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. 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. 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 seminar/webinar\, we welcome you to contact events@uksg.org \n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nThe sessions will be recorded and available to all registered delegates after the event\, so if you unable to join us live or want to review any presentation this will be available.  \n\n\n\nProgramme

But how can we equally ensure that authors do not encounter financial barriers as journals transition to OA business models and open access becomes the default in scholarly publishing?OA2020 has partnered with UNESCO\, the International Science Council\, cOAlition S\, EIFL and other international organizations on a series of regional workshops to identify the financial barriers that authors encounter and hear the challenges they face\, particularly in resource-limited contexts\, in order to develop actionable plans and practical mechanisms that ensure no author is limited in their opportunity to publish their accepted articles open access in the journals of their choice. In this talk\, Colleen Campbell\, Strategic Advisor to the Max Planck Digital Library and coordinator of the Open Access 2020 Initiative (OA2020)\, will share insights gained in the workshops and the proposals that emerged. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColleen Campbell \n\n\n\nMax Planck Digital Library \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nColleen Campbell is strategic advisor for external engagement at the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL). There she coordinates two open access initiatives: the Open Access 2020 Initiative\, a global alliance of research organizations and their libraries that are repurposing their investments in subscriptions to support open access publishing\, and the ESAC Initiative\, a library community of practice building capacities around transformative and open access publishing agreements.

But how do universities navigate this complex landscape\, and how does this activity align with their broader missions around teaching and research? Once known as the ‘third mission’ or ‘third leg of the stool’\, I argue that Knowledge Exchange is now a critical and integral part of how universities deliver their mission and strategies. As both government policy and KE practice evolves\, how can all parts of the university work together to deliver for their regions\, and how might this benefit the university? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHamish McAlpine \n\n\n\nOxentia \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nOxentia is Oxford’s global innovation consultancy. As Principal Consultant\, Hamish works with Higher Education and government clients\, delivering consultancy\, strategy development and training on knowledge exchange and commercialisation (KEC) and innovation management. He has a particular interest in innovation ecosystems and the role of universities in driving inclusive regional growth. \n\n\n\nBefore joining Oxentia in 2021\, Hamish was the Head of Data & Evidence at Research England\, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). He was responsible for creating England’s first Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF)\, as well as managing £250m per annum of KE funding\, and related policy areas. In his spare time\, he upcycles bit of old aircraft into furniture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n2. Universities put in their place – Sue Black  \n\n\n\nAt one extreme a university may operate irrespective of the geographical location it inhabits whilst at the other\, it may be the very life blood of its community. The Government’s current focus on the role of ‘place’\, regional growth and the levelling up agenda\, poses an interesting dilemma for some\, but opportunity for others\, to reconsider their function as an anchor institution within their community. We will explore this using examples from Lancaster University’s civic journey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSue Black \n\n\n\nLancaster University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nProfessor Dame Sue Black is Pro Vice Chancellor for Engagement at Lancaster University.

A fractured global geopolitical settlement\, profound environmental and climate pressures\, the rapid driving forces of digital transformation\, and significant social\, economic and health inequalities. These pervasive challenges have been amplified through the seismic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. These are not partisan issues – they affect us all.           \n\n\n\nJosh will explore the positive role that libraries can play in responding to the challenges as compassionate leaders striving towards social justice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosh Sendall \n\n\n\nUniversity of Nottingham \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJosh joined University of Nottingham Libraries as Associate Director for Research in November 2021.

