It seeks to conceive of library content as serving differing functions and to compartmentalise collections accordingly. The proliferation of open scholarly content\, and the role of libraries in enabling it\, has progressed existing notions of facilitated collections. Elsewhere\, collective initiatives (the UKRR and the UK PBC) are evolving the conservational obligations of research libraries. With a better understanding of its other core functions the Library can then think about how it presents the unique and cultural significant content within its lager collections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Barr \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nPeter Barr leads a team with responsibility for library acquisitions and collection management at the University of Sheffield.

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimon Bowie \n\n\n\nCentre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University \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\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.

In many ways\, the pandemic has accelerated the acceptance of remote learning and faster technological advancements. Still\, in other ways\, it has exposed areas of weakness concerning data security/privacy in education and its supply chains. Besides education entities taking up more traditional and resilient security measures/frameworks\, there can also be an approach to deploy innovative technologies such as blockchain or decentralized networks and utilize decentralized digital identities (DID). \n\n\n\nIn the education sector\, digital identities can be used for various purposes such as verifying academic qualifications\, authenticating students and staff\, and managing educational resources. It could also create a secure\, decentralized system for storing and sharing academic research. This would make it easier for researchers to find and access the data they need and would help to prevent fraud. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStefan Kendzierskyj \n\n\n\nMaverick Publishing Specialists \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nStefan Kendzierskyj has an extensive commercial\, consulting\, and strategic leadership background\, holding senior and executive-level positions with technology solution-led companies servicing the publishing\, fintech\, government\, and cybersecurity sectors.Stefan holds a master’s degree in Cybersecurity and is an accomplished author in emerging technology subjects\, such as governance/risk/compliance\, privacy\, blockchain\, self-sovereign identity\, AI\, cyber warfare\, and cyberattacks/threats – with published works through world-renowned publishers such as Springer\, Elsevier\, Taylor & Francis\, IGI\, and World Scientific.His latest research involves GRC frameworks and cybersecurity for ground-to-space satellite systems. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Academy is in Play\, And It Is Not a Game \n\n\n\nLibrarianship is under attack in the United States. The ongoing clashes involving schools and public libraries making headlines are campaigns against core institutions in American society. Efforts are underway to vilify another core institution—the Academy. By understanding what libraries and academic institutions are facing in the U.S.\, academic librarians and industry professionals can better inform their leadership\, colleagues\, and researchers about what may be in their future.

From a library perspective this can be exacerbated by differences in expectations\, facilities and services from FE to HE libraries. For a number of years\, HE librarians at some institutions have been seeking to bridge this gap by taking a skill-based approach and offering support with the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to college students. In this webinar we’ll look at the limitations of this approach and suggest an alternative mindset-based approach where FE and HE library colleagues can collaborate on better preparing students for transition between the sectors. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for this event recording here. \n\n\n\nSlides\n\n\n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

SUMMARY:UKSG Understanding data visualisation online seminar 2024
DESCRIPTION:This new seminar will help delegates to discover the opportunities for utilising data in their institutions\, introduce some of the data analysis and visualisation tools available\, and offer case studies highlighting how libraries are already using different types of data to support service delivery and development and demonstrate impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 13\, 2024 – 10:00 GMTtoThursday\, November 14\, 2024 – 16:15 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\nPlease register here  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nLibraries produce and have access to large amounts of statistical data which when utilised effectively can provide valuable insights into the ways resources and services are being used and help to demonstrate impact and value for money. However\, collecting\, cleaning\, analysing\, and presenting data can be time-consuming and increasingly may require specialist skills and tools. This seminar will help delegates to discover the opportunities for utilising data in their institutions\, introduce some of the data analysis and visualisation tools available\, and offer case studies highlighting how libraries are already using different types of data to support service delivery and development and demonstrate impact. Data sources explored will include but are not limited to resource and service usage and discovery data\, research and open access data\, budgetary data\, print book circulation and library footfall data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in further and higher education who are interested in developing a data analytics service in their library and utilising a range of different data to support decision-making. The seminar may also be of relevance to publishers and suppliers interested understanding how librarians are using data in their libraries. Previous experience of working with data may be useful but is not essential. Please note that the seminar will not provide practical hands-on experience or training on how to use specific data visualisation tools. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not focus in depth on the collection\, collation\, analysis or interpretation of eresource usage data. These topics are covered by two other UKSG courses in this area: UKSG Usage Statistics – Practical Skills for Librarians and UKSG Usage Statistics for Decision Making. \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 how data can be made visually engaging and used to demonstrate impact and create stories for different audiences\n\n\n\nConsider a range of different library data sources and how these may relate to wider institutional strategy and context\n\n\n\nConsider how data can be used to support strategic planning and service development\n\n\n\nBecome familiar with some of the data visualisation tools available\n\n\n\nGain insights into how other libraries are developing data visualisation services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

Many thanks for your interest. \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.

