[...] Getting Ahead in the Digital World - Faculty are being encouraged to employ digital technology in the classroom, develop digitally-based distance learning courses, submit manuscripts to electronic journals, and mentor graduate students and junior faculty during this time of incredible transition. [...] This panel will address the issues and challenges that are presented by distance learning, including the expectations for faculty, ownership of the courses developed, quality of the learning experience, academic freedom, library support of distance learners, and potential roles for societies and presses. [...] What Does it Mean to Publish? - The ability of authors to post their own work on their own websites and the introduction of electronic dissertations have created intense discussions of what it means to "publish" in the digital era. [...] Economics of Scholarly Communication - There is a disjunction between the sociology and economics of scholarly publishing, primarily in the sciences, that has affected the access to scholarship in all disciplines.
