Libraries are affected by advancements occurring within the information technology, information security, scholarly publishing, and library discovery service industries.

Topics covered include LibKey API, GetFTR, Elsevier, Yewno, EBSCO Concept Maps, KBART Automation, EBSCO Auto-Population in Holdings Management, the death of IP authentication, cloud application security and ransomware protection software, and browser vendors increasing user privacy.