Exploring the link between Open Access publication and perceived output quality at a small public research university in Hampshire – University of Winchester \n\n\n\nThe REF 2021 Open Access mandate was established in recognition of the benefits of OA publication and in an effort to increase the proportion of UK-funded research that is openly accessible. The REF is\, however\, primarily an assessment of research quality\, not availability. As researchers and academics selected their best outputs for REF submission\, the possibility arose that an association would be implied between openness and quality. In order to find out whether this had happened at the University of Winchester\, research-active staff were invited to complete a survey measuring the likelihood that they would choose Green and Gold OA for outputs that they perceived to be of particularly high quality. The results show that there may in fact be a perception amongst Winchester academics that Open Access is more appropriate for very good outputs than for those perceived to be mediocre. The implications of this are briefly discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Barlow \n\n\n\nUniversity of Winchester \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJacqueline Barlow has held the position of Open Access Officer at the University of Winchester since September 2017. She is the only dedicated Open Access specialist at the University\, and is responsible for maintaining the institutional repository in addition to promoting Open Access and Open Research and ensuring compliance with the relevant policies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n3. Publishing through a pandemic: how has COVID affected how we discover\, read\, and publish research? – Mark Robinson\, Taylor & Francis \n\n\n\nCOVID has impacted so many parts of our lives since early 2020. But what has been the effect on users’ journal content discovery\, reading and publishing habits and what does that mean for both user experience and researcher-centric development in 2022 and beyond? How has user behaviour changed across the world and across disciplines\, from the humanities and social sciences to science and medicine?    In this session we’ll explore the trends and patterns seen by one global publisher and what this means for each step of the publishing workflow\, from online search to reading to publishing your research.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Robinson \n\n\n\nTaylor & Francis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nPanorama – building library data infrastructure through partnership with academic libraries. \n\n\n\nIn this short presentation Phill Hall will introduce how EBSCO are partnering with academic libraries to critique their engagement data using modern data tools. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhill Hall \n\n\n\nEBSCO \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nPhill Hall has worked in the information industry for approximately 15 years\, spanning areas of library content\, library automation\, digital preservation\, research funding\, research metrics\, research reproducibility\, learning management systems\, and\, more recently\, library engagement analytics. \n\n\n\nIn his current role with EBSCO\, Phill is Global Sales for Panorama library and campus analytics\, drawing on his breadth of experience to assist libraries in uncovering a more comprehensive view of library engagement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Shaw \n\n\n\nLancaster University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nThomas Shaw is Associate Director for Digital Innovation and Open Research at Lancaster University\, and oversees the Library’s innovative use and development of digital technology\, and its significant contribution to research through championing open research principles and practices.

Many sadlyy are not archived in a long-term digital preservation scheme\, and so something needs to be done to prevent these journals from vanishing from the internet. A team of organisations have come together to find a solution that will decrease the number of unarchived journals. This is project JASPER.The first phase (now ongoing) is a pilot to check if journals indexed in DOAJ will engage with archiving services when prompted to do so and with the offer of help. DOAJ acts as a conduit for the journals and a single point of contact for participating preservation services (initially CLOCKSS\, Internet Archive\, and PKP-PN). Preserved content then appears in the Keepers Registry.In phase two we will expand to support more journals and to involve more preservation services in hope that the content will be preserved by at least three services\, in line with best practice.The lightning talk will focus on lessons learned and next steps.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlicia Wise \n\n\n\nCLOCKSS \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAlicia Wise is Executive Director of CLOCKSS\, a community of research libraries and academic publishers working together to ensure the long-term preservation of the scholarly record. She has been active in increasing access to research information for 20 years in roles within our publishing community (e.g. with Elsevier\, the Publishers Association\, the Publishers Licensing Service) and also within the library community (e.g. Jisc\, a range of universities). Her Ph.D. is in Anthropology and focussed on the Roman invasion of Scotland and resistance to this. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nGala Dinner \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\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRefreshments and exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group C \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments \n\n\n\nRefreshments and exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group D \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary Session 3 \n\n\n\n1. N8+ and collective collections: what’s the little idea? – Phil Sykes\, University of Liverpool \n\n\n\nPhil will talk about the development of the N8+ project\, its potential to reset the power balance between universities and publishers worldwide\, and the role it could play in the development of “collective collections”.

This is uncharted territory for most publishers and academics\, and those at the nexus of publishing OA books require support.               \n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop will consider current developments in this area and provide an outline of the key findings of our work. We will invite feedback from attendees to inform understanding of the requirements and challenges faced by the academic community.                                                \n\n\n\nIn order to provide this support\, we have carried out research looking at academics’ opinions concerning publishing OA books and have identified key pain points experienced when dealing with OA book policies.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Jackson \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKaren has worked at Jisc since 2017 and having been involved with several products in the Open Research portfolio she now manages Sherpa Services\, leading the development and evolution of these products and services.

