SUMMARY:Bridging the divide between the media and research: building trust in better communication webinar
DESCRIPTION:Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level\, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism. Join us for this online seminar. \n\n\n\nRegister for this recording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nPlease scroll down for further details of the programme.  \n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nSocietal and media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of Covid-19 and Climate Change\, among other topics. How research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders and publishers.The relationship between journalists and researchers is an important one\, but they are not the only stakeholders invested in this process. How research is communicated varies in quality and scale from international to local coverage. The quality of research-related news also varies in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced\, click-bait churnalism. Join us to hear from experts as to how research is being shared and what can be done to improve that process. \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and there are benefits for attendees in gaining a greater understanding of how each part of this communication cycle works and how they can collaborate better. \n\n\n\nLibrarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual and timely information\, yet that can be undermined by missing out key components that can underpin a news story\, such as a research article or funder link. Academics looking to capture pathways to impact miss out on evidence if there is no audit trail relating to the coverage due to the lack of proper media coverage. \n\n\n\nThe lack of substantial evidence within a news story has the potential to generate fake or poorly reported news\, which can have a damaging impact on the reputation of research. This seminar will highlight good examples of working practice as well as explore what more can be done to improve this ever-changing ecosystem. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, research managers and administrators\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.  \n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nMorning Afternoon\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction & welcome \n\n\n\nAll times stated are GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

Having spent 12 years as a software engineer and have been into cybersecurity for just as long\, Dan specialises in secure coding practices\, vulnerability management\, software supply chains\, cryptography\, quantum computing\, AI\, and security architecture. In his spare time Dan likes to keep fit and is looking forward to raising funds for Refuge UK by running the 2025 Brighton Marathon and 2025 London Marathon in the same month. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraeme Moss \n\n\n\nUniversity of Leeds \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nGraeme heads up the Cyber Security Architecture\, Consulting and Engineering team at University of Leeds\, delivering security advice & guidance across all University projects.He spends much of his non-work time organising and volunteering at cyber security events such as BSides Community conferences in Leeds\, Lancashire & Newcastle as well as supporting many hacker/cyber/privacy organisations in the north of England such as DefCon & 2600. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.15 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.25 \n\n\n\n\n\nProprietary software has failed: a community-driven open source security proposal \n\n\n\nFollowing a number of high-profile cyber attacks on UK universities\, many libraries are rethinking the prevalent UK approach to library systems: a reliance on proprietary software that has failed to protect their users’ data and a management approach to outsourcing systems that has reduced the numbers and skills of in-house technical staff. In this presentation\, I argue for a new approach to enable libraries to take back control of their systems and their data. Open source software is not only more secure than proprietary software but allows users more control and customisation over how the software works. By working collaboratively\, libraries could establish community-driven multi-tenant library systems installations using open source software to give them more control over their system security\, to protect their users’ lending data\, and to divest themselves of third-party private library systems companies. Using examples from the Copim and the Open Book Futures project infrastructure\, I’ll show how open source software provides a more secure and more ethical alternative to proprietary software. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimon Bowie \n\n\n\nCentre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSimon Bowie is an Open Source Software Developer at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University\, UK\, where he works on the Open Book Futures project helping to build community-owned and scholar-led open infrastructures for open access book publishing with a particular focus on experimental book publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAssessing Cyber Resilience in Nigerian Libraries: An Empirical Study of Security Measures\, Threats\, and Preparedness \n\n\n\nLibraries in Nigeria\, like others globally\, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats\, compromising the integrity and availability of their digital collections and services. This study investigates the current state of cyber security and resilience in Nigerian libraries\, identifying strengths\, weaknesses\, and areas for improvement. Survey research method of the quantitative type was used. Data collected online from 80 Heads of libraries and 26 Systems librarians in ten states in Nigeria will be analysed and presented in tables and percentages. The findings will inform a proposed framework for improving cyber resilience in Nigerian libraries. Practical recommendations for improvement will be provide \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdetoun Oyelude \n\n\n\nUniversity of Ibadan \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAdetoun Adebisi Oyelude is an accomplished academic librarian and information professional with over 30 years of experience in using ICT and knowledge management skills to drive innovation and organizational goals.
