My invited talk at the CILIP UKeiG AGM There’s much we do not yet know about the impact of AI within academia, it offers both opportunities and threats. One potential benefit could be in the area of research dissemination, but that is not without potential hazards. Academics and aligned specialists, including library and information professionals all have a vested interest in the communication of new knowledge. The barrier to this often comes down to the triple threat of time, money and expertise - AI might be able to help with that. In his presentation Andy will explore some of the opportunities to employ AI to help disseminate research using digital technologies and AI but also investigate what threats lie under the surface.

Could Artificial Intelligence help us communicate research better?

Slides from my UKSG talk for the event: Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar Altmetrics or alternative indicators of scholarly interest can tell us a lot about research and how it is being received beyond the traditional citation and impact factor scores, that much we know. But what else can altmetrics tell us about our research world, especially producing the outputs, communicating them and what opportunities can we leverage from all of this? We’re not yet using altmetrics to their full potential but in the course of this short talk Andy will provide a few insights on how we can make better use of this data to gain a better grasp and understanding of our scholarly world. https://www.uksg.org/event/uksg-usage-data-decision-making-online-seminar-2022

Technology has all the answers – but we have to start thinking about whether we’re asking the right questions Technology disruption has impacted on the library and information profession more than most organisation sectors. It has created a wealth of opportunities to improve how we carry out our work, it has also brought with it a lot of threats and highlighted weaknesses. We now have a myriad of digital tools to help us help others but do we know what they really want given the wide choice of solutions? Within the learning technology community they never stray too far away from pedagogical theory as to why a technology is adopted to help with teaching. Library and information specialists need to take leaf from that book and ask questions when adopting a new tool for teaching, research and dissemination. In this presentation Andy will discuss some of those questions and hopefully give a few answers.

Librarians and information professionals are increasingly tied to technology and the challenges that come with it. As a result technology is seen as an ever important part of their role, whether they like it or not. Librarians champion digital literacy and citizenship, social media, internet privacy and equal access to knowledge across the web. Their roles are ever supported by a myriad of technologies that can solve the most niche or universal of problems. Technology adds power to the librarian’s skill set, but it also comes with caveats and pitfalls. What technology is best for the job, how do you find out about them and what are the implications for their use, such as security, longevity and support. To be a library and information professional in the digital age means you have to pay heed to these issues. This means a combination of the right skills, flexibility and an acceptance you may fail at times. They say you should never work with children and animals, at times it feels like should apply to technology. It can be unpredictable, challenging and disruptive - but these are all scenarios that librarians are well used to. They have the right skill sets and the purpose of this keynote will be to guide library professionals how to navigate the very rough seas of technology and find new and exciting opportunities.

New research needs to be better reported and librarians can help with that Scientific research is increasingly being given coverage and attention in the media. The problem is that the media often fail to acknowledge who actually carried out the research and link to a publicly available version of that work or institute. This can lead to misreporting (sometimes intentional) and biased news coverage. Whilst academics, collaborators and institutions do not get the credit they deserve. As the REF and impact agenda become increasingly more important, so does the accurate reporting and collection of such impact, through such as altmetrics and media monitoring. Without citing and linking back to the work it becomes harder to track as a story takes on a life of its own through social media and reposts. Linking to the research makes it harder to misreport or cherry pick facts and stats as interested parties are able to check the facts for themselves. At a time when we have been told ‘people have had enough of experts’ and world leaders denouncing scientific fact, proper and accurate reporting of research has never mattered more. There are a few important things librarians can do to support the better reporting of research through encouraging linking to the open access versions and exploring how research is received through altmetrics. This talk will explore the issue and what can be done to tackle it.

Slides from a presentation I gave in collaboration with Alison McNab (University of Huddersfield) at the Northern Collaboration Conference in York on September 8th. https://northerncollaboration.org.uk/content/2017-conference-sponsored-proquest-ex-libris#overlay-context= Abstract This session will provide delegates with an overview of the digital research landscape, an introduction to tools and resources to tame the landscape, the opportunity to consider the skillsets required in the context of their own workplace, and an introduction to the research technologist manifesto. Please bring a mobile device (and your Eduroam password) to contribute to this interactive session. Researchers increasingly need to understand a multitude of topics including digital copyright, impact, altmetrics, communications, social media, research data management and sharing, open access, infographics, video, animation and mobile apps. Yet all too often they have little time, support or encouragement to explore these topics and have they need to make informed judgements on the most appropriate technologies. For decades skilled LIS professionals have provided researchers with excellent services around collection management, content curation and discovery, critical appraisal and reference management. More recently they have stepped into new areas of support and applied their knowledge around social media, metrics, scholarly communications and research data management. Given that the modern LIS professional is adept of working across platforms, good at problem solving and the use of new technologies, are they positioned to guide and work alongside researchers as research technologists?

Slides from my Pint of Science talk given at the very cool venue Couch on Campo Lane in Sheffield. Abstract Do you feel overwhelmed and distracted by all of the emails, text messages, website and social media updates, likes, pings, pokes, snapchats? Two things are certain, you are not alone and those distractions are not going to go away unless you get a handle on them. As the amount of content we generate on the web continues to grow at a rapid pace and we look to make better use of our time, personally and professionally, Andy Tattersall will show you some of the ways you can do to take back control. All you need is willpower and a terrible wifi connection.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
