Workshop Summary

A highly practical one-day workshop developing knowledge, skills and confidence to support academic librarians and consortia members engaged in negotiating with publishers and other vendors for electronic resources. Librarians will be able to apply what they learn immediately to ongoing and future negotiations, both new deals and renewals.

Context for this Workshop

• Electronic resources continue to bring major change to the provision of teaching and research information, hugely impacting the role and responsibilities of librarians.

• The rise of the licence, the demise of the ‘list price’, tailored deals, new rights and responsibilities, new users, and new ways of delivering, using and sharing information are all part of the evolving complexity.

• At the same time, some things have not changed: publishers still seek to maximise usage, market presence and income, whilst libraries and consortia seek to best serve their users, often within the constraints of rising costs and pressured budgets.

• In order to navigate these challenges – and make the most of the considerable opportunities – negotiation has become an essential part of the acquisition process.

• It follows that libraries and consortia need staff with solid negotiation skills, and yet good quality training in this area is noticeably absent from LIS qualifications.

• This practical and popular course has been created to meet this need, informing and empowering librarians, growing their confidence, knowledge and skills, and helping them to get the best from every negotiation.

Is this Workshop for You?

Negotiation Skills for Librarians has been written for serials and acquisitions librarians and consortia members involved in the acquisition of electronic resources in academic institutions or on behalf of academic consortia*. Written at an introductory-intermediate level, the workshop is for those who are new to negotiations or who have some negotiation experience and are seeking a ‘refresher’ and/or additional tips, skills and knowledge. It will also benefit those being trained to undertake purchasing roles in the future. More experienced negotiators are welcome to attend but are asked to be aware of the intended level of this workshop. The workshop focuses on e-journals and other serially published content (although some of the learning will support eBook/database acquisition).

*Although the primary focus of the course is on e-resources acquisition in an academic environment, information/knowledge workers in public libraries and corporations are welcome. Equally, although the course is designed primarily for those new or relatively new to publisher negotiations, more experienced negotiators have found it to be of great benefit.

Brief History

This workshop has been delivered to library and consortia staff in the UK and Eire (on behalf of UKSG), continental Europe and the Middle East since 2008. Of the 450+ librarians who have taken the workshop to date, 100% would recommend it to colleagues and the vast majority rated their learning experience as either ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.

(A five-week online course has been developed to meet demand from international colleagues who cannot attend the in-person workshop: please contact: sarah@sarahdurrant.co.uk for further information.)

Feedback

Here’s what was said after the 2017 event:“An excellent workshop and I have learnt many strategies and tips which I am eager to use and implement in future work (and personal) negotiations.”“Thank you. I have found it an interesting day and the balance of lectures vs. discussion/exercises worked well.”“A fabulous course – one of the most practical I have been on with real techniques and strategies I can employ in my role and personal life.”

The innovation game: breaking the rules – #UKSGforum16

This year the Forum’s focus is on innovation. Not all invention comes out of the ‘light bulb’ moment, often innovation is born out of periods of adversity where bending or breaking our preconceived ideas is the only way forward. In such environments, new business models, new workflows, new offers, new collaborations can form to overcome such barriers and UKSG Forum delegates want to hear about them.

What’s the football connection?

It was on the site of the Grand Connaught Rooms in 1863 that the Football Association was established and the rules of the game that is now played around the world were first agreed.

In recognition of this piece of international sporting history, UKSG Forum delegates are invited to dress in a manner that celebrates the beautiful game.

There will be a bottle of champagne for the delegate judged to be wearing the most suitable attire. (The referee’s decision will be final!)

The scholarly communications ecosystem: understanding and responding to evolving expectations

The formats and forums for sharing research and scholarship continue to evolve. Are academics revelling in more choice, or finding themselves bewildered by new complexities? Should we expect further change as the demographic profile of the workplace begins to shift towards digital natives? How are libraries and publishers adapting their content and services to reflect changing behaviours and expectations? What new initiatives are helping to meet researchers’ needs – or threatening others’ role in doing so? Our expert speakers will attempt to answer these questions and hopefully help to shape both strategy and practice for UKSG members and delegates of all types. The day will include lots of time for networking, too. It promises to be our most thought-provoking one-day conference yet, on a popular topic, so book early to avoid disappointment!
