December 11th, Toronto

This year Scholars Portal Day centered around a discussion of two evolving areas of library support - research data management and scholarly communication - and the roles that libraries and consortia can play there.

The morning sessions, including a keynote from Chuck Humphrey of the Portage Network,  an update on Scholars Portal services, and lightning talks from around the province, were livestreamed and recorded (see links below). The afternoon included group discussions on topics inspired by two white papers recently released by Scholars Portal. Notes from these sessions can be found below.
