1) Open 2) Semantic 3) Social 4) Mobile

Colleagues/

I have been invited to give a presentation at the University of Limerick, Ireland, in early June 2009 at a symposium focused on 'New Paradigms in Scholarly Research’.

I have chosen to address this theme with a presentation titled

Research and Scholarship In The 21st Century: The Paradigms They Are A-Changin' > Open / Semantic / Social / Mobile

I plan to focus on the four broad themes of 1) Open, 2) Semantic, 3) Social, and 4) Mobile.

Under each I plan to profile significant developments that relate to each, namely

__Open__
Open Access / Open Science / Open Source / Open Standards / Etc.

__Semantic__
Valued Added Content and Functionality Within Journals / Monographs / Other Publications

For Examples See My

"E Is for Everything: The Extra-Ordinary, Evolutionary [E-]Journal." The Serials Librarian 41, no. 3/4 (2002): 293-321.[http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/SLv41n3-4.pdf] [Last Article]

I would be most grateful to learn of particular/specific examples within each subtopic (within a research/scholarly environment) that you believe is specifically/particularly noteworthy to profile in my presentation.

Thanks A Million !

BTW: If There Are Any Colleagues In Ireland That Would Be Interested In Hosting/Sponsoring A Version of The Presentation, Please Do Contact Me (gerrymck@iastate.edu). In Addition To My Presentation At Limerick (June 9), I Plan To Visit Dublin (June 3-5) And Galway (June 6-7).

If A Formal Presentation Is Not Possible, I'd Love To Discuss The Issues With You Over A Pint Or Two ... [:-)]
