SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - Better together: building services for public good on top of content from the global network of open repositories
DESCRIPTION:CORE hosts the world’s largest collection of open access full texts\, offering seamless\, unrestricted access to research for citizens\, researchers\, libraries\, software developers\, funders and others. CORE’s aggregated content comes from thousands of institutional and subject repositories as well as journals and covers all research disciplines. In January 2019\, CORE has hit the mark of 10 million monthly active users (10.41 million users). In September 2019\, core.ac.uk has made it to the top 5k websites globally by user engagement as measured by the independent Alexa Rank\, making it clearly one of the world’s most widely used Open Access services. \nIn this talk\, Petr and Nancy will explain the role of CORE in the open science ecosystem. They will introduce the solutions CORE offers for improving the delivery of research literature\, including tools for discovering freely available copies of papers that might be behind publishers’ paywalls as well as a recommender system for open access literature. The use of CORE data to monitor compliance with open access policies has also recently received attention. The presenters will then reflect on the challenges in the sector and share their experience of building value-added services for the society on top of open content offered by libraries and their affiliated institutional repositories and open access journals. \nRegister for this recording \nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site.  \nSlides \nPetr Knoth and Nancy Pontika have kindly agreed to make their slides available after their presentation. You may download them from here. Please use the correct attribution if you wish to refer to them. \nQ&A \nPlease\, find here the Q&A document that our speakers have kindly put together. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Shifting power centres in scholarly communications - The One Day Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:A joint UKSG/ALPSP One Day Conference: The pace of change in our sector has accelerated – and that change has also become more wide-reaching. We are moving beyond the “fall out” from the digital revolution – and its implications for user behaviours\, customer expectations\, product formats and business models – into a much bigger shift\, where established roles and accepted models are being questioned. Boundaries are blurring\, with funders and universities taking greater ownership of how research is communicated\, and publishers and libraries exploring new areas in which they can provide services and support. Where does all of this change leave researchers – are they already realising new benefits\, or are they suffering from having one foot in the old world and one in the new? What will happen next\, and how should scholarly publishers and librarians prepare? \n\n\n\nEvent summary\n\n\n\nBookings have now closed for this event if you would like to be added to the waitlist please register here  \n\n\n\nShifting power centres in scholarly communications: Implications and future roles for libraries and publishers. \n\n\n\nThis year’s One-Day Conference is a partnership between UKSG and ALPSP\, two organizations well placed to understand and address the scholarly communications’ community’s needs and concerns in this rapidly evolving ecosystem. The event promises strategic insight\, practical takeaways and robust discussion among research funders\, academics\, librarians and publishers.

SUMMARY:UKSG Introduction to E-Resources
DESCRIPTION:Course summary\nChairs: Diana Massam\, Jisc and Fiona Ainsworth\, Royal Botanic Gardens\, Kew \n\nThis one-day seminar aims to present a practical introductory overview of all aspects of e-resources management\, encompassing e-journals\, e-books and bibliographic and full-text databases. \n\nThe emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of e-resources handling in order to promote efficient and informed working practices.  A wide range of day-to-day issues will be covered\, with time devoted to recognising and resolving the problems that can arise at the boundaries between publishers\, intermediaries and libraries\, and addressing business models such as open access.  In addition\, the seminar will provide a forum for a group discussion on the current issues and opportunities offered by e-books. \n\nDelegates will be able to air and exchange views in the discussion session after each presentation. \n\n\nWhy you should attend \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“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.” \n\n“Very informative and you could see the clear links between the sectors and start to understand where the joined-up ways of working occur.” \n\n“It was stimulating and refreshing to meet individuals from different sectors and institutions.”

SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - Partnership working at The Hive: opening up access and opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Register for this recording \nYou may still register for the recording of the webinar by visiting the GoToWebinar site. \n\nSlides \n\nSarah Pittaway 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\n  \n\nUKSG’s vision is to “improve the flow of knowledge and the information experience of scholars and researchers”.  It’s all too easy to think solely of those scholars and researchers who are working inside of academia\, in Higher Education.  But we all have a duty to think beyond this and consider how we can open up access to institutions and the knowledge they provide to the wider community. \n\nAs Europe’s first integrated public and university library\, The Hive in Worcester aims to do just this\, opening up opportunities and breaking down barriers. \n\nThis webinar will cover some of the practicalities of how such a shared service operates\, including: systems integration; budgets\, acquisitions and subscriptions; licences and walk-in access; staff and specialist support; and\, spaces.   \n\nRecognising that not everyone can have a library quite like The Hive\, it will also reflect on some lessons and applicability.  What can others learn from us?  For example\, how are you catering to diverse groups?  What barriers are there that needn’t be?  Can you partner even in much smaller ways to open up access?

The transfer of metadata from these institutions is done through a number of regional\, national\, domain and thematic aggregators. To have their collections published online\, we have developed a data model\, Europeana Data Model\, that brings together specifications of other metadata formats\, adds contextual information to the records and contributes to their publication as linked open data. \n\nThis session will cover briefly our recommendations for metadata quality\, the possibilities of enhancement of certain fields and the various data re-use opportunities.

SUMMARY:UKSG One-Day Conference: London
DESCRIPTION:Event summary\n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nWhy you should attend\n\n\n\nWe 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?). \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nYou 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”. \n\n\n\nOur provisional programme is below.  We are still confirming some speakers and will update this page as we do so. \n\n\n\nEvent sponsor\n\n\n\nUKSG would like to thank its generous sponsor SpringerNature.

SUMMARY:UKSG Introduction to open access publication lifecycles and compliance
DESCRIPTION: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.