However\, in the interests of time and clarity\, we’ve got used to adopting a very broad definition of the word ‘usage’. In this presentation\, we’ll examine exactly what we mean by ‘usage’\, and look at how some other performance indicators might challenge our previously held assumptions about what ‘good usage’ is. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Knight \n\n\n\nImperial College London \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndrew has been Acquisitions and Content Services Manager at Imperial College London since May 2020. This is a strategic role which looks after acquisitions\, metadata and document delivery across seven Imperial College Libraries\, identifying and implementing new technologies and innovations\, and advising the Library leadership team on sector developments. \n\n\n\nAndrew represents Imperial College at a sector level on a number of national groups and networks including Jisc’s Learning Content Expert Group\, the NAG committee\, and SUPC’s framework and contract management groups. His particular interests are around collection development\, library-supplier relations\, and how libraries can extract better value-for-money from a not-always-helpful market. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.10 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values – an update \n\n\n\nUsage data is a tool in a Library’s evaluation arsenal. When budgets are squeezed and renewal reminders come in\, we instinctively reach for those precious figures to show us how loved\, or not\, our resources are.  We will compensate for issues in completeness and accuracy\, and we use this data as a proxy for qualitative measures that are intangible. But as Library’s allocate more budget to open resources\, are our proxy measures still valuable? \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Bethany will reflect on how what we want to measure has changed\, and how data driven decision making needs to make a little room for values driven decision making.  She also gives an update on how things have changed recently\, budgets cuts and changes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBethany Logan \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sussex \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nBethany Logan is Associate Director of the Library at the University of Sussex.

Discipline-specific OACA was found\, despite higher average JIFs of non-OA journals. The effect was strongest for the green OA variant. These results may inform the development of publishing strategies. Researchers do not have to compromise between OA publishing or achieving citation impact. Importantly\, green OA can provide at least as high citation advantage as paid OA in hybrid journals\, offering a no-cost option for increased accessibility and impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nŠárka Erben Johansson \n\n\n\nMalmö University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nŠárka is a research librarian at Malmö University.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to open access 2024 - online seminar
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. Registration open. \n\n\n\nCourse Summary\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\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \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\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\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\ngive focus to the specific challenges and opportunities associated with open access publishing for books and book chapters. \n\n\n\nlook at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the processes of open access publishing\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\nLearning objectives\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\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required\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\nSupporting Information package\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\nAttendee Information\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible.  Our intention were possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read.

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.

