*About the Webinar*

For an industry that just celebrated its 350th anniversary, scholarly
communications is in the midst of a period of disruption. Start-ups are
joining long-established companies in fostering a culture of innovation and
iteration in this once-staid community. New applications, tools, and even
fresh content forms are being tested and adopted by researchers and library
patrons. Understanding the drivers of this change and its broader effects
will be vital to planning near- and long-term technology and training
investments and staffing needs.

This session will explore the organizational and cultural characteristics
that support innovation from the perspective of both new and traditional
organizations. It will also examine the impact start-up culture has already
had on scholarly communications and what we can still expect from this
innovative explosion.
