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!

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.

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.)

Workshop Goals

• Learn proven, highly practical negotiation skills and knowledge which you can use immediately in your professional life• Learn The Four Cornerstones – four key strategies which underpin all successful negotiations• Practice The Seven Habits of Effective Negotiation – intelligent negotiation tactics which will help you get the best deal possible, on pricing and on terms• Apply these skills and knowledge to resolve a range of mini-negotiation situations• Learn Six Powerful Questions to help you keep negotiations on track – and a five-step negotiation model recommended by the FBI!• Share your negotiation questions, challenges and concerns in a confidential and supportive environment• Build your confidence in relation to publisher negotiations• Learn a powerful model for developing your personal resilience, a capacity proven to enhance negotiation abilities and outcomes.

Workshop Format

Shrinking horizons? Scholarly communication in an anti-globalisation environment

In recent years the globalisation and open dissemination of research has been a hot topic in the knowledge community – exploring issues such as how we support research dissemination and consumption across borders through the lenses of increasing mobility, technological innovation and diverse global open access, open data and open science agendas. In contrast the last 12 months have been characterised by a contraction in both political and economic terms. What is the impact of government policy, politics and the funding environment on the vitality of the scholarly communication ecosystem?The 2017 UKSG One-Day Conference brings together expert perspectives from the UK and beyond to explore how the world of scholarly communication as we know it is changing in response to the huge political upheaval of our time.

Programme

09.30 Registration and coffee

10.00 Welcome and introduction by the ChairKate Price, University Librarian, Queen Mary University of London10.15 State of the sector: current issues and themes in UK higher education Ant Bagshaw, Deputy Director, Wonkhe

Abstract: What do changes in higher education policy mean for scholarly communications? Ant Bagshaw from HE think tank Wonkhe will explore the changes afoot in UK HE and identify trends and themes impacting universities. He will try to make sense of the complexity by exploring competition, compliance culture and the prospect of further change in the future.10.45 What does Brexit mean for the UK universities?John Ferguson, Director of Global Forecasting, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)

Abstract: Brexit will dominate the outlook for the UK economy in the coming years. Negotiations are currently ongoing, but what type of Brexit will we have? Are we headed for a ‘hard’ Brexit or a transitional agreement? How will this impact the UK economy over the next five years and what are the risks to this forecast? Brexit also poses challenges for the UK university sector, especially related to funding uncertainty and expectations over student enrolments. However, there will also be opportunities. How these are exploited will be the determining factor of Brexit’s impact on UK higher education institutions.11.15 Coffee11.45 ‘The empires of the future are the empires of the mind’: defining the role of libraries in the Open Science landscape Paul Ayris, Pro-Vice-Provost (UCL Library Services), University College London

Abstract: This paper looks at the emerging issues around Open Science and identifies what the role for libraries can be. It does this by looking at four areas: Open Access, Research Data Management, the Library as publisher and Citizen Science. The paper concludes by painting a picture for the Library full of opportunity, but one where current systems and practices need to change.12.15 Putting developing country research production and dissemination into the global context Anne Powell, Programme Manager, Information Access and Publisher Liaison, INASPSioux Cumming, Programme Manager, Journals Online, INASP

Abstract: Many of the world’s most pressing problems are faced by people in the Global South but the international research and publishing landscape is dominated by the Global North. For 25 years INASP has been working with partners in both North and South to redress this imbalance. This presentation will share INASP’s work, both in facilitating access to international literature for Southern researchers and in supporting the visibility and credibility of Southern journals.

12.45 Lunch13.45 Open Research: from the perspective of Wellcome Robert Kiley, Head of Open Research, Wellcome Trust

Abstract: In this session Robert Kiley will look at the current state of open access to publications and the challenges which still persist. Using Wellcome as a case study, Robert will outline the various approaches Wellcome has adopted to provide Wellcome researchers with a range of publishing options, and offer some early thoughts on future directions. Looking beyond publications, the talk will also discuss Wellcome’s approach to outputs sharing and the challenge of aligning incentives to promote the sharing of research outputs. 14.15 Local, national and global research collaborations: multiple choices driven by funding, friendships or facts?Lesley Thompson, Director of Academic and Government Strategic Alliance in the UK, Elsevier

Abstract: The world of research is naturally collaborative – researchers build collaborations and networks naturally – but it is also intensely competitive. At a time when the UK considers its future international relationships post-Brexit and the government looks to strengthen the UK’s economy in part through research and investing in regional strengths including Science and Innovation audits and City Deals, how do individual researchers, universities or the UK make the right choices for collaboration going forward? Would you follow the funding, call a friend or examine the evidence? Some thoughts to be considered will be discussed in this presentation.14.45 Shrinking horizons – or pushing boundaries? Janet Peters, Director of University Libraries and University Librarian, Cardiff University

Abstract: The unique context of Cardiff University as the only Russell Group university in Wales and a member of both the Wales HE Libraries Forum (WHELF) and the GW4 (Great Western Four) consortium is explained, with the challenges and opportunities that this brings. An overview of the current benefits from collaborative working, and some of the dilemmas faced, is provided, with suggestions on how services might need to push their boundaries by thinking and acting more tactically. 15.15 Tea15.45 Panel session with questionschaired by Kate Price, University Librarian, Queen Mary University of London16.45 Closing remarks followed by drinks reception18.30 Close

Our thanks to Helle Lauridsen for the photos!