I will take the audience through the processes initiated when concerns are raised to illustrate the sometimes unforeseen challenges that can arise and discuss potential improvements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInke Näthke \n\n\n\nUniversity of Dundee \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nProfessor Inke Näthke was awarded her PhD from the University of California\, San Francisco and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and Harvard Medical School before establishing her independent research team in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee focussed on early changes in bowel cancer. She is Professor of Epithelial Biology and also Associate Dean for Professional Culture.  She co-founded the Scottish Research integrity Network\, is a member of the Board of Trustees of UKRIO\, and is Research Integrity lead in the University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nA 30\,000ft view of Research Integrity: Data\, Trends and Actions – Daniel Hook\, Digital Science \n\n\n\nProtection of the scholarly record is critical for the global research enterprise to remain healthy both in terms of its ability to build on past research results and in terms of its relationships with the public that funds it. However\, there are multiple drivers that break research integrity – the pressures of the evaluation system; challenges in the peer review landscape and the aims of nefarious external actors to name just a few. Creating good quality data sources that allow us to detect and understand these behaviours is critical to keeping our research system healthy. I will give an insight into some of the challenges and opportunities in creating a good quality data signal in a way that supports the research sector in a responsible manner. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Hook \n\n\n\nDigital Science \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDaniel Hook is CEO of Digital Science\, co-founder of Symplectic\, a research information management provider\, and of the Research on Research Institute (RoRI). A theoretical physicist by training\, he continues to do research both in physics and in bibliometrics in his spare time\, and holds visiting academic positions at Imperial College London and Washington University in St Louis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRetractions: On the Rise\, But Not Enough – Ivan Oransky\, Retraction Watch \n\n\n\nIn 2000\, there were about 40 retractions from the scholarly literature. In 2023\, there were more than 10\,000. That is a dramatic increase\, even accounting for the growing number of papers published per year. In this talk\, I will start with what a retraction is\, and how perceptions and practice have changed. I will also explore the reasons for the increase\, why it is good news\, and why the real number should be even higher — along with the root cause of why researchers end up having to retract. I will tell the stories of the sleuths who are finding problems in the literature\, and describe efforts that academic libraries\, publishers\, technology vendors and others are making — and can make — to effect change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIvan Oransky \n\n\n\nRetraction Watch \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nIvan Oransky is one of the two co-founders of Retraction Watch\, the editor-in-chief of Spectrum and distinguished journalist in residence at New York University’s Arthur L Carter Journalism Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch and Exhibition Viewing \n\n\n\nKindly sponsored by \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop 1 – Making and Breaking the Rules: critical literacies for an AI-disrupted world \n\n\n\nWe live in a period of rapid digital transformation where hype around new technologies can overtake reality. AI\, automation\, virtual reality\, big data and algorithmic decision-making can potentially disrupt education\, work and entertainment. But the models underpinning these technologies aren’t new; we can critically evaluate them using established knowledge constructs and concepts. \n\n\n\nCritical literacies and knowledge of computational thinking can empower communities to generate new knowledge through responsible use of scholarly outputs\, data and technology. This interactive workshop explores critical approaches to digital and information literacies: through community learning we’ll develop threshold concepts\, enabling empowered ethical adoption of digital technologies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Halfpenny \n\n\n\nUniversity of Aberdeen \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSusan Halfpenny is Head of Research and Learning Information Services at the University of Aberdeen.

However\, when information professionals and publishers talk about its future\, it is nearly always Gold open access we discuss. Green was seen as the big solution for providing access to those who couldn’t afford it. However\, publishers have protested that Green destroys their business models. How true is this\, and are we even all talking the same language when we talk about Green? \n\n\n\nHas a recent focus on negotiating ‘read and publish’ deals moved towards Gold? Will upcoming milestones in research funder financing and compliance move us back? This session will discuss these questions and ask whether there is a model of Green that we can all get behind. \n\n\n\nAre we there yet? A review of transitional agreements in the UK – Chris Banks\, Imperial College London\, Caren Milloy\, Jisc\, \n\n\n\nTransitional agreements were developed in response to funder policy and institutional demand to constrain costs and facilitate funder compliance. They have since become the dominant model by which UK research outputs are made open access. In January 2023\, Jisc instigated a critical review of TAs and the OA landscape to provide an evidence base to inform a conversation on the desired future state of research dissemination. This session will discuss the key findings of the review and its impact on a sector-wide consultation and concrete actions in the UK and beyond. \n\n\n\nWhat did we Read\, What did we Publish: Distilling the data that librarians need to manage transformative agreements – Michael Levine-Clark\, University of Denver\, Jason Price\, SCELC Library Consortium \n\n\n\nAs transformative agreements emerge as a new standard\, it is critical for libraries\, consortia\, publishers\, and vendors to have consistent and comprehensive data – yet data around publication profiles\, authorship\, and readership has been shown to be highly variable in availability and accuracy. Building on prior research around frameworks for assessing the combined value of open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide\, we will address multi-dimensional perspectives to the challenges that the industry faces with the dissemination\, collection\, and analysis of data about authorship\, readership\, and value. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeth Montague-Hellen \n\n\n\nFrancis Crick Institute \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr Beth Montague-Hellen started off academic life as a Molecular Biologist studying at Manchester University.

