George Plosker: scitopia.org - Collaboration For More Successful Science And Technology Research (VIDEO)

At last year's national meeting of the Special Libraries Association, 15 of the world's leading science and technology societies announced the release of scitopia.org, a free web-based federated discovery tool that allows one-stop searching of their collected archives. The stated goal of the 15 societies, "increasing the efficiency and richness of science and technology research," will be discussed. This presentation will also include the development, content, technology and future plans of scitopia.org as well as its reception by the library community. A captioned version is available on the SLIS Website.
