LISA X

Library and Information Services in Astronomy

November 10-14, 2025

Library and Information Services in Astronomy (LISA) is a series of scientific meetings for librarians, traditional archivists, data specialists, bibliographers, archive scientists, publishers, documentalists, and scientists that aims to provide a platform to discuss the state of the art for information maintenance, retrieval, metrics, preservation, and information systems such as ADS/SciX, Zenodo, ORCID, and DataCite. Topics such as open access publishing, e.g., PlanS and S2O; open science; machine learning applications in relation to the literature; and how artificial intelligence is influencing our profession are expected to feature prominently at LISA X.

Due to their geographic distance and the nature of a small but global community, astronomy librarians do not enjoy other conferences that are so focused on their specific challenges, ideas and best practices. Therefore, LISA is the first and foremost meeting for our profession and enjoys high visibility and recognition. LISA conferences started in 1988. Since LISA II, they have been held every 3-4 years. The most recent meeting (LISA IX) was hosted by the RAS, London and took place online in June 2021.

The workshop will be held in person at the ESO premises in Santiago, Chile, with remote participation available via MS Teams.
