EaZy Days is a distinguished event designed to share updates on the electronic resources of the publishers we represent, while fostering reciprocal information exchange with university libraries. It aims to collaboratively shape the future of electronic publishing. Organized by EaZy Solutions, this event seeks to strengthen communication channels between publishers and academic libraries, enhance areas of cooperation based on mutual needs, and promote the enrichment of electronic publishing policies through constructive dialogue.
Hosted by Dicle University and coordinated by EaZy Solutions, EaZy Day 2025 — which will take place under the theme “From E-Resources to Intellectual Value: AI-Transformed Content” — will be held on September 12, 2025, in Diyarbakır. This exclusive forum brings together university libraries and the academic publishing sector, fostering strategic engagement.
The program facilitates in-depth discussion and knowledge exchange on AI-enabled content creation, the evolution of digital information resources, and the pivotal role of university libraries in this transformative process. Esteemed representatives from regional universities and leading publishing houses will convene to reinforce academic communication, disseminate best practices, and explore collaborative opportunities.
