SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 26th (13:00 start) & 27th September (9:30 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 26\, 2023 – 13:00toWednesday\, September 27\, 2023 – 12:30 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately registrations are now closed to be put on the waitlist should any become available click here \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\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\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\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\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\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\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates. Our aim is to make presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible. \n\n\n\nHere’s how we achieve that: \n\n\n\n\nClosed Captioning Options: Our GoToWebinar application allows you to toggle closed captioning on or off during live sessions.

His work focuses on research support\, strategic publishing\, open access and research data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s no use: making sense of data which may not be as it seems \n\n\n\nImperial’s Acquistions team has been buying etextbooks and using usage stats as evidence for a number of years. Recently\, it has emerged that these usage stats may not be exactly what they appear to be. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Andrew will outline how we can make sense of what a usage statistic actually is – and how usage statistics can differ wildly – and will ask how much we can rely on usage data to inform our purchasing policies. \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\n10.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values \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. \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 the Research & Open Scholarship Senior Manager at the University of Sussex. She has worked in academic library roles since 2006 and currently leads the design and delivery of Library services to support research and open scholarship\, embedding principles Open Research and Scholarship in policy\, practice\, and culture across the University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:25 \n\n\n\n\n\nAltmetrics – if you look beyond the numbers\, you’ll find meanings \n\n\n\nAltmetrics or alternative indicators of scholarly interest can tell us a lot about research and how it is being received beyond the traditional citation and impact factor scores\, that much we know. But what else can altmetrics tell us about our research world\, especially producing the outputs\, communicating them and what opportunities can we leverage from all of this? We’re not yet using altmetrics to their full potential but in the course of this short talk Andy will provide a few insights on how we can make better use of this data to gain a better grasp and understanding of our scholarly world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Tattersall \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nRole of JUSP in gathering usage statistics and informing decision making \n\n\n\nJUSP save libraries time and effort by collecting and collating usage statistics into one place. JUSP’s reports and visualisations allow libraries to focus more effort on analysing and monitoring use\, value and impact of resources. In this presentation\, we will look at how JUSP works\, the importance the COUNTER and SUSHI standards\, and provide examples of how JUSP’s reports and visualisations can help libraries make data informed decisions when it comes to renewing\, purchasing\, and promoting e-resources \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Wong \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLaura Wong is product manager for two COUNTER-based usage statistics services (JUSP and IRUS) and works within the Jisc licensing intelligence and analytics team.

I’ll attempt to give an overview of some of these changes\, focusing particularly on community-led projects I’m involved with\, such as COPIM’s Open Book Futures; policy changes\, including UKRI and the PALOMERA project; and the rise in collective models to support the costs of OA book publishing. I’ll cover some of the challenges these changes pose\, but also the potential for a shift that brings many more readers to the academic book. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Barnes  \n\n\n\nOpen Book Publishers  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLucy Barnes is Senior Editor and Outreach Coordinator at Open Book Publishers\, a leading non-profit\, scholar-led Open Access book publisher based in Cambridge\, UK. She also works on outreach for the Copim Open Book Futures project and is on the board of the ScholarLed collective. She coordinates the Open Access Books Network (oabooksnetwork.org) in collaboration with OAPEN\, OPERAS\, and SPARC Europe\, and she is on the Editorial Advisory Board for the OAPEN Open Access Books Toolkit. She is also part of the PALOMERA project on OA book policy.

This talk will focus on our development in relation to the OA landscape to this point\, and next steps on how we intend to build on that growth\, while continuing to support the wider OA community. \n\n\n\nWRUP contributes to initiatives like the Jisc New University Press Toolkit\, co-created a series of Mythbusting workshops focusing on open access monographs\, and is also a founding member of the new Open Institutional Publishing Association; activities which aim to support and drive the OA publishing community. As a Library Publisher\, with other institutional and scholar-led publishing initiatives\, this talk will hopefully show how we are working together to shape a new way forward. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLucy Cook  \n\n\n\nWhite Rose University Press \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLucy is the Publishing and Communications Assistant for White Rose University Press\, and is based at the University of York.

