The University Press of Mississippi will be holding a roundtable discussion about new media Tuesday, Nov. 11, on the Jackson State University campus.
To be held 10-11:30 a.m. in Room 417 of the Dollye Robinson Liberal Arts Building, the discussion will focus on the impact of electronic textbooks, e-books, and online reference sources on teaching, learning, and research.
According to Dr. Jean Chamberlain, associate professor of English, “JSU faculty and administrators, joined by the University Press of Mississippi staff, will lead an open discussion of the impact of electronic scholarship on our campus communities. The group will examine how these resources are changing the classroom, altering published scholarship, and remaking the ways in which libraries access materials and curate the scholarly record.”
University Press editors and marketing staff will lead the discussion, and the editors will be available after the session to meet individually with scholars who wish to discuss their book projects, Chamberlain said.
