Colleagues/ I have been invited to give an invited keynote at the University of Limerick, Ireland, in early June 2009 at a symposium focused on 'New Paradigms in Scholarly Research'. I have chosen to address this theme with a presentation titled Research and Scholarship In The 21st Century: The Paradigms They Are A'Changin > Open / Semantic / Social / Mobile I plan to focus on the four broad themes of 1) Open, 2) Semantic, 3) Social, and 4) Mobile. Under each I plan to profile significant developments that relate to each, namely __Open__ Open Access / Open Science / Open Source / Open standards / Etc. __Semantic__ Valued Added Content and Functionality Within Journals / Monographs / Other Publications For Examples See My "E Is for Everything: The Extra-Ordinary, Evolutionary [E-]Journal."
