| | Social distancing. Flattening the curve. Novel coronavirus. We’re all learning new terms as we quickly react, respond and adapt to the global pandemic. That’s why immediate access to research findings and reliable news sources is critical. In an effort to contribute to the common good, leading scientific news, trade, education and business publishers are each offering open to read access to a deep pool of content on topics related to the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease pandemic. Copyright Clearance Center is amplifying publishers' efforts, and has assembled a multidisciplinary resource center that brings many sources together in one place. |
| | Many businesses are now dealing with the postponement and cancellation of in-person events where we’re accustomed to connecting with peers and industry experts. With the cancellation of the London Book Fair, CCC has pivoted to bring our originally scheduled content to you as digital programming. Listen to CCC's podcast series, Beyond the Book, as we share: | • | Transformative agreements and sustainable open access | • | The changing relationship of publishers and researchers | • | Metadata, data mining, and the directive on copyright in the EU digital single market |
| CCC is proud to be a premium partner of the London Book Fair and we look forward to seeing friends and colleagues in the future. |
| | CCC is pleased to sponsor an upcoming ALPSP webinar, "The Metadata Power Hour," on 21 April at 11:00-12:30 EDT, 16:00-17:30 BST, and 17:00-18:30 CEST. Here is the invitation from ALPSP: Join the panel of experts to understand the challenges and opportunities for everyone involved in or affected by scholarly metadata (so, pretty much everyone). With real-life use cases and a little humour, together we will cover topics like: | • | What are PIDs and will we ever see an end to new ones? | • | How on earth do I know what’s in my metadata? Or yours? | • | Who’s using all of this metadata anyway and for what exactly? | • | Why should I care about it? |
| This webinar is for everyone involved in or affected by scholarly metadata including authors, editors, librarians, service providers and more. Registrants will receive a recording of the session. Register here. |
| | Recently CCC spoke with Publishing Perspectives’ editor-in-chief Porter Anderson on how leading publishers across the scholarly publishing ecosystem have enlisted in this volunteer army of knowledge sharing. “What’s playing out here is another example of the international book business engaging in responses to the mushrooming coronavirus emergency,” said Anderson. Listen here to the interview. |