Imperial College has developed a novel computer-based method that combines our reading list management system\, a journal database and the World Bank to evaluate the distribution of authors cited on reading lists by affiliated country income status. The results applied to modules over different time periods will be shared as well as our broader thoughts and experience of the implications\, opportunities and limitations of quantitative data to support decolonisation\, particularly in a STEM setting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobyn Price \n\n\n\nImperial College London \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRobyn Price is responsible for bibliometric analysis and education at Imperial.

The near reverence with which students used to regard serious newspapers had largely evaporated and\, in some cases\, been replaced with outright contempt. I taught scholarly research and writing at the start of our new millennium and\, like most of my colleagues\, I encouraged skepticism toward the media. We taught our students that even the most prestigious newspapers shouldn’t be taken for gospel and that all articles were susceptible to error and bias. Today\, this kind of instruction is neither necessary nor helpful. For the most part\, students are already skeptical of the media and\, where they detect opinions in news sources different from their own\, they are increasingly likely to dismiss everything in those sources as fundamentally unreliable. In this session\, we will consider the main reasons students have lost faith in the media and explore non-naïve and responsible ways of building it back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Blackwell \n\n\n\nNewsbank \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAfter many years at ProQuest\, Adam recently moved to Newsbank.

This year\, for the first time in two decades (!)\, he wrote a play\, which is part domestic drama and part ghost story. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom speed dating to long-term relationships: strategies for including support for Open Science Infrastructures into library budgets \n\n\n\nDuring this session we will seek to explore how libraries can move towards a more strategic way of thinking about investing in Open Science Infrastructures moving away from short-term commitments to mid to longer term ones by referring to countries who have changed their funding strategies in favour of OS infrastructure. What strategies are being applied on both national and institutional levels\, why and how? A panel discussion will hear from library consortial and national approaches as to why they changed their funding strategies to include OS infrastructure\, which we hope will give others the confidence to do the same. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

So\, will there be any need for this usage data in an increasingly open access environment? This session discusses this question in the context of emerging community action business models and asks if usage statistics are relevant in evaluating the investment libraries are making in open access journal and book content. If usage statistics are relevant\, whose usage? The usage by members of the institution or the usage made by people in the wider world? Finally\, this session will discuss what COUNTER has been doing over the course of the last year to explore these questions\, and how COUNTER reports could develop as a result. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen\, Executive Director at COUNTER Metrics and Founder of Mellins-Cohen Consulting\, joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

Perceptions differ about what constitutes ‘open’ in terms of the wide variety of systems and solutions deployed by libraries.                         \n\n\n\nWith the rise of cloud computing\, software ‘platforms’ are on the rise. The value of a platform. as opposed to a software ‘product’ comes not only from its own features\, but from its ability to connect to external solutions\, data\, and processes. To do this it needs to be ‘open’ in terms of data and the ability to integrate\, via (typically open) application programming Interfaces (APIs)\, with other products which may be developed by customers or provided by other independent software vendors (ISVs).   The result is that we see open source library system platforms such as Folio integrating with proprietary software solutions such as reading lists. Equally we see proprietary library system platforms making use of open source software and enabling third parties to integrate to add functionality and re-use data and services provides by the platform.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKen Chad \n\n\n\nKen Chad Consulting Ltd \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKen gained his Master’s degree from the Information Science Department at City University in London.

Since then\, the Austrian Academic Library Consortium has concluded deals with all major publishers and increasingly with society and university presses as well. This session will explore the challenges encountered while searching for a fair and sustainable cost-sharing model in a world in transition to Open Access\, where the costs for reading and publishing continue to coexist. We will present the first transformative cost-sharing model\, rolled out for two major agreements (Wiley and Springer)\, and provide an honest account of our experience to date. We will also give an overview of the AT2OA Post Transition Study\, which builds on the methodology developed by Schimmer et al.\, and how this has influenced our current approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRita Pinhasi \n\n\n\nUniversity of Vienna \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nA graduate of UCL\, Rita Pinhasi joined Vienna University Library in 2017\, where she has been involved in the negotiations of various institutional and national Open Access publishing agreements\, from data analysis through workflows to licensing.

