SUMMARY:UKSG Practical Project Management: London
DESCRIPTION:Workshop summaryWe all have to manage projects. Whether you are implementing a new system\, migrating services\, managing a vendor selection process\, managing an office move or creating a new product or service\, we are often managing projects without the support of a professionally trained project manager. We are expected to deliver more with less\, and it mustn’t go wrong on our watch! If this sounds familiar\, then help is at hand…. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 27\, 2016 – 09:00 BSTtoThursday\, October 27\, 2016 – 16:30 BST \n\n\n\n\n\nThe King’s FundNo. 11 Cavendish Square (Maxwell Room)LondonW1G 0AN \n\n\n\nTel.: 020 7307 2474 (Reception) \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\nSponsors \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\nMap \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\nWorkshop Summary  \n\n\n\n\n\nWe all have to manage projects. Whether you are implementing a new system\, migrating services\, managing a vendor selection process\, managing an office move or creating a new product or service\, we are often managing projects without the support of a professionally trained project manager. We are expected to deliver more with less\, and it mustn’t go wrong on our watch! If this sounds familiar\, then help is at hand. \n\n\n\nUKSG Practical Project Management is a highly practical workshop aimed at librarians\, publishers and intermediaries responsible for managing a variety of projects of any size\, including vendor selection\, tenders\, implementing systems\, system migration and web site creation and change projects. It is assumed that delegates have little or no formal project management training. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we introduce a simple and free project management tool that enables you to run projects of any size and any level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\, providing you with all the key information you need\, enabling you to stay on track and deliver on time and on budget. \n\n\n\nOne of the key benefits of the workshop is that delegates can bring a real project they will be working on and use the workshop to create a real project plan for that project\, so they create something valuable on the day as well as getting trained. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is very practical with a mix of tools and techniques as well as specially designed exercises to enable you to leave the workshop ready to implement the tools in your projects immediately. Exercises\, worksheets and handouts are provided for you to take away. \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\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, delegates will be: \n\n\n\n\n• confident in their ability to take on projects of any size\n\n\n\n• more productive and efficient\, resulting in less overwhelm and fire-fighting\n\n\n\n• familiar with a new project management tool that enables them to run projects of any size and level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\n\n\n\n• skilful at managing multiple projects\, providing updates for everybody involved and seeing at a glance where attention needs to be focused\n\n\n\n• ready to put their new skills and techniques into practice immediately to impact their job the day they return to the office.\n\n\n\nIn addition\, each delegate will have the opportunity to develop a project plan for a real project they are about to begin. This provides the opportunity for learning new skills in a highly practical way as well as doing some ‘real work’ during the session!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Agenda  \n\n\n\n\n\n09:30 Registration and refreshments10:00 Introductions and objectives of the day10:15 Session 1: Introducing a new project manager tool\, project definitions and components of the tool10:30 Session 2: 12-steps to constructing the project plan before the project starts11:45 Refreshment break12:00 Session 2: (continued)12:30 Session 3: Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 113:15 Lunch14:00 Session 3: (continued) Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 214:45 Session 4: Using the project plan during a project (refreshments available)15:45 Session 5: Extending the project management tool\, review\, summary and questions16:15 Close \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Facilitator \n\n\n\n\n\nPractical Project Management is facilitated by David Sommer.  David has over twenty years’ experience in the global publishing industry.  He has worked for Blackwell Publishing and Macmillan Publishing Solutions and has developed a range of successful publisher and library products including Blackwell Synergy\, ContentStore\, ScholarlyStats and MPS Insight.  In 2009 David set up David Sommer Consulting helping publishers\, societies and libraries and he is now Co-Founder and Product Director at Kudos.  He also chairs the Executive Committee for COUNTER.  David has extensive project management experience\, successfully developing and launching major industry products. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFee \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG members: £200.00 + £40.00 VAT [20%] (total £240.00)Non-members: £250.00 + £50.00 VAT [20%] (total £300.00) \n\n\n\nThe fee includes refreshments and lunch. \n\n\n\nFeedback from previous PPM workshops \n\n\n\nIn 2015 100% of the London workshop attendees rated it ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’ and all said they would recommend it to a colleague. \n\n\n\n“Excellent.  Just the right amount of practical work\, and a really useful recap at the end.  Very well presented.” \n\n\n\n“Brilliantly simple/straightforward.  Common sense\, clarifies thinking.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent!  