SUMMARY:UKSG One-Day Conference: London
DESCRIPTION:This is the page for the 2015 UKSG One-Day Conference.If you would like to read about or book for the 2016 One-Day Conference on the ‘Scholarly Communications Ecosystem’\, please click this link. … \n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nThis is the page for the 2015 UKSG One-Day Conference.If you would like to read about or book for the 2016 One-Day Conference on the ‘Scholarly Communications Ecosystem’\, please click this link. ​ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nE-books for today and tomorrow: what is the role of the ‘long form’ in teaching\, learning and research? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n ​This UKSG event was live webcast\, and recorded for subsequent online viewing\, courtesy of IET.tv – the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s video production service.Recordings now available! \n\n\n\nTextbooks\, monographs\, reports\, handbooks\, collected essays\, novels\, poetry collections – many formats of ‘long-form’ material continue to flourish and evolve.  Why does printed text continue to be so popular?  Now that they are more established\, how are e-versions fitting into this picture?  This event will examine the status of the e-book in the academic context\, and review the latest analysis and developments in relation to teaching\, learning and research. \n\n\n\nWho should attend \n\n\n\nThis event is aimed at librarians\, publishers and others in the knowledge community who want to gain a rounded view of how print and e-books are evolving\, and what the implications might be for how we make ‘long-form’ materials available in the future.  Join us for enlightening presentations and valuable networking with those who are shaping the future of scholarly print and e-books. \n\n\n\nWhy librarians should attendJane Harvell\, Head of Academic Services and Special Collections at the University of Sussex: “At my library\, we’re investing more and more in the e-book format (in its many guises) for research and teaching. 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.

SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - A Quiet Culture War in Research Libraries\, and What It Means for Libraries\, Researchers\, and Publishers
DESCRIPTION:There is a growing rift between those who believe the library’s most fundamental purpose is to support and advance the goals of its host institution and those who believe the library’s most important role is as an agent of progress and reform in the larger world of scholarly communication. Although these two areas of endeavor are not mutually exclusive\, they are in competition for scarce resources and the choices made between them have serious implications at both the micro level (for the patrons and institutions served by each library) and the macro level (for members of the larger academic community).   Join Rick Anderson\, Associate Dean for Scholarly Resources & Collections\, J. Willard Marriott Library\, University of Utah to feel better able to think analytically and make critically important decisions about libraries’ internal culture and alignment with institutional priorities.    More information and registration.
