With the growing role of agentic AI in the discovery and delivery of content, we find ourselves in a shift from human to computer readership. In this new environment, how can we embed provenance and attribution into AI systems? Without attribution and citation in outputs, how can we track usage? The session will also explore what is needed from the AI development community and how the content exchange process can support provenance tracking.

Retractions, whatever their cause, have long been a concern in scholarly communications. The adoption and evolution of AI technologies have made this problem even more urgent, driving growth in the number of fraudulent papers. At the same time, misinformation has led many to distrust science. In this session, speakers and participants will explore how to address retractions and removals, as well as how systems are developing to signal to users that an article or piece of research has met certain criteria and may be trusted.

With the implementation of AI tools to support writing and editorial processes well underway, the need for policies around transparency and disclosure of AI use has grown. In response, many institutions have developed AI policies for students, researchers, and staff, while publishers are increasingly demanding disclosure of AI usage. What goes into an ethical, transparent disclosure policy? What approaches are being used to enforce such policies? After implementation are there ways we can measure their success? Society publishers, librarians, and technology providers will share their experiences and explore where advances need to be made.

Federated identity, which can provide a privacy-protecting method to accessing scholarly information, has been long available for libraries from most publishers, yet adoption across the community has been slow. What’s holding us back, and how can we move forward? Participants will be invited to share their experiences and how a pilot project to simplify the process could chart a path forward.

Agentic AI offers new opportunities for publishers licensing content and for researchers engaged in text or data mining across a collection or corpus. Access to that content, however, also poses challenges for publishers and platforms who want to allow access to those entitled to it, whether through a subscription or license, while keeping out unwanted agents. Agentic AI also complicates how we measure the value and impact of scholarly content. What is the best approach to managing AI access to content? And how should we take AI activity into account when measuring usage?

The Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Infrastructure Project (CCLIP) Recommended Practice was published this spring. After several years of working to document and offer guidance on how to effectively collaborate, we must now move on to implementation. Building upon the Recommended Practice, several projects are working to build tools and models for inter-library collaboration. Join us to learn more about the CCLIP and to explore how a collaborative approach to collections management can make libraries more efficient and effective .
