We invite all those interested in Library and Information Services in Astronomy (LISA) to mark their calendars to attend LISA 10 in Santiago de Chile. LISA 10, Research Equity and Access in the Age of AI, will take place the week of Mon, 03 Nov – Fri, 07 Nov 2025 and will provide participants the opportunity to engage with fellow librarians, archivists, data specialists, bibliographers, publishers, documentalists, experts on evolving technologies, and scientists. The LISA conference series aims to provide a platform to discuss the state-of-the-art for information maintenance, retrieval, metrics, preservation, scholarly publishing, and information systems.
The conference will be held in-person at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) premises in Santiago, Chile, with remote participation available via MS Teams. Registration and abstract submission will open in April.
Remote participants are equally encouraged to submit their abstracts for consideration. Both presentations and digital posters are welcome and will be organized around the following themes:
• Using AI/ML/LLMs Responsibly Topics on current or potential application of AI/LLMs/ML at your institution or in your information service community, including opportunities and challenges
• Research Equity, Inclusiveness & Access Ensuring equity with perspectives from around the globe
• Stewarding Astronomical Knowledge Best practices in traditional and data archives, documentation, and knowledge transfer and representation
• Assessing the Impact of Research Sharing insights into tools, platforms, documentation and the ?why? of bibliometrics. Presentations on researcher/staff, institutional, and observatory metrics are encouraged
• The Future of Multidisciplinary Research Current and future expansion of science disciplines and SciX; changes to where and how astronomy gets published; diversity of research communities and media beyond the traditional journal article
• Enabling Open Science Topics on data curation, data management and open software; ensuring reproducibility and access to others
• Navigating Open Access How changes in publishing models are impacting libraries and their customers; publishing challenges at your institution; topics on affordability and credibility of journals
