The Enhancements Committee will present a panel discussion on the lifecycle of enhancement requests. We will briefly touch on how the requests move through the Committee, but the majority focus will be on what happens once enhancements have been greenlit. Discussions will include the various FOLIO Community SIGs and Subgroups, the involvement of product owners and other subject matter experts, and which enhancements go directly to a vendor versus those that move through the development community. Each panel member will share their personal experiences interacting with the FOLIO Community. We will take questions from the audience and introduce an upcoming Open Hours session to serve as a workshop for others to get involved.
AI systems are more robust than ever and are being used daily by many, including those conducting and facilitating research. In this roundtable, the presenters will introduce the current state of AI Involvement in academic publishing, from the peer review process, to GenAI paper mills. We intend for the roundtable to generate conversations about the reality of research in the age of AI and the possible ways to navigate the inevitable while providing rich academic support.
