Re: [LIS-Forum] Sci-Hub

As far as I could understand, the author questions about availability of a similar platform like Netflix for academia where all the journal content providers put their content and let individuals subscribe and access the content. Netflix and other platforms came into existence due to the failure of earlier business model(outdated) of content distribution that was highly challenged by piracy. Also the consumers wanted to pay for only the content they really use. The author is inquisitive of, why academic content providers can't build such platforms and are still stuck to old business model of dissemination?

It is organized by the Department of Information Management of Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey. The main theme of the Symposium is “Post-truth and Information Management”. The Oxford Dictionary’s selection of the term “Post-truth” as the word of the year in 2016 puts forward the need of questioning the accuracy of the information. Post-truth is defined as “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief” and can be effective in information dissemination processes, information seeking behaviors of individuals, production and use of information. Information management discipline has a very important function in terms of raising awareness of individuals for distinguishing the fake information and facts. For this reason, it is extremely important that the concept of “Post-truth” and its influences be discussed within the framework of the Information Management discipline and by its professionals. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also welcome. Contributions are not limited with the main theme: all types of papers, posters and presentations on information management in general are also welcome. The audience will be information professionals, data librarians, data curators, data managers, knowledge managers, researchers, information scientists, data scientists and computer engineers, among others. We accept extended abstracts (no less than 750 words) for full papers; short communications, Research in Progress reports, and posters on all aspects of Post-truth and also information management. Extended abstracts for student papers and posters are also welcome. Extended abstracts of PhD students to present the interim findings of their ongoing research will also be considered. Please use the template available on the Symposium web site soon to prepare your contributions and send them to us using the Conference Management Software (openconf) by 15 December, 2017. We also encourage session proposals. The coordinator of a special session will be responsible for the selection of papers (4-6 papers) and will chair the session. For session coordinators, registration fee will be waived. Accepted extended abstracts and proposals will appear in the “Book of Abstracts” to be published prior to the Symposium.
