HE ACADEMIC AND profes- sional space remains the sector where digital is
having its most profound effect. In that lies opportunit and challenges: technology has the abilit to be transformative, but how publishers go about using it must be thought-through comprehensively, from the back-end workflow, to how staff
and authors use it and what the user experience is like. This seminar will bring
together a number of industry heavyweights to share how they have used digital to augment their content, including Blooms- bury m.d. of digital resources Kathryn Earle, SAGE edito- rial director Kiren Shoman and Dr Junaid Mubeen, director of education at Whizz Education.