How do we go about unlocking longform scholarship? UK-authored shortform scholarship now has very high rates of open access. By contrast\, UK-authored longform scholarship remains largely unavailable to the UK public that helps fund its creation. At Arcadia we believe that equitable open access to longform scholarship is eminently achievable\, given sufficient will. Providing open access to scholarship isn’t just for those with ‘external grants’\, it is for everyone. This talk will explore the variety of ways of doing open access monograph publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoss Mounce \n\n\n\nArcadia  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\n Ross is Director of Open Access Programmes at Arcadia – a charitable foundation that works to protect nature\, preserve cultural heritage and promote open access to knowledge.

In our pilot year\, we are aiming to make 20 frontlist monographs in African Studies and International Development open access immediately upon publication. In this talk I’ll share our aims and motivations\, explain how the model works and why we designed it this way\, and explore what we’ve learnt so far and what might come next. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRos Pyne  \n\n\n\nBloomsbury Academic  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRos Pyne is Global Director\, Research and Open Access at Bloomsbury Academic.

Kriterium is a way of awarding a quality label to academic research\, with a certification that ensures and shows that a scientific publication has undergone a controlled and documented peer review process. Books with the Kriterium label are also made freely available online. \n\n\n\nKriterium is a collaborative venture between Swedish universities and Swedish publishers\, with representatives from the Swedish Research Council\, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond\, the National Library of Sweden. \n\n\n\nThe Kriterium portal is open to academic research from all institutions of higher education and independent scholars. Kriterium is primarily intended for research and researchers with a Swedish connection\, and will thus uphold the tradition of academic books published in Sweden. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUlf Zander \n\n\n\nLund University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nUlf Zander is Professor in history at Lund University\, Sweden.

SUMMARY:Publication to press: building trust in research communication - online seminar 2023
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 that takes place over one day – Tuesday 27th June – 10:00 to 15:30 BST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nApril 08 2024 – 08:00toApril 10 2024 – 13:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nScottish Event Campus (SEC)Glasgow\, G3 8YWUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nHow research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders\, journals and the media organisation. Ultimately it should be of the highest importance to policy makers and society. Yet\, in a world where research is increasingly published Open Access there is still a failure to include all of the relevant pieces of information\, such as links to the research paper\, especially on a local level.   \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and would benefit from a greater understanding of how they could benefit by their greater collaboration. Librarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual information\, yet that is undermined by missing out key elements that can underpin a news story\, such as an article or funder link.   \n\n\n\nAcademics 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. Whilst Altmetrics can help this\, it often fails to pick up mentions\, due to the aforementioned problems. The 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 research communication. It is much harder for a journalist to apply bias or cherry pick a piece of research if they have to cite a freely available research article or lay summary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.  \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\nSocial \n\n\n\n\n\nFollow the conference on X formally 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\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

Nita was previously at the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) where she oversaw their portfolio of projects focused around training and upskilling anaesthesia providers in low and middle income countries. Prior to that\, at the Fairtrade Foundation\, Nita led the policy and research team before developing the organisation’s work on the impact assessment and evaluation of Fairtrade projects. She has extensive experience of working on complex global projects and programmes and working with\, and coordinating diverse teams. Nita has also worked at Consumers International\, the Overseas Development Institute and ActionAid. Nita also has a PhD in Microbiology and a Masters in Public Health Nutrition from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAI: the end of publishing as we know it or a Brave New World \n\n\n\nSince ChatGPT was unleashed in late 2022 it has taken the academic world by storm\, causing concern about the impact it will have on teaching and research. But some of the early predictions have already been disproved. So what can Large Language Models (LLM) do in the research area? What are the implications? Is it all bad? The reality is no-one knows and the landscape is shifting very quickly\, but this talk will attempt to shine light on the current debate. It will be out of date as soon as it is finished. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDanny Kingsley  \n\n\n\nAustralian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDr Danny Kingsley is an Australian-based thought leader in the international scholarly communication space. She took up the position of Community Manager for the Southern Hemisphere at OAPEN in August 2023 and is a Visiting Fellow at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.