Owing to a rise in funder policies and momentum towards more openness across the research landscape. Although policies for data sharing are in place\, engagement work is undertaken by librarians in order to ensure repository uptake and compliance.We will discuss a particular strategy implemented at Loughborough University that involved the application of conceptual messaging frameworks to engagement activities in order to promote and encourage use of our Figshare-powered repository. We will showcase the rationale behind the adoption of messaging frameworks for library outreach and some practical examples. \n\n\n\nAll Watched Over By Machines That Love Open Research – Mark Lester\, Cardiff Metropolitan University \n\n\n\nThis talk will outline how a completely accidental occurrence led to brand new avenues for open research advocacy and reasons for being. This advocacy has occurred within student communities such as trainee teachers\, student psychologists and (especially) those soon losing access to subscription-based library content. Alongside these new forms of advocacy\, these ethical example of AI use cases has begun to form a cornerstone of directly connecting the work of the library to new technology. \n\n\n\nHow GetFTR Supports Discovery and Access of OA Content – Hylke Koers\, STM Solutions \n\n\n\nGet Full Text Research (GetFTR) launched in 2020 with the objective of streamlining discovery and access of scholarly content in the many tools that researchers use today\, such as Dimensions\, Semantic Scholar\, Mendeley\, and many others.

In line with its charitable status\, UKSG also wishes to encourage attendance by members of the wider community and therefore subsidises the event so that a nominal charge applies to non-members.  \n\n\n\nProgramme chairs: Katherine Rose\, Magaly Bascones\, Tim Leonard \n\n\n\nFree to UKSG members!\n\n\n\nConsider becoming a UKSG member. \n\n\n\nCheck the UKSG member list. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat can I expect at the UKSG Forum? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nsessions on best practice and interesting projects\n\n\n\na comprehensive exhibition\n\n\n\nample\, good-quality networking opportunities\n\n\n\n\nThe Forum is the place for ideas\, debate\, provocations and short briefings.

SUMMARY:UKSG November Conference 2023 - Enriching Scholarship: how libraries and publishers educate\, enhance and inform scholarly works

Wednesday 15th November: 9.30am GMT to approx. 1.30pm and Thursday 16th November: 1.30pm GMT to approx 5.15pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 15\, 2023 – 09:30 GMTtoThursday\, November 16\, 2023 – 17:15 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\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\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference welcomes members and non-members of UKSG alike – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nFees (both days): \n\n\n\nMember – £ 45.00 + £ 9.00 VATNon-Member – £ 55.00 + £ 11.00 VAT(A list of members can be found here) \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend – We will send you a link to a recording after the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummary \n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme of our online November conference for 2023 is “Enriching Scholarship: how libraries and publishers educate\, enhance and inform scholarly works”.  \n\n\n\nJust as librarianship is a lot more than collection management\, publishing is far broader than peer review. In this UKSG November Conference we’ll be exploring all the ways in which our community acts to enrich scholarship\, within the following themes: \n\n\n\n\nResearch integrity. As a community we spend a lot of time talking about research integrity – but what is it\, who’s responsible\, and how do we get that message out to researchers?\n\n\n\nOpen scholarship. We know that open scholarship can and often does increase the administrative burden on researchers. How can we best mitigate that workload and continue to support the research process while opening up?  It can also add to the workload of the information professionals involved – what does that look like and what are the answers?\n\n\n\nInformation literacy. With the proliferation of fake news\, and more recently the hallucinations of artificial intelligence\, the ability to find and evaluate information sources is increasingly critical for scholars. Libraries and publishers are key sources of information literacy education\, and we’d love to hear about what you are doing in that space. \n\n\n\nDigital and blended learning. While Covid-19 pushed many institutions towards digital and blended learning in place of traditional lectures\, these tools have remained in place as the world has started to re-open. What kinds of materials and support do lecturers need to deliver these new modalities\, and how have they impacted on traditional tools like textbooks? \n\n\n\n\nSplit over two half days this event brings together voices from across our sector through a programme of presentations\, Q&A and facilitated panel sessions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow the conference on Twitter @UKSG and the hashtag #UKSGNov or on Linkedin  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG wants to provide the best possible experience for all our delegates\, making presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible. \n\n\n\nOur intention where possible is to strongly encourage our speakers to provide auto generated closed captioning for both live and recorded events as well as to make sure their slides as easy as possible for all people to read. In addition\, we can provide auto generated transcripts post event for each of the recorded sessions. \n\n\n\nIf you have particular accessibility needs or questions about this event\, we strongly encourage you to contact events@uksg.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nBack soon! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nSunday\, August 4\, 2024 – 00:00 BST – Monday\, November 18\, 2024 – 22:10 GMT \n\n\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\nContact \n\n\n\nGeneral queries – events@uksg.org \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nThe closing date for cancellations is Monday 23rd October\, after which date cancellations will not be eligible for a refund.

SUMMARY:Introduction to E-Resources Online Seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:Registration\n\n\n\nPlease register here \n\n\n\nCourse Summary\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.
