SUMMARY:Introduction to open access – online seminar 2026
DESCRIPTION:The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance. This online event is hosted over 2 half days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 20th October 2026 – 10:00toWednesday 21st October 2026 – 13:00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register \n\n\n\nUKSG membership rate: £70+VAT \n\n\n\nNon-membership rate: £82.00+VAT \n\n\n\nDetails of membership can be found at  https://www.uksg.org/join \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThe rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians and other information professionals in supporting pre-publication workflows for research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance.   This course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies and initiatives (eg Right Retention) are continuing to affect open access publishing and compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the open access publication lifecycle from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nexplain the complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\n\n\ngive focus to the specific challenges and opportunities associated with open access publishing for books and book chapters. \n\n\n\n\n\nlook at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the processes of open access publishing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    Please note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage of the publishing journey\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services and systems which support workflows\n\n\n\nBe aware of the application of open access publishing workflows across different research output types\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting Information package \n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.

From the perspective of a medium-sized HSS publisher\, this presentation explores what it takes to make Open Access work in practice. Drawing on our experience with a range of OA models for journals and books\, it will consider the opportunities and tensions we encounter: from sustainable funding and equitable participation to the changing relationships between publishers\, libraries\, researchers and funders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephanie Veltman  \n\n\n\nDe Gruyter Brill \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nStephanie Veldman is Director of Open Research at De Gruyter Brill\, where she leads the publisher’s Open Access strategy across books and journals. She has worked in academic publishing for more than 15 years\, with a particular focus on Open Access\, business development and strategic partnerships. Her work spans a range of OA models\, from Subscribe to Open and transformative agreements to Gold and Diamond Open Access. She is particularly interested in developing sustainable and inclusive approaches to Open Access that work across disciplines and bring publishers\, libraries and researchers together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:20 \n\n\n\n\n\nOpen Access for Books: Beyond the Book Processing Charge \n\n\n\nThis introduction to open access (OA) for books will explore how OA for books is developing today\, with a particular focus on community-led\, non-commercial approaches. We will give an overview of the breadth of activity currently taking place in the OA books world\, including experimentation with Diamond models\, scholar-led publishing and the rise of institutional OA presses best exemplified by the Open Institutional Publishing Association. We will reflect on our individual roles with the Copim community\, and explore how infrastructures such as the Open Book Collective and ideas like ‘scaling small’ can expand opportunities to publish open access books in equitable ways. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of how OA for books really works in practice\, and information about where they can go to learn more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Ball  \n\n\n\nOpen Book Collective  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTBC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Barns \n\n\n\nOpen Book Publishers \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLucy Barnes is Senior Editor and Outreach Coordinator at Open Book Publishers\, a leading non-profit\, scholar-led Open Access book publisher based in Cambridge\, UK.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage data for decision making online seminar 2026
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 3rd & 4th November (9:00 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 3\, 2026 – 12:45 GMTtoWednesday\, November 4\, 2026 – 12:00 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register  \n\n\n\nUKSG membership rate: £70+VAT \n\n\n\nNon-membership rate: £82.00+VAT \n\n\n\nDetails of membership can be found at  https://www.uksg.org/join \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  Delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.

This presentation explores practical approaches to using usage data\, visualisation\, automation and AI in an academic library environment. Drawing on real examples from London South Bank University\, it will demonstrate how Alma Analytics\, Power BI\, Python and SQL can help inform collection decisions\, renewal discussions\, service planning and resource management. The presentation will also explore the emerging role of AI in analysing and summarising usage data\, while considering where human judgement remains essential when interpreting trends and making decisions with financial or service implications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbdul Qadeer Khan \n\n\n\nLondon South Bank University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAbdul Qadeer Khan is an Acquisitions & Fulfilment Team Leader at London South Bank University\, with professional experience spanning library acquisitions\, systems\, digital resources\, data analytics and service improvement. Previously a Systems Librarian\, he has worked extensively with Alma Analytics\, Power BI\, Alma\, Leganto and other library technologies to support reporting and evidence-based decision-making. He holds an MSc in Data Science and is Microsoft PL-300 certified in Power BI\, with practical experience using Python and SQL for data analysis and automation. Abdul is particularly interested in applying data and emerging technologies to improve library services\, resource management and strategic decision-making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nGenerative AI and data analysis: Some reflections \n\n\n\nGenerative AI has many applications in library work. One potential use is to support the analysis of data. This presentation explores how it might be used and how to manage the risks. It begins by reflecting on both our ambivalence about metricisation in general as a wider social trend and our specific concerns about how far generative AI can be trusted. It gives examples of the kinds of usage that can be made of generative AI for data analysis\, and suggests what safeguards need to be put in place to ensure responsible use. This interactive session is an opportunity for participants to share how they are using generative AI in data analysis and what their main concerns are. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Cox  \n\n\n\nSheffield University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndrew Cox is a senior lecturer at the School of Information\, Journalism and Communication\, University of Sheffield\, UK https://sheffield.ac.uk/ijc/people/andrew-cox.

Choosing the appropriate methodology and implementing the methods are complicated\, requiring technical skills and significant efforts\, especially for qualitative analyses. Intellectus 360 provides a suite of tools\, enhanced with AI\, that provides guidance and scaffolding interactions that enable the researchers to make the right decisions in the context of their research. Intellectus Qualitative streamlines and reduces the rater-biases in creating themes and codes from the qualitative analyses of interviews and open text responses within minutes\, not months.

As libraries are increasingly asked to give access to a range of non-traditional resources such as maps\, business data and law sites\, as well as specialist journals and magazine titles the job of gathering and analysing usage can be complex. This session will look at some of the other places Edge Hill goes hunting for usage\, including directly from publishers websites\, as well as using data from EZProxy to gain evidence of usage\, as well as addressing some of the drawbacks to these methods \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuth Smalley  \n\n\n\nEdge Hill University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRuth is the Content and Discovery Manager at Edge Hill University.
