The document discusses patron-driven e-books (PDA), which allow libraries to offer e-books to users on-demand based on user interest and usage. It describes several PDA business models including purchase, rental, capped pay-per-view, and evidence-based selection models. It also discusses some of the practical challenges of implementing a PDA program and analyzing usage data, which shows that while users accessed many e-books for free through loans, the library still spent a significant portion of its budget on loans rather than purchases. Overall, the document examines the promises and potential pitfalls of PDA programs for libraries.
Librarians at three different types of academic libraries will provide perspectives on their patron-driven ebook acquisitions programs. The shared collection development of ebooks at the CTW Consortium (Connecticut College, Trinity College, Wesleyan University) will be discussed as well. In their remarks, panelists will discuss the virtues and shortcomings of patron-driven selection, the vendors/systems offering this acquisitions option, and key issues surrounding ebook acquisitions generally.
Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) is emerging as a new library collection development model and challenging existing business and service models for vendors and publishers. PDA is moving beyond individual projects and becoming yet another model to build and maintain library collections. What guidelines and standards will be required to support PDA?
Speakers in this webinar will:
Present an overview of the introduction and evolution of PDA.
Describe the kinds of PDA -- both print and electronic -- that have developed (e.g., ILL requests and loading records into an OPAC based on library-defined parameters, including approval plans), and whether best practices are in place yet.
Describe the mechanics of workflow (vendor systems, ILS and ILL systems, publisher data), and discuss whether existing standards support PDA, or if there are standards that need to be developed.
Discuss the long-term effects on budgets (which can be spent very quickly), collection development (will the print or electronic book collection remain relevant?), interlibrary loan (will ILL borrowing decrease significantly if items are purchased rather than borrowed?), and publishing models.

Rethinking Library Acquisition: Demand-Driven Purchasing for Scholarly Books
Librarians must reconsider how they collect monographs. Traditionally, academic libraries purchase books to support their curricular and research needs, without much consideration of use. Even though 40% or more of books in most academic libraries never get used, this model makes sense in a world in which books go out of print, shelf space is available, and collection budgets are stable. But the world has changed: as publishers shift to an electronic model, books will not go out of print, libraries are under pressure to convert shelf space to study space; and libraries have fewer funds to purchase books annually. This panel will discuss approaches to demand-driven acquisition of monographs at two institutions: the University of Arizona and the University of Denver. While discussing plans being developed at these libraries, we will also look at implications for libraries in general, scholarly publishing, book vendors and academia.

This session will demystify (generative) AI by exploring its workings as an advanced statistical modelling tool (suitable for any level of technical knowledge). Not only will this session explain the technological underpinnings of AI, it will also address concerns and (long-term) requirements around ethical and practical usage of AI. This includes data preparation and cleaning, data ownership, and the value of data-generated - but not owned - by libraries. It will also discuss the potentials for (hypothetical) use cases of AI in collections environments and making collections data AI-ready; providing examples of AI capabilities and applications beyond chatbots.

Although scholarly communications has become more open, problems with predatory and problematic publishers remain. There are commercial providers of lists, start-up/renegade Internet lists of good/bad and the researchers, publishers and assessors that try to understand and process what being on/off a list means to themselves, their careers and their institutions. Still, these problems persist and leaves many asking: where is the list?

In the world of digital literacies, liaison and instructional librarians are increasingly coming to terms with a new term: algorithmic literacy. No matter the liaison or instruction subjects – computer science, sociology, language and literature, chemistry, physics, economics, or other – students are grappling with assignments that demand a critical understanding, or even use, of algorithms. Over the course of this session, we’ll discuss the term ‘algorithmic literacies,’ explore how it fits into other digital literacies, and see why it as a curriculum might belong at your library. We’ll also look at some examples of practical pedagogical methods you can implement right away, depending on what types of AL lessons you want to teach, and who your patrons are. Lastly, we’ll discuss how librarians should view themselves as co-learners when working with AL skills. This session seeks to bring together participants from across the different libraries, with diverse missions/vision/mandates, to explore ways we can all benefit from teaching AL. If time permits, we may discuss how text and data librarians (functional specialists) can support the development of this curriculum.

