The following is a transcript of a live presentation at the 2015 Charleston Library Conference. Leila Salisbury: Good morning. I am thrilled to see all of you here this morning. We're very fortunate to be joined by some very sharp thinkers from publishing on funding and librarianship who are going to talk with us about how scholarship can be curated and interpreted and used better by our patrons. First thing this morning we're going to hear about two Mellon-funded projects designed to break new ground discovered only in the linking of humanities texts and to create iterative editions of scholarly that will work alongside scholarship itself. Talking about these two programs will be Susan Doerr, who is the operations manager at the University of Minnesota Press and co-principal investigator for the Manifold Scholarship Project, and Ellen Faran, who is the director emerita of the MIT press and is the project manager for the UPScope project. Then we'll hear from Helen Cullyer, program officer in the scholarly communications division of the Mellon Foundation who is helping fund these two projects and many others, and she's going to talk with us a little bit more broadly about Mellon's work and interest in this area. Then we're going to hear from Angela Careno, head of collection development for the division of libraries at NYU, and Tyler Walters, who is dean of university libraries and professor at Virginia Tech. So we'll hear from all ends, and I'm just going to turn it over to the panel and listen and leave little time for questions this morning.

It's really good that you're all here to hear a quirky piece I feel will solve our issues in scholarly communications over the next hour, so congratulations for coming here. You'll find this very edifying.
