Presentation given by Julia Barrett, Research Services Manager at University College Dublin Library, to the ANLTC Seminar: Supporting the Activities of Your Research Community - Issues and Initiatives, held on December 3, 2014 at the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin, Ireland.
It is not new to say that the scholarly communication system is sick. One way to put it is that the publishers have built a paywall around the papers written by our faculty and make us librarians pay for it.
For years, Open Access via the green and gold route have been touted as a joint solution. To this end, as academic librarians, we focused on building institutional repositories and getting open access mandates. However, recently, many prominent members of the open access community have begun to express doubts about the viability of institutional repositories as a solution given the lack of success.
Some, like Stevan Harnad self-dubbed “Open Access Archivangelist” for Green Open access, claim to have given up, while others, like Eric Van de Velde, suggest that we rethink other ways to accomplish Green Open access beyond just institutional repositories. In this webinar, we will summarise all the arguments and attempt to give a librarian’s point of view about the future of IRs.
The British Library was one of the first national libraries to create and offer linked data in 2011 as part of its wider open data strategy. Since that point the organisation has gained considerable experience of the issues involved in the development and maintenance of a sustained linked data service.
This presentation describes
- Why libraries are interested in offering linked data?
- What are some of the basic concepts involved in linked data?
- How can linked data be created from library MARC data?
This session offers the results of a study that tests the assertion that the online dissemination of theses has a positive impact on the research profile of the institution. Based on a combination of primary and secondary research, with some fascinating statistical comparative information, the study outlines the types of metrics an institution may use to measure the impact of its corpus of digitised dissertations and examines how these metrics may be generated. It is the result of a year-long study undertaken with the London School of Economics which focuses on the outcomes achieved through its programme of theses digitisation, disseminated simultaneously through its institutional repository and through the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database (PDTD). Results achieved by the LSE will be compared with metrics gathered globally by ProQuest via its PDTD. The session will be of interest to all librarians and academics involved in the use of digitised theses as a research resource, digitisation projects (retrospective or ongoing) and university rankings.

OA in the Library Collection: The Challenge of Identifying and Managing Open ...NASIG
Librarians, researchers, and the general public have largely embraced the concept of open access (OA). Yet, incorporating OA resources into existing discovery and tracking systems is often a complicated process. Open access material can be delivered through a variety of publishing or archival mechanisms, creating certain challenges, particularly for those managing e-resources. Although an increasing proportion of research output is becoming open access each year, organization and discovery of these resources remains imperfect.
The debate between the relative merits of Green and Gold OA is regularly discussed in academic circles but less attention is devoted towards Hybrid OA and the challenges inherent in this model. Most major publishers offer open access through one or more of these models, but open access metadata standards seem to be lacking among these content providers. The presenters will discuss some of these challenges identified in the literature and through other mechanisms, including data gathered by NISO and an original survey. By identifying these issues, the scholarly communication community can work together to improve discovery for end users.

A Current Research Information System, usually known as a “CRIS”, is a system designed to help with the information management of research activity at an institution. The systems provide a common approach to organising data such that they can be used for many purposes, including support for evaluation of research, support for research assessment, compliance management and to assist in the promotion and access to the outcomes of research. CRIS also aim to provide a ‘one stop shop’ of information used for staff CVs and other researcher profiles.
This webinar will provide a brief and general overview of a CRIS and describe how such a system is being used at the University of Edinburgh.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Relationship Building and
Advocacy Across the Campus
2. What can we offer?
• To build relationships we must have something to
offer
– Relevant services – what does the research community
want? What are their daily frustrations and top
concerns? How do we know?
– Save researchers’ time e.g. integrate into workflows
– More visibility and impact
– Neutrality
– Coordinating role – bringing together fragmented /
scattered services
– Collaborating role – expertise / resource sharing
3. Analysis of queries; articulate use cases
• Can you host my research centre’s website?
• I’m applying for an IRC grant and would like to include deposit to
the Digital Library as a means of strengthening my application
• I’ve been awarded a grant – can you help me with the metadata
aspects of my project?
• Can you tell me what my H-Index is? I need it for a grant
application.
• How can we in this School increase our research impact?
• Who are we collaborating with, internationally?
• I’m doing a PhD and creating a dataset – can you store that in the
Library?
• Who else is using Drupal on campus?
• I’m confused about open access – is there a charge?
• Am I breaking copyright if I put my articles into the Repository?
• We want to create a temporary online exhibition – can the Digital
Library help?
4. Digital Library use cases
USE CASES LEVELS OF SUPPORT / SERVICE
Decide which we can support now and which we need to move
towards, i.e. Core v. Developing
INTERNAL
Existing digital collection that could
come into the Digital Library
Infrastructure
Preservation
Added functionality e.g. geospatial, linking to related collections
Access / Showcase
Advice / consultancy on metadata, workflows (if the collection is to be
added to)
Website on platform such as Drupal Advice / consultancy on metadata, copyright, etc.
What we CANNOT do is host this website. However we CAN advise on
who in UCD can provide storage (Research IT). And….if at a future
time actual collections come (e.g. RTE recordings), then we can
create a DL collection and they can use DL’s APIs to bring them into
their Drupal site.
Individual academic’s physical/digital
collection/s
May need to work with identified
academics prior to deposit/retirement,
to ensure the capture of as much detail
as possible
Infrastructure
Preservation
Access
App. 3: Use Cases
All collections need to be considered in the context of the criteria outlined in the collection development policy.

