About the session

While current tech news is dominated by the advent of Chat GPT, and AI’s many implications (both known and unknown), there are other emergent trends the scholarly publishing industry would do well to note – believe it or not! This session will be a sampler of three topics, presented by three speakers with unique perspectives on each: 1) changing reader consumption habits, namely the shift from .pdf to full-text and its causes, implications, and opportunities; 2) evolving dynamics around access controls and credentials; and 3) why curated content and sophisticated search are more important than ever.
