Presentation from Izaskun Lacunza, LIBER Executive Director in the Sweedish Library Days. The LIBER Strategy and its three priorities i) Scholarly Communications and Research Infrastructures, ii) Reshaping the Library and iii) Advocacy and Communications are discussed. The presentation focuses on how by association, better levels of dialogue can be reached with policy makers and rest of stakeholders
4. 400 research and national libraries from more
than 40 countries in Europe (13 Swedish
members)
LARGEST library association in Europe
Contribute to REINVENT the RESEARCH LIBRARY
WHO ARE WE?
WHAT DO WE WANT?
WHAT’S MY FUTURE?
6. To provide an INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE to enable
research in LIBER institutions to be world class
To enhance the EXPERIENCE OF USERS in LIBER institutions
To PROMOTE AND ADVOCATE for European libraries in all
European and national fora
To DEVELOP LIBRARY and INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS who
are INNOVATIVE and can offer LEADERSHIP to LIBER and to the
national/international library community

RESEARCH DATA. ARE WE READY?
Research librarires are
willing to contribute, but:
1. Re-skilling needed (IT,
discipline knowledge)
2. Funding needed

RESEARCH DATA. WHERE DOES THE COMMISSION SEES LIBRARIES?
23. Text and data mining (TDM) is the process of deriving information from machine-read
material. It works by copying large quantities of material, extracting the data, and
recombining it to identify patterns
TEXT AND DATA MINING IN A NUTSHELL
No human being can read and exploit all the relevant literature of his research field.
Text and Data Mining can help and even enhance human reading and processing of
information
For libraries: researchers will realise the full value of our collections (link to
factsheet)
TDM can revolutionate science in the coming years… if we eliminate some OBSTACLES
24. TEXT AND DATA MINING IN A NUTSHELL
Who else has
realized of this
potential?
PUBLISHERS… ready to relicence
content for TDM activities
LIBER’S POSITION ON TDM:
• The right to read is the right to mine (NO to
double licening)
• TDM requires a COPYRIGHT EXCEPTION
25. NOT ALL CONTENT CAN BE LICENCED (THE WEB!)
LIBRARIES ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON LICENCING (RIGHT TO READ, RIGHT TO
MINE)
NEGOTIATION OF LICENCES: TIME CONSUMING, NOT SUSTAINABLE
DAMAGES EUROPE COMPETITIVENESS
IT GOES AGAINS OPEN SCIENCE EUROPE AGENDA
WHY LICENCING FOR TDM DOES NOT WORK
26. TEXT AND DATA MINING. What LIBER is doing
LIBER participating in a working group to develop
solutions to estimulate TDM in Europe (LICENCES
FOR EUROPE)
LIBER unhappy with the scope of the working
group: narrow and pro “re-licencing”
LIBER leading a request for exceptions and
limitations to copyright in TDM
More than 60 research institutions and
prominent researchers adhering to our request!
Articles in Nature and national press
Meetings with the European Commission to
explain our position
28. EC projects portfolio
Help us realise our Strategy
Involve members in FP7 projects
Knowing members and rest of stakeholders
Gets us closer to the Commission
Increases our visibility
EC PROJECTS PORTFOLIO. RESASONS TO PARTICIPATE
29. Ensuring that libraries are part of the common vision for digital
preservation
Development of virtual centre of excellence
Assesssing libraries' preparedness for digital preservation
(sustainability)
Engagement in development of best practice (persistent
identifies, cost modelling, authenticity
EC PROJECTS
SCHOLARLY COMM. AND RESEARCH INFRASTR.
30. Making digitised newspaper content from research
libraries available on Europeana
Developing best practice standards for OCR, OLR
Building of special content browsers for newspapers
18 million newspapers
pages available!
Develop a cloud based infrastructure for Europeana
Launch Europeana Research
Aggregate research content
RESHAPING THE LIBRARY
EC PROJECTS (II)
31. Explore state of OA policies in region
Engage funders, policymakers,researchers, libraries in OA debate
Make recommendations for the coordination
Develop recommendations for policies for research data sharing and
preservation
Work with other stakeholders (publishers,infrastructures, technology
providers,researchers) in research data sharing to elaborate related issues
(IPR,infrastructures, technology)
Raise awareness of importance of policies for data sharing
EC PROJECTS (III)
ADVOCACY AND COMMUNICATIONS
33. Association works!
Raises our voice in the European level
Helps having a common vision
Help us know each other and learn from each other
Help us share ideas
Great source of information!
Contributes to think together what the future will bring
CONCLUSIONS
Services on top: statistics, research profiles, TDM Open Acccess
New servcies to researchers and teachers: MOOCS, e-books, CRIS systes Libraries need leaders that bring change
Availability Accept datasets for storage at library and/or open up library catalogue to research data sets to allow access to data at least as remote content. Findability Support of persistent identifiers. Engage in developing common metadescription schemas and common citation practices. Promote use of common standards and tools among researchers Interpretability Provide metadescriptions to datasets. Support crosslinks between publications and datasets Re-usability Be transparent about conditions under which the data sets can be re-used (expert knowledge needed, software needed). Citability Engage in establishing uniform data citation standards. Support and promote persistent identifiers Curation/Preserv ation Transparency about curation of submitted data. Collaboration with data creators and data centres. Promote good data management practice.
