The Astronomy Roundtable this year will be focused on new and innovative services in astronomy covering trends in professional development, data and software services and altmetrics. We will be joined by Kelle Cruz of AstroBetter who will facilitate a conversation on important topics such as how the astronomy community is embracing new forms of scholarly contributions and engaging on various media platforms. Kelle’s discussion will be supplemented with talks by Alberto Accomazzi (ADS) and Jane Holmquist (ORCID) who will speak about their efforts in improving data, software and altmetrics services. Though this material will be directly relevant to librarians in the sciences, we hope that any librarians interested in new data-centric services will attend. We hope to foster sharing and collaboration between the different services presented and with the greater SLA community, and invite general discussion and updates from attendees.