Engaging the community in shaping OA policy for books. \n\n\n\nThe Open Access Books Network (OABN) is a relatively new kid on the block\, but it punches above its weight. Our most significant series so far was the Voices from the OA Books Community\, devoted to exploring different aspects of policy for OA books. \n\n\n\nDuring the heated discussions\, what were the main areas of consensus and which topics emerged as especially controversial? Which aspects of OA policy for books perplexed the community and provoked more questions than answers? In this session we will hear from session leaders and participants as they paint a nuanced picture of a necessary but complex endeavour: how to directly engage the OA books community in developing policies that will materially affect its future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

Libraries and non-profit publishers often share similar missions\, but existing structures on both sides can work to create barriers to collaboration. The system remains configured to work with paid subscriptions or perpetual licensing\, alongside print procurement\, which can work against implementing OA models. What are the major structural impediments for OA? How can smaller and non-profit presses cooperate with libraries to create OA positive structures? We will use the Jisc Open Access Community Framework\, MIT Press’s D2O\, and PLoS CAP models as case studies for change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgata Morka \n\n\n\nSPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelen Dobson \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHelen is a Licensing portfolio specialist for research content at Jisc.

Yet we lack a framework for assessing the combined value of the open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide. Perceived and actual value and price vary according to whether an institution is a major content producer (publish institution) or content consumer (read institution). To assess the value from these differing perspectives\, we’ll use top-down data from Delta Think’s OA Data & Analytics Tool and bottom up data from Our Research’s Unsub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Levine-Clark \n\n\n\nUniversity of Denver \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMichael Levine-Clark is Dean of the University of Denver Libraries\, where he has worked in various positions since 1999.

Somewhat surprisingly\, most attention has been focused on algorithms\, yet the corpus may be even more important\, from the point of view of potential bias. There is already plenty of experience within the library at measuring the take-up and effect (and limitations) of digital tools. Using some real-life case studies\, this presentation gives suggestions for assessing AI tools compared with current manual processes\, and considers how use cases can help identify new ways of deploying of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Upshall \n\n\n\nUNSILO\, a Division of Cactus Communications \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTracking the open access book: what data do research institutions and libraries need in support of their strategies around open access books? \n\n\n\nWith momentum for Open Access (OA) books on the rise\, there have been calls by various stakeholders to open up the library and develop OA book infrastructures to further support the transition to OA for books. One of the key infrastructures for OA books is the OAPEN Library that helps stakeholders tracking usage of OA books. During this session we will show how OAPEN can provide usage data for different stakeholders and seek to explore additional kinds of data that libraries may find useful to inform their OA book strategies and decision-making processes to support OA book publishing initiatives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Mosterd \n\n\n\nDOAB & OAPEN\, Open Access Books Network \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTom Mosterd is the Community Manager for DOAB & OAPEN.

This paper will explore the challenges of turning these ideals into practical action. It will ask what practically can be effected by librarians. Does this situation require a revolution? If not\, can significant reform be achieved within existing power structures? Or are these notions fundamentally impossible\, and academic libraries should resign themselves to an accommodation with commercialism and look for other values in their partnerships? \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.