In this paper, we present CORE-GPT, a novel question- answering platform that combines GPT-based language models and more than 32 million full-text open access scientific articles from CORE. We first demonstrate that GPT3.5 and GPT4 cannot be relied upon to provide references or citations for generated text. We then introduce CORE-GPT which delivers evidence-based answers to questions, along with citations and links to the cited papers, greatly increasing the trustworthiness of the answers and reducing the risk of hallucinations.

Open Access is a foundational topic in Scholarly Communications. However, when information professionals and publishers talk about its future, it is nearly always Gold open access we discuss. Green was seen as the big solution for providing access to those who couldn’t afford it. However, publishers have protested that Green destroys their business models. How true is this, and are we even all talking the same language when we talk about Green?

Transitional agreements were developed in response to funder policy and institutional demand to constrain costs and facilitate funder compliance. They have since become the dominant model by which UK research outputs are made open access. In January 2023, Jisc instigated a critical review of TAs and the OA landscape to provide an evidence base to inform a conversation on the desired future state of research dissemination. This session will discuss the key findings of the review and its impact on a sector-wide consultation and concrete actions in the UK and beyond.
Michael Levine-Clark, University of Denver, Jason Price, SCELC Library Consortium
As transformative agreements emerge as a new standard, it is critical for libraries, consortia, publishers, and vendors to have consistent and comprehensive data – yet data around publication profiles, authorship, and readership has been shown to be highly variable in availability and accuracy. Building on prior research around frameworks for assessing the combined value of open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide, we will address multi-dimensional perspectives to the challenges that the industry faces with the dissemination, collection, and analysis of data about authorship, readership, and value.

Get Full Text Research (GetFTR) launched in 2020 with the objective of streamlining discovery and access of scholarly content in the many tools that researchers use today, such as Dimensions, Semantic Scholar, Mendeley, and many others. It works equally well for open access content as it does for subscription-based content, providing researchers with recognizable buttons and indicators to get them to the most up-to-date version of content with minimal effort. Currently, around 30,000 OA articles are accessed every day via GetFTR links.

Researchers face more pressure to share their research data than ever before. Owing to a rise in funder policies and momentum towards more openness across the research landscape. Although policies for data sharing are in place, engagement work is undertaken by librarians in order to ensure repository uptake and compliance.
We will discuss a particular strategy implemented at Loughborough University that involved the application of conceptual messaging frameworks to engagement activities in order to promote and encourage use of our Figshare-powered repository. We will showcase the rationale behind the adoption of messaging frameworks for library outreach and some practical examples.

This talk will outline how a completely accidental occurrence led to brand new avenues for open research advocacy and reasons for being. This advocacy has occurred within student communities such as trainee teachers, student psychologists and (especially) those soon losing access to subscription-based library content. Alongside these new forms of advocacy, these ethical example of AI use cases has begun to form a cornerstone of directly connecting the work of the library to new technology.

The UN SDG Publishers Compact, launched in 2020, was set up to inspire action among publishers to accelerate progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, asking signatories to develop sustainable practices, act as champions and publish books and journals that will “inform, develop and inspire action in that direction”.
This Lightning Talk will discuss how our new Bristol University Press Digital has been developed as part of our mission to contribute a meaningful and impactful response to this call to action as well as the global social challenges we face.
Using thematic tagging to create uniquely curated themed eBook collections around the Global Social Challenges, Bristol University Press Digital responds directly to the need to provide the scholarly community access to a comprehensive range SDG focussed content while minimising time and resource at the institution end in collating content and maintaining collection relevance to rapidly evolving themes

Academic researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to make data and software FAIR in order to support the sharing and reuse of non-publication outputs. Currently there is still a lack of concise and practical guidance on how to achieve this in the context of specific data types and disciplines.
This presentation details recent and ongoing work at the University of Sheffield to bridge this gap. It will explore the development of a FAIR resource with specialist guidance for a range of data types and will examine the planned development of this project during the period 2023-25

Community-led organizations like DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), COUNTER (the standard for usage metrics) and OA Switchboard (information exchange for OA publications) are committed to providing reliable, not-for-profit services and standards essential for a well-functioning global research ecosystem. These organizations operate behind the scenes, with low budgets and limited staffing – no salespeople, marketing teams, travel budgets, or in-house technology support. They collaborate with one another and with bigger infrastructure bodies like Crossref and ORCID, creating the foundations on which much scholarly infrastructure relies.
These organizations deliver value through open infrastructure, data and standards, and naturally services and tools have been built by commercial and not-for-profit groups that capitalize on their open, interoperable data and services – many of which you are likely to recognize and may use on a regular basis.