She established Open Access Australasia in 2013. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.15 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.25 \n\n\n\n\n\nProprietary software has failed: a community-driven open source security proposal \n\n\n\nFollowing a number of high-profile cyber attacks on UK universities\, many libraries are rethinking the prevalent UK approach to library systems: a reliance on proprietary software that has failed to protect their users’ data and a management approach to outsourcing systems that has reduced the numbers and skills of in-house technical staff. 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\nColin Angus  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nColin Angus is a mathematical modeller in the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield. His research mostly uses complex computer models to answer questions about the potential impact of alcohol policy and has played a major role in the development of policies such as Minimum Unit Pricing in Scotland and the UK’s low risk drinking guidelines. He also developed a side hustle in COVID analysis during the pandemic. He is a strong believer in the power of a good graph\, and spends altogether too much time drawing graphs and posting them on Twitter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Importance of Choice: Balancing Journal Types in the Publishing Ecosystem \n\n\n\nIn an increasingly competitive publishing market\, authors have both too many options\, and not enough options. As the landscape continues to evolve\, it is important to balance the mix of titles published by commercial and independent publishers\, in order to provide researchers with a variety of different types of journals to support their individual publishing needs. Society-owned journals in particular have a vital role to play in ensuring diversity and quality in scholarly publishing. They are often able to provide a unique perspective on emerging topics and can offer a platform for underrepresented voices in the field. Yet there are risks to this vibrant and diverse landscape\, and society-owned journals are facing increasing pressures. This talk aims to provide practical suggestions for how the industry can achieve a balance\, and will highlight the benefits of doing so for researchers\, publishers\, and the wider community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobyn Mugridge  \n\n\n\nFrontiers  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRobyn joined Frontiers in 2018\, having previously worked for several other international publishers including Springer Nature and the NIHR Journals Library.

Why should we do this and how can we do this effectively? How do we develop a media strategy\, and prepare for media interviews? In this short presentation I’ll provide an overview of some tips and tricks on media engagement that I’ve picked up during my career thus far\, with a focus on the benefits to us as academics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaria McNamara \n\n\n\nUniversity College Cork \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nMaria is Professor of Palaeontology at the School of Biological\, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork. Her primary research interests are in the field of soft tissue preservation in fossils\, with particular focus on fossil colour and on feather evolution. She uses advanced microbeam and spectroscopic techniques to explore the ultrastructure and chemistry of soft tissues in fossils and their extant analogues\, with a strong emphasis on taphonomic experiments to help bridge the gap between ancient and modern materials. Her current research on ancient biomolecules\, including melanin and keratin\, is supported in part by two ERC grants (Starting and Consolidator Grants). Maria is committed to public engagement to help diversify palaeontology and STEM more broadly and to inspire an appreciation of the natural world amongst the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nPublications\, impact and media work – a research organisation perspective \n\n\n\nThe way government invests in research has changed significantly over recent years\, demanding more evidence of research impact and a structured approach to evaluation is vital to making the case. Influencing government decisions through media engagement is also vital. This talk will cover how a research institute\, working closely with the library team\, used bibliometric data\, research evaluation and media engagement to successfully make the case for a £90M investment and set the scene for a much bigger investment to follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara Fletcher  \n\n\n\nISIS Neutron and Muon Source \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSara Fletcher is Head of Impact and Evaluation at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source – a publicly funded research organisation.

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).

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.

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.

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.

But the framework\, knowledge and possible implementation of these new standards seem diverse and somehow not consistent enough to produce sustainable change. This breakout session aims to frame the field\, layout strategic options and dwell into concrete cases. \n\n\n\nThe moderators are members of the LIBER “Citizen Science Working Group”. In this session\, we will illustrate the interests\, the thrill and the achievements working to improve the academic mission in order to better serve the society. \n\n\n\nBridging the gap: SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center as facilitator between science as society (Anne Kathrine Overgaard) \n\n\n\nPolicy and strategy: International trends\, guidelines and recommendations (Thomas Kaarsted) \n\n\n\nStrategy and implementation: Supporting Citizen Science in the UCL Office for Open Science & Scholarship (Kirsty Wallis) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Kaarsted \n\n\n\nUniversity of Southern Denmark \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nThomas Kaarsted is Deputy Library Director and daily manager of SDU Citizen Science.

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.

DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; specifically for librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. The seminar will take place online over two half days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 21\, 2023 – 11:00 GMTtoWednesday\, February 22\, 2023 – 14:00 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately the seminar is fully booked. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, Q&A and some homework \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed specifically for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements\, and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focussed and times are in BST\, 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\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n•    understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries•    be familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences•    be familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources•    understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation•    be aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution•    understand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing•    be aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations. \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\nRecording \n\n\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\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.

