Scholarly communication in an anti-globalisation environment\n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n09.30    Registration and coffee \n\n\n\n10.00    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 \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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) \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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 \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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 \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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. \n\n\n\n12.45    Lunch13.45    Open Research: from the perspective of Wellcome  Robert Kiley\, Head of Open Research\, Wellcome Trust \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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 \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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 \n\n\n\nAbstract: 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 \n\n\n\nVenue \n\n\n\nGrange Tower Bridge Hotel (Beaumont and Sidney Suites\, Floor 1)45 Prescot StreetLondonE1 8GP \n\n\n\nTel.: 020 7959 5000 \n\n\n\nFee\n\n\n\nUKSG members: £190.00 + £38.00 VAT [20%] (total £228.00)Non-members: £240.00 + £48.00 VAT [20%] (total £288.00) \n\n\n\nThe fee includes refreshments\, lunch and the drinks reception. \n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nBooking for this event has now closed.  For further information please contact Karen Sadler. \n\n\n\nVenue location details will be sent with confirmation of booking. \n\n\n\nCancellations\n\n\n\nBy Tuesday 7 November 2017 – full refundFrom Wednesday 8 November 2017 – no refund \n\n\n\nNB:  UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies.

\n\n\n\n\n\nNegotiation 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). \n\n\n\n *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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrief History \n\n\n\n\n\nThis 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’. \n\n\n\n(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.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Goals \n\n\n\n\n\n•    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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Format \n\n\n\n\n\nIn common with all Lead From Within learning\, this workshop is lively\, engaging and interactive to create the richest learning experience possible.

It is assumed that delegates have little or no formal project management training. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we introduce a simple and free project management tool that enables you to run projects of any size and any level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\, providing you with all the key information you need\, enabling you to stay on track and deliver on time and on budget. \n\n\n\nOne of the key benefits of the workshop is that delegates can bring a real project they will be working on and use the workshop to create a real project plan for that project\, so they create something valuable on the day as well as getting trained. \n\n\n\nThe workshop is very practical with a mix of tools and techniques as well as specially designed exercises to enable you to leave the workshop ready to implement the tools in your projects immediately. Exercises\, worksheets and handouts are provided for you to take away. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, delegates will be: \n\n\n\n\n• confident in their ability to take on projects of any size\n\n\n\n• more productive and efficient\, resulting in less overwhelm and fire-fighting\n\n\n\n• familiar with a new project management tool that enables them to run projects of any size and level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\n\n\n\n• skilful at managing multiple projects\, providing updates for everybody involved and seeing at a glance where attention needs to be focused\n\n\n\n• ready to put their new skills and techniques into practice immediately to impact their job the day they return to the office.\n\n\n\nIn addition\, each delegate will have the opportunity to develop a project plan for a real project they are about to begin. This provides the opportunity for learning new skills in a highly practical way as well as doing some ‘real work’ during the session!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Agenda  \n\n\n\n\n\n09:30 Registration and refreshments10:00 Introductions and objectives of the day10:15 Session 1: Introducing a new project manager tool\, project definitions and components of the tool10:30 Session 2: 12-steps to constructing the project plan before the project starts11:45 Refreshment break12:00 Session 2: (continued)12:30 Session 3: Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 113:15 Lunch14:00 Session 3: (continued) Practical Exercise – creating your own project plan – Part 214:45 Session 4: Using the project plan during a project (refreshments available)15:45 Session 5: Extending the project management tool\, review\, summary and questions16:15 Close \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Facilitator \n\n\n\n\n\nPractical Project Management is facilitated by David Sommer.  David has over twenty years’ experience in the global publishing industry.  He has worked for Blackwell Publishing and Macmillan Publishing Solutions and has developed a range of successful publisher and library products including Blackwell Synergy\, ContentStore\, ScholarlyStats and MPS Insight.  In 2009 David set up David Sommer Consulting helping publishers\, societies and libraries and he is now Co-Founder and Product Director at Kudos.  He also chairs the Executive Committee for COUNTER.  David has extensive project management experience\, successfully developing and launching major industry products. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFee \n\n\n\n\n\nUKSG members: £200.00 + £40.00 VAT [20%] (total £240.00)Non-members: £250.00 + £50.00 VAT [20%] (total £300.00) \n\n\n\nThe fee includes refreshments and lunch. \n\n\n\nFeedback from previous PPM workshops \n\n\n\nIn 2015 100% of the London workshop attendees rated it ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’ and all said they would recommend it to a colleague. \n\n\n\n“Excellent.  Just the right amount of practical work\, and a really useful recap at the end.  Very well presented.” \n\n\n\n“Brilliantly simple/straightforward.  Common sense\, clarifies thinking.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent!  I feel much more prepared when breaking down my role into discrete project plans and explaining this to senior management.  David’s style of delivery was really clear and prepared for all questions/potential scenarios we might face employing the project techniques in the workplace.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent course which will transform the way I manage projects – many thanks.” \n\n\n\n“I particularly liked hearing about other people’s experiences.  Tips surrounding project management such as time management were very useful.” \n\n\n\n“Excellent workshop.  Found the practical elements really helpful.  Can see many opportunities to use this pretty much every day.  Enjoyed the style and pace of the day as well.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThe booking date for this course has now passed.  For further information please contact Alison Whitehorn \n\n\n\nVenue location details will be sent with confirmation of booking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nBy Wednesday 19 October 2016 – full refundFrom Thursday 20 October 2016 – no refund \n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.

have access to more data than ever before about the ways in which their print and electronic resources are being used by readers\, and advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making.At the same time\, public sector institutions are being asked to make extremely difficult choices about priorities for spending.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided.This seminar offers invaluable background information on how usage statistics are collated and what they do and do not measure\, as well as case studies demonstrating how statistics are informing the decision-making process in real life.  Delegates 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 also have the chance to share their own experiences\, positive and negative\, of using statistics for decision making and will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day.Course level and previous knowledge requiredThis course is aimed at those who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections.  It will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in the further and higher education sector but may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.Please note: This course 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.Learning objectivesDelegates will:•    understand how usage statistics are created and what they actually mean•    learn about practical ways in which e-journal and e-book usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes•    learn about other statistical approaches to measuring the value and impact ofe-resources•    understand the wider environment and context in which usage statistics collection and decision making is carried out•    discuss their own experiences of gathering and manipulating usage statistics in order to make financial\, management and service decisions. \n\n\n\nFee \n\n\n\nUKSG members:  £185.00 + £37.00 VAT [20%] (total
