The document discusses the University of Sussex Library's experience with patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of e-books. It shows that PDA purchases have increased as a percentage of the library's book and e-book budget each year since 2010. The library has tackled issues like suppliers, budgets, usage data, and staff awareness of PDA. Going forward, the library aims to use PDA to address interlibrary loans, missing items, and purchasing extra copies of popular reserve titles. Usage data shows heavy use of PDA e-books, especially by undergraduates, with over 17,000 free browses of titles not owned.

The Penn Libraries underwent a strategic planning process from 2013-2014 which included gathering input from various stakeholders. Library department reports identified recurring issues such as space constraints and need for professional development. A survey of 428 students, faculty, and staff found that physical space and search processes were concerns, and one-on-one help from library staff was most useful. Focus groups provided additional feedback. The implementation phase from 2014-2017 included developing a strategic plan and scorecard to track progress.

Results are shared between library staff and with management and lecturers to continuously improve practices and promote the library's role in supporting student learning.

Emma Burnett and Helen Rimmer: A new chapter at Royal Holloway

Vlaamse Vereniging voor Bibliotheek, Archief & Documentatie vzw (VVBAD)

The document summarizes lessons learned from preparing staff for changes at the Royal Holloway library. It discusses moving to a new library system, staff turnover, and a professional services restructure. To prepare staff, the library held away days, staff communication groups, Q&A sessions, and training. They established an internal coaching pool and embraced change management courses. Lessons included timing staff development, having a dedicated change manager, succession planning, and better document saving. Currently, the new library is busy and popular but issues remain due to an incomplete building handover.

Courses for digital students and flipped classroom

The document discusses information literacy (IL) education for online nursing students at VIA University College in Denmark. It outlines how the library offers IL instruction through 8 sessions integrated into the nursing curriculum. Sessions are designed using a flipped classroom model with open learning resources and webinars. The library collaborates closely with nursing faculty to design IL activities that scaffold learning and are timed to support course assignments. Evaluations found curriculum integration, personal librarian support, and experience-oriented instruction most impact student IL acquisition. A related study showed students receiving regular IL instruction had better search skills and used academic databases more than Google.

Team for research support at via library 2016

Vlaamse Vereniging voor Bibliotheek, Archief & Documentatie vzw (VVBAD)

This document discusses the establishment of a Team for Research Support at VIA Library. The team aims to support education and the research process at the University Colleges in Denmark, which first received government grants for research in 2013. The team will provide courses and individual support to researchers on topics like search strategies, publishing, and reference handling. Setting up this team presents challenges around informing researchers, competing with other priorities for researchers' time, limited research grants that provide little time for library activities, and ensuring knowledge is shared across librarians not located together.

Northumbria University has around 35,000 students across four faculties located on campuses in Newcastle and London. The university library uses a functionally structured model where the Learning Partnerships Librarian and team are responsible for liaising with all four faculties rather than having dedicated subject librarians. This structure has led to some confusion from academic staff who are unsure of who to contact for support in specific subject areas.

This document summarizes the results of a campaign to promote awareness of reading lists to students at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). The campaign utilized various methods of outreach including posters, plasma screens, and social media. A survey found that while 80% of students were aware of reading lists, only 68% had used them. Most students first learned about reading lists from sources other than MMU library staff. Suggested improvements from students included reducing clicks to access lists, increasing consistency, and ensuring list relevance. Usage of reading lists increased after the campaign and training sessions for staff. The document recommends continuing promotion through permanent displays and refresher training.

Transforming library collections and supporting student learning with collect...

NASIG

This presentation discusses how the use of collection mapping transformed outdated and unbalanced print collections at Florida SouthWestern State College into collections directly supporting student learning. A collection map is a data driven picture of specific areas of library collections. This approach differs from past approaches to collection development as it doesn't focus on a breadth of subject areas striving to develop a large collection of many volumes that students could possibly find useful, but rather, considers various factors including program enrollment figures, reference interactions, and course content to develop a collection that contributes to the quality and integrity of academic programs. The presenter will explain methodologies used, including the creation of collection maps, and share results the project has yielded for FSW's Rush Library.

Data management support as core business of research libraries

The Radboud University Library has established itself as a one-stop-shop for research data management support by building expertise, trust, and symbiotic relationships across the university. It offers traditional library services like workshops and individual support for writing data management plans and archiving data, as well as more extensive services like developing disciplinary RDM policies and checking data quality before archiving. By serving as an accessible linking pin between researchers, policymakers, and IT, and giving researchers the sense they are not alone, the library aims to remain an indispensable part of the university's RDM support even as infrastructure projects are fully implemented.

UKSG Conference 2017 Breakout - Providing accessible content – initiatives in...

IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)

Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming activity for individual libraries who have a legal and ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As access to online content has grown and funding for support diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty content and then work with publishers and other suppliers to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide some case studies from UK universities that show how we are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors, many of whom have engaged with their customers. In some cases quite simple changes to publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

The document summarizes a project at Imperial College London that used user experience methods to understand students' information literacy needs and behaviors. Focus groups with students identified their main challenges as discovery and access of information, evaluating sources, and time pressure. Students reported seeking friendly advice online when facing difficulties, rather than first consulting library webpages. The project aimed to redesign information literacy resources based on these findings to better target student support. User experience techniques provided insights to inform teaching materials and help at points where students need assistance.

UKSG 2024 From algorithms to empowerment by Christina Dinh Nguyen.pdf

Christina Dinh Nguyen, University of Toronto Mississauga Library 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.

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?

UKSG 2024 Plenary 2 - Are we there yet? A review of transitional agreements i...

Chris Banks, Imperial College London, Caren Milloy, Jisc, 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.

UKSG 2024 Plenary 2 - What did we Read, What did we Publish: Distilling the d...

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.

UKSG 2024 Lightning 2 - How GetFTR Supports Discovery and Access of OA Content

Hylke Koers, STM Solutions 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.

Gareth Cole, Loughborough University, Adrian Clark, Figshare 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.

UKSG 2024 Lightning 2 - All Watched Over By Machines That Love Open Research

Mark Lester, Cardiff Metropolitan University 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.

Simon Bell, Bristol University Press 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

UKSG 2024 Lightning 1 - Practical steps towards an open research culture: Bui...

Jenni Adams, University of Sheffield, Ric Campbell, University of Sheffield 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

UKSG 2024 - Open infrastructure and standards: small bodies, big impact

TASHA MELLINS-COHEN COUNTER & Mellins-Cohen Consulting, JOANNA BALL DOAJ, YVONNE CAMPFENS OA Switchboard, ADAM DER, Max Planck Digital Library 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. Hear from the Directors of COUNTER, DOAJ and OA Switchboard, as well as a library leader, on the role of these organizations, the challenges they face and why support from the community is essential to their sustainability.
