Abstract
Open scholarship is becoming embedded in librarianship and contributes greatly to improving access to knowledge, but perhaps it’s worthwhile reminding ourselves why there’s a need for “open” in the first place. This talk will look at trends and developments – such as Digital Rights Management and Generative AI – that pose a possible threat to how libraries provide access to knowledge and how moving to fairer access models may mitigate these threats.