Now in its fifth year, the UKSG Forum is the essential ‘London-based pre-Christmas’ event in the scholarly communications calendar. Supporting UKSG’s mission ‘to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication’, the UKSG Forum offers short sessions on best practice and interesting projects. This highly anticipated meeting is free for UKSG members to attend, attracting nearly 400 delegates and offering a comprehensive exhibition, together with ample networking opportunities.

This year’s Forum is all about collaboration and adapting to change. How is the scholarly community responding to the unprecedented shifts in our political and educational landscapes? How will this impact on our ‘business-as-usual’ attitude? Is our perennial resilience now tested to its utmost limits? Is not collaborating even an option? Come along and hear how organisations are facing up to these challenges.

The UKSG Forum is, in three words, informal, interactive and informative.

See you in London!

OVERVIEW
Authentication technologies have come a long way from IP recognition and EZ Proxy but most services have not addressed the poor user experience associated with off-campus access, particularly on mobile and tablet devices. In 2017 the conversation around streamlining remote access has moved on from talk to real solutions.
In this webinar Josh Howlett of Jisc will update us on the RA21 initiative, while Phil Leahy will explore why organisations are moving to managed identity management solutions and how OpenAthens has responded to publisher feedback with its new OpenAthens Cloud product.

“I thought that the course was very comprehensive, and was a great introduction. I wish I had attended about two years ago, when I first took on this role, as it would have been even more helpful for me then, but at least it gave me confidence that I know most of what I need to know, but also raised a few questions that I want to investigate further.”

A course from Jisc Collections

Course summary

Electronic 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.

Why you should attend

The 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.

Jisc 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.

Learning objectives

At the end of the course participants will:

• 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.

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.)

Workshop Goals

• Learn proven, highly practical negotiation skills and knowledge which you can use immediately in your professional life• Learn The Four Cornerstones – four key strategies which underpin all successful negotiations• Practice The Seven Habits of Effective Negotiation – intelligent negotiation tactics which will help you get the best deal possible, on pricing and on terms• Apply these skills and knowledge to resolve a range of mini-negotiation situations• Learn Six Powerful Questions to help you keep negotiations on track – and a five-step negotiation model recommended by the FBI!• Share your negotiation questions, challenges and concerns in a confidential and supportive environment• Build your confidence in relation to publisher negotiations• Learn a powerful model for developing your personal resilience, a capacity proven to enhance negotiation abilities and outcomes.

The aim was to audit the accessibility information provided for their e-books/platforms and assess their content and practical usefulness for disabled students and those who support them. This webinar will present some of the key findings of the audit and explore both the implications and the opportunities for libraries.

UKSG Introduction to open access publication lifecycles and compliance
2018-10-30 10:00
A one-day event exploring the increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs.

Previously an area primarily of concern to publishers and intermediaries, the rise of open access and associated ‘compliance’ requirements has resulted in an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led to the development of a widening range of services, systems and standards to support publication and manage compliance.

Proprietary software has failed: a community-driven open source security proposal

Following 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.

Everyone’s Problem: Cross-sectoral responses to content challenges and bans

While book bans and content challenges may have a more visible, dramatic impact on libraries, vendors and publishers also need to confront the implications these restrictions and bans might have on their operations. User data retention policies, publishing practices, and system features tied to content curation are just a few areas where library, vendor, and publisher concerns might coalesce in response to content challenges. This session will consider cross-sectoral implications and strategies that could help us all pursue our shared commitment to information access and knowledge dissemination

Cybersecurity in Higher Education – Protecting Users with Decentralised Digital Identities

Higher Education has become ever more complex with the expansion of global supply chains with numerous connected organizations, technological advancements, the recent demands of educational hybrid learning, and the growing importance attached to individuals’ data and its security. In many ways, the pandemic has accelerated the acceptance of remote learning and faster technological advancements. Still, in other ways, it has exposed areas of weakness concerning data security/privacy in education and its supply chains. Besides education entities taking up more traditional and resilient security measures/frameworks, there can also be an approach to deploy innovative technologies such as blockchain or decentralized networks and utilize decentralized digital identities (DID).

In the education sector, digital identities can be used for various purposes such as verifying academic qualifications, authenticating students and staff, and managing educational resources. It could also create a secure, decentralized system for storing and sharing academic research. This would make it easier for researchers to find and access the data they need and would help to prevent fraud.

About the Event

Event summary

The theme for our 2018 One Day Conference is “Doing More with Less”. More and more, we hear that all members of the knowledge community are expected to do more with less – in terms of creative allocation of budgets; staff numbers, recruitment and training; skills, technologies, and even natural resources.

Why you should attend

We are bringing together librarians, publishers, researchers and providers of related technology and services, to share stories and best practice around “doing more with less”; our programme includes speakers from five countries, so delegates will be able to learn from a wide range of perspectives, experiences and contextual challenges (what would happen to your budget if your university stopped charging student fees?).

Learning objectives

You will learn about methodologies to help more efficiently plan and test new ideas; strategies for providing access after big deal cancellations; technologies that can help libraries surface their content and services more effectively; the day will close with a debate about whether library schools and other professional development opportunities are keeping pace with the changes we face as we “do more with less”.

Our provisional programme is below. We are still confirming some speakers and will update this page as we do so.

UKSG would like to thank its generous sponsor SpringerNature.