Since 2015, the number of self-published learned societies in the UK has decreased by over a third, with the remaining societies experiencing real-term revenue declines. All around the world, society publishers are struggling with increased competition from commercial publishers and the rise of open access business models that reward quantity over quality. We will delve into the distinctive position of societies in research, examine the challenges confronting UK and US learned society publishers, and explore actionable steps for libraries and policymakers to support the continued relevance of learned society publishers in the evolving scholarly landscape.

Over the last few years we have witnessed a seismic shift in the scholarly ecosystem. Three years since outset of the COVID pandemic and the establishment UN Publishers Compact, this is discussion-led presentation will look at how four UK Universities Presses have adopted a consultative and collaborative approach on projects to support their institutional missions, engage with the wider scholarly community while building on a commitment to make a meaningful difference to society.
This panel discussion will combine the perspectives of four UK based university presses, all with distinct identities and varied publishing programs drawn from humanities, arts and social sciences, yet with a shared recognition and value of the importance to collaborate and co-operate on a shared vision to support accessibility and inclusivity within the wider scholarly community and maintain a rich bibliodiversity.
While research support teams are generally small and specialist in nature, an increased demand of its service has been observed across the sector. This is particularly true for teaching-intensive institutions. As a pilot to expand research support across ARU library, the library graduate trainee was seconded to the research services team for a month. This dialogue between the former trainee and manager will discuss what the experience and outcomes of the secondment were from different perspectives. The conversation will also explore the exposure Library and Information Studies students have to research services throughout their degree.

Octopus.ac is a UKRI funded research publishing model, designed to promote best practice. Intended to sit alongside journals, Octopus provides a space for researcher collaboration, recording work in detail, and receiving feedback from others, allowing journals to focus on narrative.
The platform removes existing barriers to publishing. It’s an entirely free, open space for researchers, without editorial and pre-publication peer review processes. The only requirement for authors is a valid ORCiD ID. Without barriers, Octopus must provide feedback mechanisms to ensure the community can self-moderate. During this session, we’ll explore Octopus’ aims to foster a collaborative environment and incentivise quality.

Library patrons want to search for and locate authors by particular identity markers, such as gender identification, country of origin, sexual orientation, nature of disability, and the many intersectional points that allow an author to express a point-of-view. Artificial Intelligence, skilled web researchers, and data scientists in general struggle to achieve accuracy on single identity markers, such as gender. And what right does anybody have to affix identity metadata to an author other than the author theirselves? And what of the risks in disseminating author identity metadata in electronic distribution platforms and in library catalog systems? Can a "fully informed" author even imagine all the possible misuses of their identity metadata?

Cambridge University Press is now well underway with an unprecedented transformation, but what does the next phase of Open Research look like for Cambridge and the industry at large? The efforts to get us to this point have been shared between authors, institutions, funders and publishers, and the future ecosystem of research publishing needs to be similarly balanced, sustainable and equitable. We would like to open a dialogue with the community, outlining our vision, and discuss what happens next for open scholarship..

