#BLA26 provided Alice Cann of Brunel University and her developing skillset with EBSCO. An example of a professional showing how they keep learning to be a valuable asset for lecturers and students.
#BLA26 featured a lovely presentation about the University of Portsmouth Library's use of H5P software for online interactions with students.
#BLA26 was a good platform for Statista to speak about how they are also integrating AI into their product offerings. A flexible service which can be embedded into Copilot and other AI tools.
#BLA26 featured a powerful presentation from Coventry University about their almost complete switch to Open Educational Research. An obvious impact on finance but also a new way of allowing students and lecturers to compile content.
#bla26 wrapped academic content with presentations by EBSCO and Clarivate about their new or forthcoming products, both which feature the use of AI for finding their material.