Lifecycle
8. Where and with whom do relationship
building and advocacy activities take place?
• Within the Library
– IT (development)
– Specialist e.g. GIS, data, bibliometrician (development, service
and advocacy)
• Economies of scale in a small institution
– Metadata (development, service)
– Liaison Librarians (advocacy)
– Outreach (promotion)
• Research office, research managers, data managers, IT services
• Academic unit, researchers
• Archives and repositories e.g. Special Collections, College Archives
• Committees e.g. Research Strategy Board, College Research
Committees
• How do we know?
9. Issues
• Credibility
– How to establish / obtain
expertise
– How to keep expertise
• Lateral communication lines required
– Multiplicity of units involved in
the design and delivery of
specialist services
– Library structure?
• Rationalisation of possible multiple
points of contact between Library
and its users
– What is the degree to which
services are project-based or
mainstreamed? Role clarity
important
• In partnering with key
non-library areas (e.g.
Research office) there
needs to be clarity
around respective roles
– optics
• In partnering with an
academic unit /
repository / archive
there needs to be clarity
in relation to respective
responsibilities (MOU)
• How do we get our voice
heard with VP for
Research, on key
University Research
Committees?
10. Different models
• Employ specialists
– Share across units?
– Data Manager post across Conway Inst., Charles Inst. &
Systems Biology Ireland
– GIS Analyst across Library, ITS and Earth Institute
• Short-term contracts to get something up and running
– Moving to a new environment
– Investigate a new service e.g. establish the use of ISSDA
datasets in a geospatial environment; train relevant staff,
provide documentation etc.
• Contract out / service contract with specialist company
– DSpace - @Mire
• Embed library staff in a research team
• Adhoc assistance with specialist queries
– Quantitative data queries
11. CSTAR template
• General observations
• Suitability for deposit to ISSDA (e.g. data quality,
anonymisation, provision of contextual /
descriptive information for users):
• Specific actions to address above two points
(where necessary):
• Agreed turnaround time: 2 weeks
12. Examples of types of relationships:
Collections
• Widen scope of School Collection Policies to
include Digital / Data collections, Repository, etc.
• Helps to move such collections into the
mainstream
– School level
– Library level
• Opportunity to highlight such collections
• Opportunity to discuss future collections / existing
collections within School (e.g. datasets, unique
print collections) – relevancy, visibility
13. Research impact and bibliometrics
• Assist a wide range of stakeholders (including
authors, Schools, research institutes, research
administration) to track research impact
– Promotion
– Quality reviews
– Grants / funding applications
• Single cross-campus framework available
at point of need, within workflow, and
from a logical place
• Advise on appropriate indicators
• Advise on presentation of indicators (e.g.
in a CV, in a report, data visualisation)
15. Similar approach for funding support service
Library mentioned only in relation
to the Institutional Repository
Need better integration into
workflows, at point of information
need (e.g. application, award
granted, at end of project)
Need to consider all information
channels e.g. website,
documentation, information
sessions
Horizon 2020