Young Tom Selleck: A Journey Through His Early Years and Rise to Stardomgreendigital
Introduction
When one thinks of Hollywood legends, Tom Selleck is a name that comes to mind. Known for his charming smile, rugged good looks. and the iconic mustache that has become synonymous with his persona. Tom Selleck has had a prolific career spanning decades. But, the journey of young Tom Selleck, from his early years to becoming a household name. is a story filled with determination, talent, and a touch of luck. This article delves into young Tom Selleck's life, background, early struggles. and pivotal moments that led to his rise in Hollywood.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Early Life and Background
Family Roots and Childhood
Thomas William Selleck was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 29, 1945. He was the second of four children in a close-knit family. His father, Robert Dean Selleck, was a real estate investor and executive. while his mother, Martha Selleck, was a homemaker. The Selleck family relocated to Sherman Oaks, California. when Tom was a child, setting the stage for his future in the entertainment industry.
Education and Early Interests
Growing up, young Tom Selleck was an active and athletic child. He attended Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. where he excelled in sports, particularly basketball. His tall and athletic build made him a standout player, and he earned a basketball scholarship to the University of Southern California (U.S.C.). While at U.S.C., Selleck studied business administration. but his interests shifted toward acting.
Discovery of Acting Passion
Tom Selleck's journey into acting was serendipitous. During his time at U.S.C., a drama coach encouraged him to try acting. This nudge led him to join the Hills Playhouse, where he began honing his craft. Transitioning from an aspiring athlete to an actor took time. but young Tom Selleck became drawn to the performance world.
Early Career Struggles
Breaking Into the Industry
The path to stardom was a challenging one for young Tom Selleck. Like many aspiring actors, he faced many rejections and struggled to find steady work. A series of minor roles and guest appearances on television shows marked his early career. In 1965, he debuted on the syndicated show "The Dating Game." which gave him some exposure but did not lead to immediate success.
The Commercial Breakthrough
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Selleck began appearing in television commercials. His rugged good looks and charismatic presence made him a popular brand choice. He starred in advertisements for Pepsi-Cola, Revlon, and Close-Up toothpaste. These commercials provided financial stability and helped him gain visibility in the industry.
Struggling Actor in Hollywood
Despite his success in commercials. breaking into large acting roles remained a challenge for young Tom Selleck. He auditioned and took on small parts in T.V. shows and movies. Some of his early television appearances included roles in popular series like Lancer, The F.B.I., and Bracken's World. But, it would take a

This panel discussion will combine the perspectives of four UK based university presses, all with distinct identities and varied publishing programs drawn from humanities, arts and social sciences, yet with a shared recognition and value of the importance to collaborate and co-operate on a shared vision to support accessibility and inclusivity within the wider scholarly community and maintain a rich bibliodiversity.
While research support teams are generally small and specialist in nature, an increased demand of its service has been observed across the sector. This is particularly true for teaching-intensive institutions. As a pilot to expand research support across ARU library, the library graduate trainee was seconded to the research services team for a month. This dialogue between the former trainee and manager will discuss what the experience and outcomes of the secondment were from different perspectives. The conversation will also explore the exposure Library and Information Studies students have to research services throughout their degree.

Octopus.ac is a UKRI funded research publishing model, designed to promote best practice. Intended to sit alongside journals, Octopus provides a space for researcher collaboration, recording work in detail, and receiving feedback from others, allowing journals to focus on narrative.
The platform removes existing barriers to publishing. It’s an entirely free, open space for researchers, without editorial and pre-publication peer review processes. The only requirement for authors is a valid ORCiD ID. Without barriers, Octopus must provide feedback mechanisms to ensure the community can self-moderate. During this session, we’ll explore Octopus’ aims to foster a collaborative environment and incentivise quality.

Library patrons want to search for and locate authors by particular identity markers, such as gender identification, country of origin, sexual orientation, nature of disability, and the many intersectional points that allow an author to express a point-of-view. Artificial Intelligence, skilled web researchers, and data scientists in general struggle to achieve accuracy on single identity markers, such as gender. And what right does anybody have to affix identity metadata to an author other than the author theirselves? And what of the risks in disseminating author identity metadata in electronic distribution platforms and in library catalog systems? Can a "fully informed" author even imagine all the possible misuses of their identity metadata?

This breakout will provide an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into the findings of the Critical Review of Transitional Agreements discussed by Chris Banks and Caren Milloy in the second plenary session. We will discuss the methodology in more detail, as well as elaborate on our findings on the prevalence of Open Access and the extent to which UK transitional agreements have met the sector’s requirements. We will also ask several questions of the audience to help us gauge the UKSG community’s reactions to the findings and ambitions for the future of open research dissemination.

What are the impacts of the oldest publisher in the world going from 90% subscription content to 90% Open Access content in under 10 years and what does the future hold? Cambridge University Press is now well underway with an unprecedented transformation, but what does the next phase of Open Research look like for Cambridge and the industry at large? The efforts to get us to this point have been shared between authors, institutions, funders and publishers, and the future ecosystem of research publishing needs to be similarly balanced, sustainable and equitable. We would like to open a dialogue with the community, outlining our vision, and discuss what happens next for open scholarship..
