*ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE*

The demands for awareness of and responsiveness to the academic user
experience (UX) are increasingly important for all players in the scholarly
communications industry. What began as a software development methodology
has proven to be a critical function in our ability to deliver high-quality
scholarly resources to a global readership. In this virtual conference, we
will feature a range of perspectives on how publishers, libraries and
technology suppliers achieve an understanding of reader needs and
perspectives, in order to drive iterative improvements in the way users
interact with the content we host, publish, and license.