SUMMARY:FREE UKSG webinar: Towards sustainable scholarly infrastructures - The case of CORE
DESCRIPTION:CORE (https://core.ac.uk) is\, with about 30 million monthly active users\, the world’s most used aggregator of open access research papers from repositories and journals. It is a not-for-profit service dedicated to the open access mission committed to the Principles of Open Science Infrastructure (POSI)\, serving the global network of repositories and journals. It provides services in the areas of discovery\, machine access to content\, content management and scholarly identifiers (https://core.ac.uk/services) for a wide range of audiences stakeholders\, including researchers\, the general public\, academic institutions\, developers\, funders and companies from a diverse range of sectors including but not limited to innovators\, AI technology companies and digital library solutions. \nCORE’s mission is central to the success of the OA movement. CORE was established in direct response to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI\, 2001) declaration\, which recommends the green self-archiving route to OA. The declaration states that: “When these archives conform to standards created by the Open Archives Initiative\, then search engines and other tools can treat the separate archives as one. Users then need not know which archives exist or where they are located in order to find and make use of their contents.” The importance of this mission was further highlighted by the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) statement on interoperability (2011)\, which envisages a “… seamless layer of content through connected repositories …”. CORE\, as an aggregator implementing the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)\, directly fulfils this role by establishing an infrastructure service enabling others (including machines) to discover\, access and reuse open access content via a seamless harmonised interface.   \n\nWhile CORE has served the community for over 10 years\, the journey hasn’t been without financial and organisational challenges\, with CORE’s income streams being several times under threat. In order to diversify income and increase resilience\, CORE has been building a community support mechanism in the form of a voluntary CORE Membership programme\, inspired by the sustainability streams of other open scholarly infrastructure services.  \n\nThis webinar will present what CORE is\, positioning it within the OA landscape and explain its functionalities and value for institutions and data providers. We will discuss sustainability and how CORE is committed to the Principles of Open Science Infrastructure. We will briefly mention the voluntary CORE Membership programme\, which will be launching on the day of the seminar and allow institutions to participate in shaping the future of the service. The presentation will be followed by a short panel who will talk about sustainability of OS services.  \n\n  \n\nRegister for this recording \n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\nTranscript \n\nThe recording including transcript will be available shortly on the UKSG free webinars channel. \n\n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate.

Advancing equity and openness in scholarship: A view from MIT – Chris Bourg\, MIT \n\n\n\nFrom launching Open CourseWare twenty years ago to passing one of the first faculty open access policies in the US in 2009\, MIT has a long history of supporting and advancing openness in education and scholarship. In recent years\, open advocates at MIT have increasingly incorporated a focus on equity in our efforts\, based on a belief that equitable opportunity to contribute to scholarship is as important to the integrity and usefulness of scholarship as is open and equitable access to read and use scholarly products. In this talk\, Chris Bourg\, Director of Libraries at MIT\, will talk about progress and potential for understanding\, advancing\, and sustaining open and equitable scholarship at MIT and through collective action with other institutions.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Bourg \n\n\n\nMIT \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nChris Bourg is the Director of Libraries at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, and founding director of the Center for Research on Equitable and Open Scholarship (CREOS). \n\n\n\nChris has extensive experience promoting equitable and open scholarship\, and is an advocate for the role of libraries in promoting social justice and democracy. Chris co-chaired the MIT Ad Hoc Task Force on the Future of Libraries and the MIT Ad Hoc Task Force on Open Access to MIT’s Research\, and is a member of the National Academies of Science\, Engineering and Medicine Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n2. From open access to open science for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) – Rachel Bruce – UK Research and Innovation Strategy \n\n\n\nOpen science is a strategic priority for UKRI\, the UK’s largest public research funder.  Working in partnership across the research environment is essential to progress open science and to bring about more accessible\, transparent and re-useable research.   In this talk Rachel Bruce will describe the UKRI open research strategy and reflect on partnership with a range of stakeholders\, including libraries and publishers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Bruce \n\n\n\nUK Research and Innovation Strategy \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRachel Bruce is Head of Open Research at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Rachel has worked in research policy and digital scholarship\, including infrastructure development\, across national organisations including the former Higher Education Funding Council\, Jisc and the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). She has overseen national and international programmes\, that develop digital infrastructure for information and scholarship that have resulted in long-term sustainable services. She is an expert in open science and has been an expert adviser to the European Commission and was the UK representative on the European Open Science Cloud Governance Board. \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\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\n14.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout Session – Group B \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments and exhibition viewing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreakout session – Group C \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17.00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLightning Session 1 \n\n\n\n1. Wait! What? There’s lots of vital stuff missing from the scholarly record! – Toby Green\, Coherent Digital \n\n\n\nThe scholarly record has always comprised *more* than books and journals – pamphlets\, reports\, working papers etc\, i.e. the much-ignored and often-misunderstood ‘grey literature’. Curiously\, digital makes it harder for the “more” to be included in today’s scholarly record and much is now missing. What makes this urgent is that Web 2.0 has unleashed a huge increase in born-digital grey stuff (all of the above but now also tweets\, blog posts etc). In this lightning talk you’ll learn about the extent of the problem and a project that’s trying to address it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToby Green \n\n\n\nCoherent Digital \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nToby\, Publisher\, Policy Commons and Co-Founder of Coherent Digital\, has 35+ years experience in scholarly\, policy and professional publishing. Previously\, he held a variety of senior roles with OECD Publishing and Elsevier Science. Besides the formal stuff\, Toby has wrestled with data publishing and is now trying to tame grey literature. He is a regular speaker at publishing and librarian events in Europe and North America. He serves as expert advisor to the Open Research Community.

