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.
