This document discusses how research libraries are adapting to the digital era. It notes that libraries have changed more in the last decade than the last century as they shift resources from print to digital. Libraries are expected to support teaching, research, and scholarly communication. The document recommends that natural history institutions go fully digital with their publications for increased visibility, accessibility, and cost savings. It encourages the use of open access models and infrastructure like the Directory of Open Access Journals to make publications more discoverable.

"Where are my Marc records?" - Librarians' perception of discovery toolsFrançois Renaville
In February 2013, the ULg Library launched a new portal where the new library website and Primo were closely integrated. Three months before the official launch to the public, Primo FE was shown to library colleagues to get the first professional feedback. Several training sessions were organized for the library staff to focus on the differences between discovery tools and traditional opacs and to explain how our Primo would function (local data vs PCI, pipe process, normalization rules, deduplication, FRBRization...) Then, a survey was organized among the library staff to get their feelings and perceptions about discovery tools in general, and the impacts that such tools have, according to them on the users' habits and searches. Our presentation will explain how our library colleagues (directors, service heads, cataloguers, trainers, circulation staff, e-librarians, secretaries...) felt apprehensive and/or enthusiastic about switching to a discovery tool in general (not specifically Primo).

What are the key drivers behind the dramatic growth in library-based publishing? This session explores differences and similarities through three case studies from different countries: Sweden, the UK and the USA. The presenters will describe the forces that are changing the roles of their parent libraries and show how these are also shaping the nature of their publishing programmes. They will also discuss some of the opportunities they see for the future of libraries as publishers and the challenges these new entrants are encountering.

Alex and Conor introduce SAH Journal (sahjournal.com) as an open access academic journal project involving the collaborative efforts of emerging and established scholars as well as academic librarians. Conor explains the benefits of collaborating with research librarians through publishing. Alex asserts that librarians (libraries) are perfectly positioned to enter into direct competition with established commercial journal publishers. He explains the mechanics of electronic publishing from conceptional planning to implementation via, in this instance, Open Journal Systems (OJS).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Research Libraries in the digital era!
• During the last decade libraries have changed
more that in the last century
• And it doesn´t stop here!
• Libraries are re-inventing themselves in the
digital era
9. 9
LUND UNIVERSITY
The Library is no longer an island
within the univesity
• Libraries are expected to
– be involved in development of teaching and
support to learning
– handle the institutional intellectual output
(publishing)
– engage in scholarly communication
– be involved in research evaluation support
– be efficient in their operations
10. 10
LUND UNIVERSITY
The library as a work space
• Researchers doesn´t visit the library premises
anymore
• Students use the library as a work place
• Library space is a space for self-study, group
work and learning

LUND UNIVERSITY
Efficient back office processes
• Print journals and printed books
– might be cheap to purchase , but
– are expensive to handle
• Purchasing e-journals & e-books in bulk reduces
complicated selection and registration
processes.
• Sorry, but:
• Library exchange programmes does not fit!
15. 15
LUND UNIVERSITY
More content – easier access
• Publishers and aggregators offer huge
packages with e-journals and e-books
• They come into the services of libraries with
metadata and links to full-text
• Information resources that do not comply with
this tend to be forgotten - are and will be
invisible!
16. 16
LUND UNIVERSITY
Discovery and access is key
• The library catalogue is no longer the key
service/system – too complicated to use,
obsolete, does not provide access to digital
resources adequately
• Users expect the one-stop-shop to information
resources – regardless of type of media
• Link-servers and discovery tools for easy
discovery and delivery.
• Information resources must comply – or else …
17. 17
LUND UNIVERSITY
Library services and library users
• Yesterday:
– Users had to come to the library and use ”our”
systems
• Tomorrow:
– Libraries have to be where the users are and
library services have to be embedded in the
users systems, platforms, devices and
gadgets
• Or become obsolete!
18. 18
LUND UNIVERSITY
The EDIT ”collection”
• Adequate dissemination of the ”EDIT-collection”
requires that the journals, series and books are
in the ”flow”
– Have metadata, are indexed and are
incorporated in the offers from aggregators
(subscription agents, link-resolvers, discovery
services)
– If not – they will be forgotten and ignored.
19. 19
LUND UNIVERSITY
What should be done I
• Go digital! – plenty of Open Source publishing
software available
• Do a real calculation of all the costs associated
with the existing print publishing model –
including all the hidden costs –
– and if appropriate as well the costs of
handling incoming documents in library
exchange programmes!
20. 20
LUND UNIVERSITY
What should be done II
• Consider the savings
– No packaging costs, no postage, no stock
costs etc
– Consider the advantages:
• Consider the advantages:
– Your content will come into the flow side by
side with the content from the major
publishers
– Increased visibility
21. 21
LUND UNIVERSITY
What should be done III
If you cannot do it yourself:
– Go digital together! – the EDIT-collection
online!
– Don´t forget to digitize the back files!
22. 22
LUND UNIVERSITY
Go Open Access!
• Eliminate subscription management – invoicing,
claiming etc.
• Take advantage of Open Access infrastructure:
– Global dissemination of metadata – increased
visibility – more usage, more citations, more
impact
– With or without article processing fees
• Just as well prepare: Research funders &
universities are increasingly mandating Open
Access!
23. 23
LUND UNIVERSITY
Go Open Access – and do it in collaboration!
• Create the ”EDIT-open access publishing
consortium” or enter agreement with an Open
Access Publisher
– Co-Action, Igitur (Utrecht University) or …
– Use Open Journals Systems and work with a
university library
– See to that journals are compliant with best
practice for OA-journals
• OASPA
• DOAJ
27. 27

implement a sustainable Open Access publication
model for academic books in the Humanities and
Social Sciences. The OAPEN Library aims to improve
the visibility and usability of high quality academic
research by aggregating peer reviewed Open Access