Influential Researcher: tackling researcher engagement with metrics through personalised action plans – James Barnett\, University of Birmingham \n\n\n\nAt University of Birmingham\, the Library Services Research Skills Team have been part of a successful ‘Influential Researcher’ programme\, supporting academic researchers with gaining a sense of agency over the range of metrics\, personal identifiers (PIDs) and online publication profiles that are intrinsic to research culture. This lightning talk explores the background of the ‘Influential Researcher’ programme\, its development through the lens of responsible metrics\, and highlights how running ‘Online Publication Profile’ workshops (where attendees are sent a personalised action plan prior to the session) give time-poor researchers a practical set of steps for curating their online identities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Barnett \n\n\n\nUniversity of Birmingham \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJames Barnett has been a Research Skills Advisor for Library Services at the University of Birmingham since 2019\, having previously worked as an Academic Liaison Librarian at Coventry University.

Decisions made about how to implement these features can have implications for the long-term sustainability and preservability of the publications. In a project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and led by NYU Libraries\, our teams evaluated a variety of enhanced publications for preservability and developed a set of guidelines to be used by publishers\, authors\, and platform developers to improve the likelihood that these publications can be preserved. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Hanson \n\n\n\nPortico\, ITHAKA \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKaren is the Senior Research Developer at Portico\, a digital preservation archive for scholarly content.

But how do universities navigate this complex landscape\, and how does this activity align with their broader missions around teaching and research? Once known as the ‘third mission’ or ‘third leg of the stool’\, I argue that Knowledge Exchange is now a critical and integral part of how universities deliver their mission and strategies. As both government policy and KE practice evolves\, how can all parts of the university work together to deliver for their regions\, and how might this benefit the university? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHamish McAlpine \n\n\n\nOxentia \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nOxentia is Oxford’s global innovation consultancy.

Universities put in their place – Sue Black  \n\n\n\nAt one extreme a university may operate irrespective of the geographical location it inhabits whilst at the other\, it may be the very life blood of its community. The Government’s current focus on the role of ‘place’\, regional growth and the levelling up agenda\, poses an interesting dilemma for some\, but opportunity for others\, to reconsider their function as an anchor institution within their community. We will explore this using examples from Lancaster University’s civic journey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSue Black \n\n\n\nLancaster University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nProfessor Dame Sue Black is Pro Vice Chancellor for Engagement at Lancaster University.

The ESAC community also develops community resources and guidelines to empower librarians as they move into the era of open access\, including the ESAC Workflow Recommendations\, ESAC Transformative Agreement Registry\, and most recently\, the ESAC Market Watch and the ESAC Reference Guide to Transformative Agreements. The presentation will introduce how the community can learn from a number of key trends in the demographics and distribution of scholarly journal publishing in transition\, and use these to better understand their position in the scholarly publishing market and make strategic considerations regarding their interactions with publishers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Der \n\n\n\nMax Planck Digital Library \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAdam Der is a member of the licence management team of the Max Planck Digital Library\, where his main responsibilities are in publisher negotiations to advance the open access transition in scholarly publishing.