I feel much more prepared when breaking down my role into discrete project plans and explaining this to senior management.  David’s style of delivery was really clear and prepared for all questions/potential scenarios we might face employing the project techniques in the workplace.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent course which will transform the way I manage projects – many thanks.” \n\n\n\n“I particularly liked hearing about other people’s experiences.  Tips surrounding project management such as time management were very useful.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent workshop.  Found the practical elements really helpful.  Can see many opportunities to use this pretty much every day.  Enjoyed the style and pace of the day as well.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThe booking date for this course has now passed.  For further information please contact Alison Whitehorn \n\n\n\nVenue location details will be sent with confirmation of booking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nBy Wednesday 19 October 2016 – full refundFrom Thursday 20 October 2016 – no refund \n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.

SUMMARY:UKSG E-Resources Technical Update: London
DESCRIPTION:Course summaryMany of us working directly with e-resources in libraries would like to feel more confident in our understanding of the related technology.  Managing e-resources within the business and technology constraints has become the mainstay of information provision.  This course provides attendees with a balanced overview of the technical environment which is crucial if we are to do our jobs effectively. The UKSG E-Resources Technical Update course will give you a good understanding of the underlying technicalities involved in e-resource set-up and delivery\, including e-journals (subscription-based or OA)\, online databases\, datasets\, and e-books\, and will help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work. Why you should attendERTU has become a standard part of the training programme for many e-resources librarians in the UK and beyond and is considered invaluable for anyone working with journals and other e-resources. Course level and previous knowledge requiredIf you are an early-year professional\, it is recommended that you should first attend the UKSG Introduction to Journals and E-Resources Today\, a one-day seminar run in a variety of locations which covers all aspects of the journals and e-resources industry.  Otherwise no previous knowledge is required. Learning objectives•    Learn how to overcome common problems in implementing e-resources•    Have the tools to help you decide the best way of setting up access to e-resources in your institution/organisation•    Be confident that you understand the technical landscape when dealing withe-resource providers.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Statistics for Decision Making: London
DESCRIPTION:Libraries have access to more data than ever before about the ways in which their print and electronic resources are being used by readers\, and advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making…. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, June 3\, 2016 – 10:00 BSTtoFriday\,

have access to more data than ever before about the ways in which their print and electronic resources are being used by readers\, and advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making.At the same time\, public sector institutions are being asked to make extremely difficult choices about priorities for spending.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided.This seminar offers invaluable background information on how usage statistics are collated and what they do and do not measure\, as well as case studies demonstrating how statistics are informing the decision-making process in real life.  Delegates 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 also have the chance to share their own experiences\, positive and negative\, of using statistics for decision making and will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day.Course level and previous knowledge requiredThis course is aimed at those who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections.  It will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in the further and higher education sector but may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.Please note: This course 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.Learning objectivesDelegates will:•    understand how usage statistics are created and what they actually mean•    learn about practical ways in which e-journal and e-book usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes•    learn about other statistical approaches to measuring the value and impact ofe-resources•    understand the wider environment and context in which usage statistics collection and decision making is carried out•    discuss their own experiences of gathering and manipulating usage statistics in order to make financial\, management and service decisions. \n\n\n\nFee \n\n\n\nUKSG members:  £185.00 + £37.00 VAT [20%] (total

SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - Peer review in 2015: a global view - Key findings from the Taylor & Francis white paper
DESCRIPTION:Peer review: much discussed\, much covered\, much maligned\, but what do researchers really think of the system at the heart of scholarly research? Is it as broken as we are sometimes led to believe? How much of a discrepancy is there between expectation and reality? How do views differ between authors\, editors and reviewers? Or across the disciplines – humanities\, social sciences\, science and medicine? Join Elaine Devine and Will Frass of Taylor & Francis as they discuss the findings of a global survey and focus groups conducted in 2015 with authors\, reviewers and editors around the world.   More information and registration.