UCD Help Pack
One mention of the Library:
“In addition to laboratory equipment,
you should also detail the IT Resources
and Library resources and collections
that are available”.
Not mentioned under:
• Impact
• Dissemination
• Data management plan
• Communication activities
Etc.
16. Institutional Repositories
• Mainstreaming of repository advocacy to frontline library staff
– Knowledge and confidence
• Researchers
– How easy is the system?
– How do we educate around tricky areas like copyright
– Why would I use it when I have all my publications on
ResearchGate?
• Research Centres /; Institutes
– Different type of relationship….research administrators
– May have interoperability solutions (e.g. Insight)
– Bulk upload options
• Partnering with Research Office to provide seamless integration from
author profiles to Repository
– How seamless is it really?
– Mismatch between fields
– How is assistance provided? At point of need? (e.g. how do I get
a new journal added?); clear who to go to for what? What is the
service orientation?
17. Mechanisms
• Liaison Librarians
– Discuss upcoming sessions
– Invite feedback – helps to inform and feeds into new
approaches, FAQs
– Regular meetings to update, share and discuss tricky areas –
build knowledge and confidence
• Researchers
– Videos, visual examples (e.g. correct / incorrect versions),
FAQs, benefits, wow factors (statistics), compliance
– Understand things from the researcher’s perspective (e.g. why
do they use ResearchGate)
– Help them save time and increase visibility
– Tell them what is/isn’t possible and alternatives
– One Helpline?
• Research Office
– Regular, scheduled meetings with Research Office
– Position yourself; be proactive in your approaches; be prepared
to negotiate
18. Data Services
• RDM: Coordinating role – bringing together scattered
services
• IT Services
• Research Ethics
• Corporate and Legal
• Research Office
• IP
• GIS: Collaborating role – sharing of expertise and
resources to provide more streamlined & coordinated
services
• Earth Institute / IT Services and Library – GIS cross-
campus service
• Activity and expertise exists in pockets; fragmented
across the campus
19. Define what is possible: Research Data
Service, Storage Tiers (QUB)
Need Solution
“Currently working on local workstation. Local
workstation out of disk space. Need to move or
“park” data to clear space”.
Tier 1 – Short term storage
0.5 PB
Share project/folder between users.
No versioning
“Just published my research. No requirement
to make externally visible”.
“Just published my research. Funder
requirement to make externally visible.”
Tier 2 – Published data
0.5 PB
Protection against user modify and delete
Split between internal-only access and
external access
Metadata capture
Access via PURE
DOI generated
“Finished with my data but want to keep it,
may need it in the future”.
Tier 3 – Cold storage archive
1 PB
Protection against user modify and delete
Metadata capture
Quotas enabled
Access via portal
Data will migrate to offsite tape backup in time
Categorisation of need – helps to define
parameters of service
Move to provision of defined services by ITS
Need to collaborate with other units e.g.
Library (Metadata, DOIs, Repository)
21. Channels of help
• Q. I’m having problems trying to understand this
dataset – can you advise?
• A. Please check the following:
- Codebook, data dictionary, survey
- Any other documentation provided by ISSDA
- Project’s own website
- Your MA / PhD supervisor
- Consider whether data may be missing due to anonymisation
- Consider whether data may be missing because you are
looking for a derived variable
• If you are still having problems please contact ISSDA at
issda@ucd.ie – we will pass your specific query on to the
original research team for you.
22. Define what is not possible: Vector data
MAPPING THAT UCD LIBRARY
CANNOT SUPPLY
OSi is no longer in a position to fulfill
requests made by UCD for 1:1000,
1:2500 or 1:5000 vector data.
Data can be purchased directly from
the OSi. Information about purchasing
mapping at the academic discount rate
is available here:
http://www.osi.ie/Education/Third-
Level-Academic/Guide-to-Academic-
Discount.aspx
A sample of the discounted pricing is
included in this application form

24. Place / time visualisation
Can you do this for our
research project?
25. What to consider in advance of a digital project
proposal
• What do you want to digitise?
– Number of items; range of physical dimensions; formats…
• What do you want to do with these items?
– Page through a volume like a book; search for text; view like an online
exhibit; add to existing digital collection…
• What value does the collection offer to the Library?
– Collection development policy
• What is the condition of the originals?
• What metadata do you have?
• What are the rights / permissions of the items?
• What funding options are available to help support any aspect of
the project?
– E.g. digitisation; image processing; annual server costs…
• What other support is available?
– Staffing, equipment

26. Other Partners
• The library as curator of institutional identity:
possible partners are Archives, Office of the
President, Buildings, Communications/PR
– Uses Library’s neutral, central position to coordinate
with several units on Campus to bring together
relevant material.
– Assists in building relationships with powerful non-
academic units – political dimension
– Helps to demonstrate Library expertise in creating both
accessible and curated digital collections.
• Partner with internal Repositories
– Archives, Special Collections
– Unique historical collections
– Link to anniversaries for maximum impact
27. Building trust and credibility
• Systems and procedures
– Initial contact – collection profile document: initial
description
– Temporary custody form
– Memorandum of understanding – establishes the
relationship and clarifies respective roles
– Deposit procedures; templates
• Expertise
– Getting collections into a Digital Library
– Helping users with the creation process
• Equipment
• Build relationship by giving back e.g. digital copy of
collection, statistics on usage
• Service dimension
– Dealing with queries
28. Bringing it all together in a suitable place
http://www.scholarslab.org/
http://digitalscholarship.emory.edu/
29. Spaces
• Moving from collections to services
– Digital / GIS labs, workstations
• Development
– Library staff: brainstorming / innovation
30. Advocacy
• Overall coordination important
– Liaison Librarians
– Referral to specialists
– Coordinated approach in relation to different specialists
• Tailored approaches important
– Appreciate disciplinary differences
– Be explicit and sympathetic about caveats (e.g.
bibliometrics in humanities)
– Different types of support are needed
• Integrate services into researchers’ workflows
31. Advocacy
• Consider a multiplicity of channels
– Workshops and checklist follow-ups
– Online tutorials
– Embed into Graduate and PhD programmes
– Work with supervisors and PIs
– Proactive approaches at key moments in a research
project e.g. grant award
• Get the message out to where the researchers are
– Research Centre’s own website
– Centre’s information session
– Centre’s newsletter
– Centre’s social media channels
– Etc.
32. Overall
• Better alignment with overall College research
strategies; own research strategies
• Be clear about our positive role in terms of
coordination, collaboration and partnering –
networking and offering specialist services which in
some instances build on traditional library services
(e.g. cataloguing)
• CONUL role in supporting collaborative approaches
e.g. MyRI, LibGuides (CONUL LibGuides?)
• Infrastructure is key – shared approach?
• Understand the needs of researchers – national
survey?
• Proactive, opportunistic and strategic approach but
must manage expectations – start small / pilot