Exploring the link between Open Access publication and perceived output quality at a small public research university in Hampshire – University of Winchester \n\n\n\nThe REF 2021 Open Access mandate was established in recognition of the benefits of OA publication and in an effort to increase the proportion of UK-funded research that is openly accessible. The REF is\, however\, primarily an assessment of research quality\, not availability. As researchers and academics selected their best outputs for REF submission\, the possibility arose that an association would be implied between openness and quality. In order to find out whether this had happened at the University of Winchester\, research-active staff were invited to complete a survey measuring the likelihood that they would choose Green and Gold OA for outputs that they perceived to be of particularly high quality. The results show that there may in fact be a perception amongst Winchester academics that Open Access is more appropriate for very good outputs than for those perceived to be mediocre. The implications of this are briefly discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Barlow \n\n\n\nUniversity of Winchester \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nJacqueline Barlow has held the position of Open Access Officer at the University of Winchester since September 2017.

Many sadlyy are not archived in a long-term digital preservation scheme\, and so something needs to be done to prevent these journals from vanishing from the internet. A team of organisations have come together to find a solution that will decrease the number of unarchived journals. This is project JASPER.The first phase (now ongoing) is a pilot to check if journals indexed in DOAJ will engage with archiving services when prompted to do so and with the offer of help. DOAJ acts as a conduit for the journals and a single point of contact for participating preservation services (initially CLOCKSS\, Internet Archive\, and PKP-PN). Preserved content then appears in the Keepers Registry.In phase two we will expand to support more journals and to involve more preservation services in hope that the content will be preserved by at least three services\, in line with best practice.The lightning talk will focus on lessons learned and next steps.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlicia Wise \n\n\n\nCLOCKSS \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAlicia Wise is Executive Director of CLOCKSS\, a community of research libraries and academic publishers working together to ensure the long-term preservation of the scholarly record.

The near reverence with which students used to regard serious newspapers had largely evaporated and\, in some cases\, been replaced with outright contempt. I taught scholarly research and writing at the start of our new millennium and\, like most of my colleagues\, I encouraged skepticism toward the media. We taught our students that even the most prestigious newspapers shouldn’t be taken for gospel and that all articles were susceptible to error and bias. Today\, this kind of instruction is neither necessary nor helpful. For the most part\, students are already skeptical of the media and\, where they detect opinions in news sources different from their own\, they are increasingly likely to dismiss everything in those sources as fundamentally unreliable. In this session\, we will consider the main reasons students have lost faith in the media and explore non-naïve and responsible ways of building it back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Blackwell \n\n\n\nNewsbank \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAfter many years at ProQuest\, Adam recently moved to Newsbank.

What strategies are being applied on both national and institutional levels\, why and how? A panel discussion will hear from library consortial and national approaches as to why they changed their funding strategies to include OS infrastructure\, which we hope will give others the confidence to do the same. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

So\, will there be any need for this usage data in an increasingly open access environment? This session discusses this question in the context of emerging community action business models and asks if usage statistics are relevant in evaluating the investment libraries are making in open access journal and book content. If usage statistics are relevant\, whose usage? The usage by members of the institution or the usage made by people in the wider world? Finally\, this session will discuss what COUNTER has been doing over the course of the last year to explore these questions\, and how COUNTER reports could develop as a result. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCounter \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen\, Executive Director at COUNTER Metrics and Founder of Mellins-Cohen Consulting\, joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

Perceptions differ about what constitutes ‘open’ in terms of the wide variety of systems and solutions deployed by libraries.                         \n\n\n\nWith the rise of cloud computing\, software ‘platforms’ are on the rise. The value of a platform. as opposed to a software ‘product’ comes not only from its own features\, but from its ability to connect to external solutions\, data\, and processes. To do this it needs to be ‘open’ in terms of data and the ability to integrate\, via (typically open) application programming Interfaces (APIs)\, with other products which may be developed by customers or provided by other independent software vendors (ISVs).   The result is that we see open source library system platforms such as Folio integrating with proprietary software solutions such as reading lists. Equally we see proprietary library system platforms making use of open source software and enabling third parties to integrate to add functionality and re-use data and services provides by the platform.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKen Chad \n\n\n\nKen Chad Consulting Ltd \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nKen gained his Master’s degree from the Information Science Department at City University in London.

