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.

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.

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 .