I want to ensure this isn’t being done blindly\, and that we are taking advantage of all opportunities to hear from ‘consumers’ of this type of content. The one-day conference provides an opportunity to take a fresh look at e-books in their own right – not just as the sometimes cheaper\, easier to distribute and less dusty alternative to the print book. It’s also a chance to hear measured scholarly opinion on the value of the e-book format\, and of the open access book\, to the research process.” Why publishers should attendColleen Campbell\, JSTOR’s Director\, Institutional Participation and Strategic Partnerships – Europe: “Publishers and other providers of digital books need to keep up to date with the expectations of libraries and their users in terms of functionality and access. It’s important to understand this in the context of how students and researchers are using long-form resources – both paper and electronic – for example\, whether they substitute one for the other\, or use both complementarily. We also need to be in tune with how libraries are developing their collections and guiding their readers towards these different resources – all of this has implications for the way we provide services.” \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n09.30   Registration and coffee10.00   Welcome and introduction by the ChairJeremy Upton\, Director of University and Library Collections\, University of Edinburgh10.05   Monographs and open access: reflections arising out of the report to HEFCE  Professor Geoffrey Crossick\, Author\, HEFCE Report on Monographs and Open Access\, and Distinguished Professor of the Humanities\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London10.35   Author experiences and expectations of open access publishing modelsDr Chris Kempshall\, Associate Tutor and Researcher\, University of SussexProfessor Frank Rennie\, Assistant Principal (Research\, Enterprise and Development)\, Lews Castle College\, University of the Highlands and IslandsProfessor Geoffrey Crossick\, Distinguished Professor of the Humanities\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London11.15   Coffee \n\n\n\n11.45   On Book Sprints: short-form methods and collaborative authorship Professor Claire Taylor\, Professor of Hispanic Studies\, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures\, University of Liverpool12.15   Student experiences and expectations of print and e-booksStudents from the University of Sussex\, King’s College London and City University London13.00   Lunch14.00   Sustainability of new print and e-book publishing models – publisher\, librarian and funder perspectivesPublisher perspective  Eelco Ferwerda\, Director\, OAPEN Foundation \n\n\n\nLibrarian perspective  Chris Banks\, Director of Library Services\, Imperial College London \n\n\n\nFunder perspectiveDonald J Waters\, Senior Program Officer\, Scholarly Communications\,The Andrew W Mellon Foundation15.15   Tea15.45   The AHRC/British Library Academic Book of the Future Project  Dr Samantha J Rayner\, Director\, Centre for Publishing\, University College London[Presentation delivered by Dr Michael Jubb\, Director\, Research Information Network]16.00   OAPEN-UK: the final report and recommendationsCaren Milloy\, Deputy Director\, Jisc Collections16.15   Online Educational Resources: e-tips  Professor Frank Rennie\, Assistant Principal (Research\, Enterprise and Development)\, Lews Castle College\, University of the Highlands and Islands16.30   Question Timechaired by Jeremy Upton17.00   Wrap-up followed by drinks reception18.00   Close \n\n\n\nVenue \n\n\n\nGrand Connaught Rooms(Edinburgh and Drawing Room)61-65 Great Queen StreetLondonWC2B 5DAT: +44 (0)20 7405 7811W: www.grandconnaughtrooms.com \n\n\n\nWhat they said about the 2014 One-Day Conference (on researchers’ needs) \n\n\n\n“A very useful insight into researcher needs\, their views on the current situation\, and how they see the challenges ahead and possible solutions.” \n\n\n\n“The range of perspectives presented at the conference was extremely useful.” \n\n\n\n“All speakers excellent\, knowledgable and stuck to their brief.” \n\n\n\n“I really thought the programme theme was reflected well in the running order and content of the presentations – well done.” \n\n\n\n“It gave me a good broad update on the complexity in the current situation in the UK scholarly communications sector.  Great to have policy makers\, publishers\, librarians and researchers at the same event.” \n\n\n\nFee\n\n\n\nUKSG members: £190.00 + £38.00 VAT [20%] (total £228.00)Non-members: £240.00 + £48.00 VAT [20%] (total £288.00) \n\n\n\nThe fee includes refreshments and lunch. \n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nThe closing date for booking has now passed.  For further information please contact Karen Sadler. \n\n\n\nVenue location details will be sent with confirmation of booking. \n\n\n\nCancellations\n\n\n\nBy Monday 9 November 2015 – full refundFrom Tuesday 10 November 2015 – no refund \n\n\n\nNB:  UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies.

