Toronto. It’s Monday June 6 from 11:30am to 1:00pm.

  1. Introductions
  2. IEEE Announcement
  3. The incredible shrinking Computer Science Department: the effect of declining enrollments on collections and services
  4. Information Literacy Instruction for Computer Science students: is it needed, how to convince faculty and students of its value
  5. Open Access, Google and CS scholars’ information seeking behavior
  6. Safari and other technology ebook packages
  7. Lecture Notes in CS: print or online only?

I would be very grateful if someone could volunteer to help me take notes. You can contact me at jdupuis at yorku.ca.
