About the book discussion

Scholarly communication has the potential to drive equitable access, democratise knowledge, and enable more inclusive participation in global knowledge systems. Yet LIS education is being outpaced by rapid developments in professional practice — creating an urgent need to reimagine curricula and bridge the gap between theory and practice. This webinar invites the LIS community to engage with the book's ideas through a regional panel discussion and audience Q&A, exploring how centering scholarly communication in LIS education can contribute to advancing social justice.