SUMMARY:UKSG Practical Project Management: London
DESCRIPTION:This seminar takes place over two half days looking at how resources are being developed and promoted\, and how others have approached the creation and management of OER policies. We welcome speakers from the UK and USA to this session. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, October 19\, 2015 – 03:00 BSTtoMonday\, October 19\, 2015 – 10:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Institute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining297 Euston RoadLondonNW1 3AQ \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop summary\n\n\n\nWe all have to manage projects. Whether you are implementing a new system\, migrating services\, managing a vendor selection process\, managing an office move or creating a new product or service\, we are often managing projects without the support of a professionally trained project manager. We are expected to deliver more with less\, and it mustn’t go wrong on our watch! If this sounds familiar\, then help is at hand. \n\n\n\nUKSG Practical Project Management is a highly practical workshop aimed at librarians\, publishers and intermediaries responsible for managing a variety of projects of any size\, including vendor selection\, tenders\, implementing systems\, system migration and web site creation and change projects. It is assumed that delegates have little or no formal project management training. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we introduce a simple and free project management tool that enables you to run projects of any size and any level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\, providing you with all the key information you need\, enabling you to stay on track and deliver on time and on budget. \n\n\n\nOne of the key benefits of the workshop is that delegates can bring a real project they will be working on and use the workshop to create a real project plan for that project\, so they create something valuable on the day as well as getting trained. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is very practical with a mix of tools and techniques as well as specially designed exercises to enable you to leave the workshop ready to implement the tools in your projects immediately. Exercises\, worksheets and handouts are provided for you to take away. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, delegates will be:• confident in their ability to take on projects of any size• more productive and efficient\, resulting in less overwhelm and fire-fighting• familiar with a new project management tool that enables them to run projects of any size and level of complexity from a single sheet of paper• skilful at managing multiple projects\, providing updates for everybody involved and seeing at a glance where attention needs to be focused• ready to put their new skills and techniques into practice immediately to impact their job the day they return to the office. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, each delegate will have the opportunity to develop a project plan for a real project they are about to begin. This provides the opportunity for learning new skills in a highly practical way as well as doing some ‘real work’ during the session! \n\n\n\nWorkshop agenda\n\n\n\n09:30 Registration and refreshments10:00 Introductions and objectives of the day10:15 Session 1: Introducing a new project manager tool\, project definitions and components of the tool10:30 Session 2: 12-steps to constructing the project plan before the project starts11:30 Refreshment break11:45 Session 2: (continued)12:15 Session 3: Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 113:00 Lunch13:45 Session 3: (continued) Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 214:30 Session 4: Using the project plan during a project (refreshments available)15:30 Session 5: Extending the project management tool\, review\, summary and questions16:00 Close \n\n\n\nWorkshop facilitator\n\n\n\nPractical Project Management is facilitated by David Sommer.
