Event Description
Join Drexel University Libraries for Nobody Cites Your Work: Copyright, Licensing & Public Engagement, a talk by Mathias Klang. The talk will look at the current model for the production, distribution and consumption of academic knowledge. The flaws within this system have been well defined and the need to address them remains pressing. Klang’s presentation will take its standpoint from the individual academic and look to some solutions that can be employed to increase citations, shorten class prep time and generally become a more publicly engaged academic.
Mathias Klang is an associate professor at the Swedish School of Library Science and an associate professor in the Department of Applied IT at the University of Göesborg [Sweden]. He received his PhD in Informatics from the University of Göesborg. In 2013, Klang moved to Philadelphia and began working on research projects, writing a book and working as a researcher at Commons Machinery. He also maintains a website and is active on Twitter @Klangable.