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. If you would like a copy of the transcript please feel free to contact samira@uksg.org). \n\nSlides \n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to open access - 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.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 1\, 2022 – 10:00 GMTtoTuesday\, November 1\, 2022 – 10:00 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nScottish Event Campus (SEC)Glasgow\, G3 8YWUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed \n\n\n\nNote: a small amount of pre-reading is suggested in advance of the seminar\, a link will be sent to you on registration \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\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThe 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 course will give a basic introduction to this rapidly evolving area. In particular it will: \n\n\n\n\nexplain how new policies (eg Plan S) are affecting compliance requirements \n\n\n\n\n\nprovide an overview of the research and funding landscape \n\n\n\n\n\noutline the key stages in the publication lifecycle of a journal article from submission to publication\, noting the key differences between Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nsummarise the typical requirements for compliance with government policies and funder mandates\, and relate these to the publication routes for Green and Gold publication\n\n\n\n\n\nthe complementary roles of publishers\, libraries and intermediaries in supporting these stages\, and the typical activities that they each perform during the life-cycle\n\n\n\n\n\nexplain the part that preprints play in scholarly communication\n\n\n\n\n\n look at selected services\, systems and standards designed to support and manage the process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy you should attend \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be valuable to those working in research management\, libraries\, publishers and intermediaries. It will be useful for new entrants at practitioner level wishing to gain an overview of processes and players\, but also for senior managers needing a summary of a rapidly growing area. Whilst some elements may focus more specifically on the policy and compliance context in the UK\, it will nevertheless also be of relevance to international members.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the key stages in publication of a journal article in relation to open access and compliance  \n\n\n\n\n\nBe able to summarise typical compliance criteria\, and relate these to the publication lifecycle   \n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the basic roles of funders\, research managers\, libraries\, publishers\, intermediaries at each stage  \n\n\n\n\n\nBe aware of the key services\, systems and metadata standards which support workflows  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course offers an introductory\, entry-level overview and no previous knowledge is required\, although some awareness of the different types of scholarly journals and open access models (such as Green and Gold) may be useful.    \n\n\n\nPlease note that this is not a detailed practical or technical course and it will not go into detail about how specific services or systems function\, or how to optimise workflows. Instead the course gives a high-level\, introductory overview of the essential elements of processes and systems\, providing the conceptual foundation for other more specific training in the use of particular services and systems.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting Information package \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis will be sent to registered delegates in advance of the seminar. The course organisers have compiled an optional Open Access pre-Course Reading List for attendees – all items will be openly available.  In addition\, we encourage delegates to listen to the recording of the UKSG webinar on Working with Open Access (7 October 2019) which introduces the basic concepts of Open Access and how they work together to build wider access to knowledge.   \n\n\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\nRecording \n\n\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\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.

The seminar will be delivered over two mornings\, and delegates will be asked to use the time in between sessions to reflect on some of the issues raised. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned particularly for staff who are new to working with e-resources\, whether from a publisher\, an intermediary or a library\, this seminar may also be of interest to those looking to consolidate and update their e-resources knowledge. \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\n \n\n\n\n\nTo gain practical tips on managing e-resources which can be applied in the workplace\n\n\n\nTo gain a basic understanding of the serials supply chain and the factors influencing it\, including Open Access\n\n\n\nTo understand and learn how to build relationships between publishers\, intermediaries and libraries\n\n\n\nTo learn how to have informed conversations with customers/suppliers\n\n\n\nTo gain insight into the practical aspects of managing e-books\n\n\n\nTo share experiences with other delegates and discuss questions and challenges which arise during the seminar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroductory and non-intensive\, entry-level training for the beginner\, novice or returner.  \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 X formally 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\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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).

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.

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.

