67 Bricks’ co-founder Sam Herbert delivered the plenary presentation at the OpenAthens Access Lab 2020 conference, helping librarians and publishers explore how they can modernise the outputs of the scholarly research ecosystem so it is fit for the digital age.

Sam’s presentation From raw content assets to personalised digital products was well received by an audience of over 150 scholarly information professionals and can be viewed online.

Sam said:  “Librarians, as well as publishers, are important stakeholders in many of our projects. There is a lot of discussion at the moment around how prepared they are to navigate the new technologies that are transforming how we consume information.  Users want the same thing from libraries but delivered differently.  What will the libraries and publishers of the future look like?”

Nick Poole, CEO of CILIP, Alvet Miranda, Senior Manager,  EBSCO and Elin Svensson Goodwin, Product Manager of British Medical Journal were among the other speakers.  Their presentations are also available here.
