SUMMARY:UKSG One-Day Conference: London
DESCRIPTION:This is the page for the 2015 UKSG One-Day Conference.If you would like to read about or book for the 2016 One-Day Conference on the ‘Scholarly Communications Ecosystem’\, please click this link. … \n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nThis is the page for the 2015 UKSG One-Day Conference.If you would like to read about or book for the 2016 One-Day Conference on the ‘Scholarly Communications Ecosystem’\, please click this link. ​ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ​This UKSG event was live webcast\, and recorded for subsequent online viewing\, courtesy of IET.tv – the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s video production service.Recordings now available! \n\n\n\nTextbooks\, monographs\, reports\, handbooks\, collected essays\, novels\, poetry collections – many formats of ‘long-form’ material continue to flourish and evolve.  Why does printed text continue to be so popular?  Now that they are more established\, how are e-versions fitting into this picture?  This event will examine the status of the e-book in the academic context\, and review the latest analysis and developments in relation to teaching\, learning and research. \n\n\n\nWho should attend \n\n\n\nThis event is aimed at librarians\, publishers and others in the knowledge community who want to gain a rounded view of how print and e-books are evolving\, and what the implications might be for how we make ‘long-form’ materials available in the future.  Join us for enlightening presentations and valuable networking with those who are shaping the future of scholarly print and e-books. \n\n\n\nWhy librarians should attendJane Harvell\, Head of Academic Services and Special Collections at the University of Sussex: “At my library\, we’re investing more and more in the e-book format (in its many guises) for research and teaching. I want to ensure this isn’t being done blindly\, and that we are taking advantage of all opportunities to hear from ‘consumers’ of this type of content. The one-day conference provides an opportunity to take a fresh look at e-books in their own right – not just as the sometimes cheaper\, easier to distribute and less dusty alternative to the print book. It’s also a chance to hear measured scholarly opinion on the value of the e-book format\, and of the open access book\, to the research process.” Why publishers should attendColleen Campbell\, JSTOR’s Director\, Institutional Participation and Strategic Partnerships – Europe: “Publishers and other providers of digital books need to keep up to date with the expectations of libraries and their users in terms of functionality and access. It’s important to understand this in the context of how students and researchers are using long-form resources – both paper and electronic – for example\, whether they substitute one for the other\, or use both complementarily. We also need to be in tune with how libraries are developing their collections and guiding their readers towards these different resources – all of this has implications for the way we provide services.” \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n09.30   Registration and coffee10.00   Welcome and introduction by the ChairJeremy Upton\, Director of University and Library Collections\, University of Edinburgh10.05   Monographs and open access: reflections arising out of the report to HEFCE  Professor Geoffrey Crossick\, Author\, HEFCE Report on Monographs and Open Access\, and Distinguished Professor of the Humanities\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London10.35   Author experiences and expectations of open access publishing modelsDr Chris Kempshall\, Associate Tutor and Researcher\, University of SussexProfessor Frank Rennie\, Assistant Principal (Research\, Enterprise and Development)\, Lews Castle College\, University of the Highlands and IslandsProfessor Geoffrey Crossick\, Distinguished Professor of the Humanities\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London11.15   Coffee \n\n\n\n11.45   On Book Sprints: short-form methods and collaborative authorship Professor Claire Taylor\, Professor of Hispanic Studies\, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures\, University of Liverpool12.15   Student experiences and expectations of print and e-booksStudents from the University of Sussex\, King’s College London and City University London13.00   Lunch14.00   Sustainability of new print and e-book publishing models – publisher\, librarian and funder perspectivesPublisher perspective  Eelco Ferwerda\, Director\, OAPEN Foundation \n\n\n\nLibrarian perspective  Chris Banks\, Director of Library Services\, Imperial College London \n\n\n\nFunder perspectiveDonald J Waters\, Senior Program Officer\, Scholarly Communications\,The Andrew W Mellon Foundation15.15   Tea15.45   The AHRC/British Library Academic Book of the Future Project  Dr Samantha J Rayner\, Director\, Centre for Publishing\, University College London[Presentation delivered by Dr Michael Jubb\, Director\, Research Information Network]16.00   OAPEN-UK: the final report and recommendationsCaren Milloy\, Deputy Director\, Jisc Collections16.15   Online Educational Resources: e-tips  Professor Frank Rennie\, Assistant Principal (Research\, Enterprise and Development)\, Lews Castle College\, University of the Highlands and Islands16.30   Question Timechaired by Jeremy Upton17.00   Wrap-up followed by drinks reception18.00   Close \n\n\n\nVenue \n\n\n\nGrand Connaught Rooms(Edinburgh and Drawing Room)61-65 Great Queen StreetLondonWC2B 5DAT: +44 (0)20 7405 7811W: www.grandconnaughtrooms.com \n\n\n\nWhat they said about the 2014 One-Day Conference (on researchers’ needs) \n\n\n\n“A very useful insight into researcher needs\, their views on the current situation\, and how they see the challenges ahead and possible solutions.” \n\n\n\n“The range of perspectives presented at the conference was extremely useful.” \n\n\n\n“All speakers excellent\, knowledgable and stuck to their brief.” \n\n\n\n“I really thought the programme theme was reflected well in the running order and content of the presentations – well done.” \n\n\n\n“It gave me a good broad update on the complexity in the current situation in the UK scholarly communications sector.  Great to have policy makers\, publishers\, librarians and researchers at the same event.” \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 and lunch. \n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nThe closing date for booking has now passed.  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 Monday 9 November 2015 – full refundFrom Tuesday 10 November 2015 – 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.

SUMMARY:Free UKSG webinar - Peer review in 2015: a global view - Key findings from the Taylor & Francis white paper
DESCRIPTION:Peer review: much discussed\, much covered\, much maligned\, but what do researchers really think of the system at the heart of scholarly research? Is it as broken as we are sometimes led to believe? How much of a discrepancy is there between expectation and reality? How do views differ between authors\, editors and reviewers? Or across the disciplines – humanities\, social sciences\, science and medicine? \nJoin Elaine Devine and Will Frass of Taylor & Francis as they discuss the findings of a global survey and focus groups conducted in 2015 with authors\, reviewers and editors around the world. \n  \nMore information and registration.
