Who Gets Discovered by AI? Libraries, Scholarship, and the New Research Journey

What happens to scholarly discovery when AI becomes the starting point for research?

Generative AI is changing how researchers find, evaluate, and engage with scholarly information, raising important questions about what gets surfaced, cited, trusted, and ultimately seen. For libraries and publishers, this shift has significant implications for discoverability, attribution, authority, and access.

Join EBSCO’s Christopher Spalding for a forward-looking examination of AI-first discovery and what it means for the future of the research journey.