Since then\, the Austrian Academic Library Consortium has concluded deals with all major publishers and increasingly with society and university presses as well. This session will explore the challenges encountered while searching for a fair and sustainable cost-sharing model in a world in transition to Open Access\, where the costs for reading and publishing continue to coexist. We will present the first transformative cost-sharing model\, rolled out for two major agreements (Wiley and Springer)\, and provide an honest account of our experience to date. We will also give an overview of the AT2OA Post Transition Study\, which builds on the methodology developed by Schimmer et al.\, and how this has influenced our current approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRita Pinhasi \n\n\n\nUniversity of Vienna \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nA graduate of UCL\, Rita Pinhasi joined Vienna University Library in 2017\, where she has been involved in the negotiations of various institutional and national Open Access publishing agreements\, from data analysis through workflows to licensing.

Engaging the community in shaping OA policy for books. \n\n\n\nThe Open Access Books Network (OABN) is a relatively new kid on the block\, but it punches above its weight. Our most significant series so far was the Voices from the OA Books Community\, devoted to exploring different aspects of policy for OA books. \n\n\n\nDuring the heated discussions\, what were the main areas of consensus and which topics emerged as especially controversial? Which aspects of OA policy for books perplexed the community and provoked more questions than answers? In this session we will hear from session leaders and participants as they paint a nuanced picture of a necessary but complex endeavour: how to directly engage the OA books community in developing policies that will materially affect its future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanessa Proudman \n\n\n\nSCOSS/SPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nVanessa Proudman is Director of SPARC Europe\, where she is working to make Open the default in Europe.

Libraries and non-profit publishers often share similar missions\, but existing structures on both sides can work to create barriers to collaboration. The system remains configured to work with paid subscriptions or perpetual licensing\, alongside print procurement\, which can work against implementing OA models. What are the major structural impediments for OA? How can smaller and non-profit presses cooperate with libraries to create OA positive structures? We will use the Jisc Open Access Community Framework\, MIT Press’s D2O\, and PLoS CAP models as case studies for change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgata Morka \n\n\n\nSPARC Europe \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelen Dobson \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nHelen is a Licensing portfolio specialist for research content at Jisc.

Yet we lack a framework for assessing the combined value of the open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide. Perceived and actual value and price vary according to whether an institution is a major content producer (publish institution) or content consumer (read institution). To assess the value from these differing perspectives\, we’ll use top-down data from Delta Think’s OA Data & Analytics Tool and bottom up data from Our Research’s Unsub. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Levine-Clark \n\n\n\nUniversity of Denver \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMichael Levine-Clark is Dean of the University of Denver Libraries\, where he has worked in various positions since 1999.

Somewhat surprisingly\, most attention has been focused on algorithms\, yet the corpus may be even more important\, from the point of view of potential bias. There is already plenty of experience within the library at measuring the take-up and effect (and limitations) of digital tools. Using some real-life case studies\, this presentation gives suggestions for assessing AI tools compared with current manual processes\, and considers how use cases can help identify new ways of deploying of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Upshall \n\n\n\nUNSILO\, a Division of Cactus Communications \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTracking the open access book: what data do research institutions and libraries need in support of their strategies around open access books? \n\n\n\nWith momentum for Open Access (OA) books on the rise\, there have been calls by various stakeholders to open up the library and develop OA book infrastructures to further support the transition to OA for books. One of the key infrastructures for OA books is the OAPEN Library that helps stakeholders tracking usage of OA books. During this session we will show how OAPEN can provide usage data for different stakeholders and seek to explore additional kinds of data that libraries may find useful to inform their OA book strategies and decision-making processes to support OA book publishing initiatives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Mosterd \n\n\n\nDOAB & OAPEN\, Open Access Books Network \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTom Mosterd is the Community Manager for DOAB & OAPEN.

This paper will explore the challenges of turning these ideals into practical action. It will ask what practically can be effected by librarians. Does this situation require a revolution? If not\, can significant reform be achieved within existing power structures? Or are these notions fundamentally impossible\, and academic libraries should resign themselves to an accommodation with commercialism and look for other values in their partnerships? \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.
