The panelists will describe their approaches to EDISJ, presenting cases, key challenges they encountered, success stories and ideas for how each can help foster a more inclusive organization.

Preprints, Postprints, ePrints: The Case for Engineering Information Panel | 3:30 PM – 5 PM
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how critical access to timely scientific information is and how public engagement has demanded reliance on such sources documenting the latest research findings at an unprecedented scale. The relationships between preprint authors and traditional commercial and society publishers have changed as a result of the pandemic. This caused publishing workflows to aggressively compete for acquiring future submissions from preprint authors with new publishing conditions and greater intensity. Preprint servers demonstrate far higher use (biorxiv reports 15x more) than from pre-COVID times, especially for content related to researching the virus and supporting patients and the understanding of their longtime medical, social and technical needs.
Moderated: Ms. Julia M. Gelfand
Tech Moderator: Aleshia A Huber

Call for Lightning Talks
Do you or your library/organization have an exciting new project, program, partnership, or tool that you would like to share with your fellow ELD members? If so, please consider proposing a Lightning Talk for the 2021 ASEE Virtual Conference in July. The Lightning Talk session will be on Monday, July 26th, 1:15-4:30pm (PDT)
What is a Lightning Talk? A Lightning Talk is a very short presentation on a timely topic of interest to the audience. This year, we are hoping for a variety of talks on any number of subjects, including, but not limited to:
• Digital initiatives
• New partnerships
• Innovative programs and services
• Or anything you think might be of interest to your peers
There are two types of Lightning Talks: Member Lightning Talks and Sponsor Lightning Talks. Member Talks are 2-3 minutes and Sponsor Lightning Talks are 1 minute, 1 slide. The main goals of this session are to learn about what our colleagues and sponsors are doing, and to generate discussions during the session and over the course of the conference. A separate call will go out to ELD’s sponsors over the next day or two to make sure that all ELD sponsors are aware of this opportunity.
All proposals are due by Friday, May 21st.
If you have questions, please contact:
• Member Lightning Talks: Sylvia Jones (sylviagw@smu.edu)
• Sponsor Lightning Talks: Mel DeSart (desart@uw.edu)
Once your proposal has been accepted, you will be asked to submit a short recorded video presentation of your talk. All of the presentations for each category of lightning talk will be edited together prior to the conference presentation. This will help with possible technical issues of having to manage many presentations within a short time. The submission deadline for recorded talks will be roughly a week prior to the date of the session, so there will plenty of time for you to work on your talk after you find out whether it is accepted.
All presenters are required to be registered for the ASEE conference and to be present at the session to answer questions during the Q&A. Remember that the time you have to present your talk is shorter than most TV commercial breaks!
Submit your proposal at: https://forms.gle/HEqaW5fqR6XfyCML6