But the framework\, knowledge and possible implementation of these new standards seem diverse and somehow not consistent enough to produce sustainable change. This breakout session aims to frame the field\, layout strategic options and dwell into concrete cases. \n\n\n\nThe moderators are members of the LIBER “Citizen Science Working Group”. In this session\, we will illustrate the interests\, the thrill and the achievements working to improve the academic mission in order to better serve the society. \n\n\n\nBridging the gap: SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center as facilitator between science as society (Anne Kathrine Overgaard) \n\n\n\nPolicy and strategy: International trends\, guidelines and recommendations (Thomas Kaarsted) \n\n\n\nStrategy and implementation: Supporting Citizen Science in the UCL Office for Open Science & Scholarship (Kirsty Wallis) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas Kaarsted \n\n\n\nUniversity of Southern Denmark \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nThomas Kaarsted is Deputy Library Director and daily manager of SDU Citizen Science.

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.

SUMMARY:UKSG Licensing Skills for Librarians Online Seminar 2022
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. The seminar will take place online over two half days. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 29\, 2022 – 10:30 BSTtoWednesday\, March 30\, 2022 – 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is closed  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, group sessions and some homework. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed specifically for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\n\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n•    understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries•    be familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences•    be familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources•    understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation•    be aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution•    understand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing•    be aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations. \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\nRecording \n\n\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\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.

SUMMARY:Publication to press: building trust in research communication
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 that takes place over one day – Wednesday 9th February.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, February 9\, 2022 – 10:00 GMTtoWednesday\, February 9\, 2022 – 15:00 GMT \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration closed  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nHow research is communicated should be of the greatest importance to academics\, their organisations\, funders\, journals and the media organisation. Ultimately it should be of the highest importance to policy makers and society. Yet\, in a world where research is increasingly published Open Access there is still a failure to include all of the relevant pieces of information\, such as links to the research paper\, especially on a local level.   \n\n\n\nThose working in the publishing\, media communications\, library and journalism sectors share common ground and would benefit from a greater understanding of how they could benefit by their greater collaboration. Librarians and journalists both work to analyse and deliver factual information\, yet that is undermined by missing out key elements that can underpin a news story\, such as an article or funder link.   \n\n\n\nAcademics 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. Whilst Altmetrics can help this\, it often fails to pick up mentions\, due to the aforementioned problems. The 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 research communication. It is much harder for a journalist to apply bias or cherry pick a piece of research if they have to cite a freely available research article or lay summary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at journalists\, librarians\, publishers and communications professionals in universities and publishing.   \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\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates.

The COVID pandemic presented a rapidly expanding and evolving science coupled with significant scientific uncertainty. There has been much public and political hunger for information\, as well as debate and misinformation\, all amplified and polarized by social media. There is a story to tell\, but the consequences of misinformation can have fatal consequences and cause considerable public harm. Andrew is Reader in Public Health at the University of Sheffield\, and has been sought after by the media for his expertise in communicable disease control\, including BBC News & Newsnight\, Australian Broadcasting Corporation\, the Guardian\, El Mercurio and various radio channels.

SUMMARY:Free UKSG Further Education Webinar Series - Reporting for better budget allocation and improved user experience
DESCRIPTION:Reporting for better budget allocation and improved user experience\n  \n\nThe digital revolution has changed the relationship between libraries/librarians and end-users. Many libraries have had to strengthen their digital presence to survive\, especially over the last 12 months. Part of making libraries accessible and effective is to install tools that allow them to demonstrate and monitor the library’s impact on its users. \n\nIn this talk\, Cristina Ruiz de Asua\, academic librarian at Nescot College\, will be discussing the importance of reporting and the key metrics you need to look out for\, whether it is to identify bottlenecks\, improve services or better allocate budgets. Cristina will also talk about the improvements on user experience she’s carried on during the pandemic\, including the implementation of OpenAthens single sign-on. \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 – Further Education webinar channel. \n\n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate. If you would like a copy of the transcript please feel free to contact samira@uksg.org). \n\nSlides \n\nOur speaker has kindly agreed to make her slides available. You may download them from here. Please use the correct attribution if you wish to refer to them. \n\nQ&A \n\nPlease\, find here the Q&A document that our speaker has kindly produced. \n\n  \n\n

Almost ten years on from the Finch Report\, we continue to be in a time of transition.

SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar 2021
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over one day Tuesday 19th October\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 19\, 2021 – 10:00 BSTtoTuesday\, October 19\, 2021 – 17:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration closed. \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.  There will be the chance to share experiences\, positive and negative\, of using statistics for decision making and 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\nhave an opportunity to discuss and share experiences of gathering and manipulating usage statistics to make financial\, management and service decisions\, as well as evidencing value.\n\n\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\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\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\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\nThank you to our event sponsor \n\n\n\n\n\nACS Publications \n\n\n\nfor more information visit the ACS website \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. Our aim is to make presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible. \n\n\n\nHere’s how we achieve that: \n\n\n\n\nClosed Captioning Options: Our GoToWebinar application allows you to toggle closed captioning on or off during live sessions. You can also customise the text size and colour to suit your preferences.\n\n\n\nAuto-Generated Transcripts: For each recorded session\, we can provide auto-generated transcripts on request. \n\n\n\n\nIf you have particular accessibility requirements or questions about this event\, we strongly encourage you to contact events@uksg.org as soon as possible.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nMorning Afternoon \n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLog in and Housekeeping \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nChair’s welcome and introduction \n\n\n\nMeet our Chair’s and Co-Chairs for the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:10 \n\n\n\n\n\nE-resource renewal: decision-making made simple! \n\n\n\nAn overview of how Anglia Ruskin University approach the renewal of e-resource subscriptions using regular reviews\, calculating a cost per use and submitting a business case when required. Usage and cost data is collated and maintained in a spreadsheet with colour-coding to identify resources that are not performing to our pre-agreed standard. This makes it easier to concentrate our decision-making on resources that are performing less well and documents our reasoning to further support decision-making in subsequent years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Packard  \n\n\n\nAnglia Ruskin University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nI have worked at Anglia Ruskin University for over 20 years in a variety of roles.

SUMMARY:FREE UKSG webinar - Making Open Access Book Funding Work Fairly: Central European University Press and Opening the Future
DESCRIPTION:Open access monograph publishing needs to be sustainable not just for publishers\, but also for libraries. CEU Press’ collective library funding programme ‘Opening the Future’ was designed to be low-cost and simple\, slotting into acquisitions budgets and existing library purchasing workflows. Several months into launch\, we assess how this has fared and discuss how we can scale without increasing the administrative and decision-making burden already on collections and scholarly communications teams\, who are already picking through a tangle of transformative agreements\, pay-to-publish deals\, author affiliations\, and legacy subscriptions. The session will be set in context of the recent UKRI monograph policy announcement. \n  \n\nRegister for this recording \n\nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar here. \n\nTranscript \n\nThe recording\, including transcript\, is available on the UKSG free webinars channel. \n\n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate.

DESCRIPTION:This seminar is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. The seminar will take place online over two half days. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 21\, 2021 – 10:30 BSTtoWednesday\, September 22\, 2021 – 14:00 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is close  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nElectronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources\, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences\, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations\, group sessions and some homework. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you attend? \n\n\n\n\n\nThe online course is designed for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \n\n\n\nJisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector. \n\n\n\nDO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focussed and times are in BST\, 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\nAt the end of the course participants will: \n\n\n\n•    understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing\, and how these impact libraries•    be familiar with the concept of a Model Licence and the important clauses in publisher licences•    be familiar with the principles of successful negotiation of terms and conditions in the context of licensing online information resources•    understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource licence negotiation•    be aware of the legal implications that licence terms have for their institution•    understand the latest issues and concerns related to licensing•    be aware of the issues around licensing for additional users\, including those at partner organisations. \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\nSponsorship  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on event sponsorship options in 2021 please visit the sponsorship page here – now fully booked. \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.

SUMMARY:FREE UKSG webinar - Federated authentication for library resources: can it be trusted?
DESCRIPTION:Library users are increasingly authenticating to online resources from off campus. Access control via campus IP recognition remains but publishers and service providers are increasingly investing in federated single sign on technologies such as SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language). Can libraries trust a platform that asks users to sign in with their personal institutional credentials? This webinar will explain how federated authentication works\, will discuss the benefits for libraries and service providers and address the apparent conflict between offering personalisation whilst still preserving user privacy. \n  \nRegister for this recording \nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \nTranscript \nThe recording including transcript will be available shortly on the UKSG free webinars channel. \n(Please note that webinars have software generated transcripts therefore are not 100% accurate.
