‘Emerging from the chrysalis – transforming libraries for the future’ - Danny...CONUL Conference
The document summarizes the transformation of scholarly communication from traditional print-based publishing to the modern digital era. It describes how the internet disrupted the established system of scientific publishing by enabling new open access models. While publishers initially adapted by taking their journals online, they have increasingly expanded their businesses and influence over the scholarly ecosystem. Libraries now play a changing role and must collaborate more closely with researchers to support new forms of scholarship. However, change remains slow at older universities like Cambridge due to their complex governance systems and academic culture that values independence.
As Head of LETS, my role would be to help the libraries use information technology to enhance public services in several key ways:
1) Acting as a bridge between traditional library services and new models by interpreting user needs and technological possibilities.
2) Cheerleading for new technologies by communicating successes and changing perceptions.
3) Connecting different parts of the libraries and facilitating collaboration between libraries and other campus units.
4) Catalyzing innovation by predicting implications of new technologies, identifying services to retire, and testing usability.

Open access - where are we now and where to from here?SusanMRob
This document summarizes Virginia Barbour's presentation on open access publishing. It discusses where open access is now, with many institutions and funders adopting green open access policies that support archiving publications in institutional repositories. However, policies still vary in strength. It also discusses the developing open access publishing ecosystem, which includes preprints, journals, archiving, and innovations circumventing traditional publishers. Going forward, it argues that coordinated high-level policy action is needed regarding licensing standards, funding flows, and making open access a formal part of research infrastructure globally. Recent policy developments in various countries show the field is poised for significant changes in 2016.
The document discusses the role of open access projects and libraries. It notes that open access has permanently changed scholarly communication and that libraries are now more involved in research, data curation, and education. Libraries are setting up open access repositories and helping to create open educational resources. The document also discusses challenges around open data and the need for libraries to support open access to research data. Finally, it argues that libraries must be agile and innovative to support new forms of scholarly communication and the needs of researchers.

It also outlines support available from Sciencewise, including a news digest, case studies and guides on their website, partial funding for public dialogues, mentoring and training throughout the process, and bespoke support.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
This document discusses how research assessment and funding criteria are changing to focus more on real-world impact. It provides examples of initiatives that emphasize engaging with non-academic audiences and applying research to benefit society. The document also offers suggestions for researchers to demonstrate impact, such as publishing practitioner commentaries alongside papers, participating in research learning communities, and co-creating articles with industry professionals. Overall, it encourages researchers to consider how to communicate their work to relevant end-users and incorporate impact planning from the beginning of the research process.
Michael Markie talks about open reserch publishing platforms | OSFair2017 Workshop
Workshop title: Open Access Models & Platforms
Workshop overview:
What are the emerging models of Open Access for publications? Who should be involved? How are costs distributed over the stakeholders involved? How can OA platforms innovate further to embrace Open Science? This workshop will discuss and showcase the range of models available, including their costs and organisational aspects, to discuss their relative strengths and weaknesses in different academic contexts.
When: DAY 1 - PARALLEL SESSION 1 & 2
Jisc and Elsevier have agreed to collaborate on open science initiatives in the UK. This includes:
1) A gold open access prepay scheme where UK institutions pay 10% less for publishing gold open access with Elsevier by prepaying. This supports the transition to open access mandated by UK funders.
2) A draft agreement for the Jisc Router to access Elsevier publication metadata to help UK institutions manage open access requirements set by HEFCE.
3) Working groups have been formed between Jisc and Elsevier representatives to further cooperation on open access publishing, research data, metrics, and research integrity.
Open access (OA) to research publications brings with it significant benefits for UK institutions, researchers and research funders.
After several years of concerted effort to implement OA following the Finch report in 2012, we have learned, and continue to learn, a great deal about what works well, and what works less well. In this workshop we’ll present examples of good practice to support implementation from our nine pathfinder projects.
The document discusses the role of institutional repositories in scholarly publishing. It outlines two goals of controlling institutional digital assets and developing a sustainable publishing system. It describes the publishing services at the California Digital Library, including supporting distribution of research and fostering new publishing models. It discusses findings from a faculty survey that found a growing amount of publishing activity and desire for university support of new scholarly communication activities. The role of institutional repositories is seen as aligning publishing services with research, broadening university press capacities, and coordinating planning across systems to support research, publishing, and preservation.
This document summarizes the results and plans of Knowledge Unlatched's (KU) 2014 pilot project to make scholarly books openly accessible. Key points:
- The KU pilot involved 13 publishers, 28 books across 5 subjects, and was supported by 297 libraries in 24 countries.
- Usage data showed the books being downloaded over 263 times on average across 121 countries in just 3 months.
- Moving forward, KU aims to expand its model to additional languages and regions, help new open publishers, and further develop the infrastructure while conducting additional studies on impact.
This document summarizes Dr. Frances Pinter's experiences promoting open access for scholarly monographs. It discusses various open access business models and initiatives, challenges around metadata and discoverability, and calls for stakeholders to work together on sustainable and cost-effective open access processes. Key points include Bloomsbury Academic's early adoption of open access, Knowledge Unlatched's crowdfunding model, and the importance of Central European University Press's mission. The document advocates for improving metadata standards, tracking usage data, and integrating open access monographs into libraries.
Presentation for The Association of Research Ethics Committees' University Seminar on 17 February 2011, London, on 'Digitisation: Big Word, Big Impact'.
Collection development is big business and how academic libraries decide to invest in content is radically changing. This is being driven as much by new approaches to organisational design, relationship management, and data insight in universities as by changes to business models and technology in scholarly publishing and the supply chain. Based on recent experience at Edinburgh, Manchester and Northumbria, this participatory session will explore new strategies for collection development, and specifically address challenges and opportunities faced by libraries that have moved or are transitioning from traditional subject librarian roles.
This presentation was provided by Evviva Weinraub Lajoie of The State University of New York at Buffalo, during the NISO event "No More Big Deal? Picking and Choosing Titles for Use," held on July 6, 2020.
The document summarizes the outcomes of a pilot project managed by Jisc Collections to extend journal subscriptions licensed for the UK academic sector to also provide access for NHS organizations in England. The pilot provided access to over 2,500 journal titles from 9 publishers and saw over 1 million article downloads in its first year. Acceptable pricing offers were negotiated with several major publishers but no funding was secured. Some temporary access was later funded. The document also discusses efforts to sustain national access in England to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews as its publisher Wiley moves to an open access model and NICE funding is reduced.
In 2018 higher education institutions offer adequate services and have the right expertise to enable personalised and flexible education that corresponds to the learning needs of the individual student in the best possible way.

This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the Open Course Library project in Washington State. It summarizes that:
1) High textbook costs reduce access to higher education, with students spending over $1,000 per year. The Open Course Library aims to lower these costs to under $30 per course.
2) The Open Course Library project will develop 81 high-enrollment courses and make them freely available online under Creative Commons licenses. This could save students over $7 million per year if 25% of courses use the resources.
3) Openly licensing educational content produced with public funds can help increase access, quality, and completion rates in higher education while making more efficient use of resources.

Claude Moore Health Sciences Library - Future Of The LibraryCMHSL
This document discusses the changing role of libraries in light of new technologies and trends in knowledge management. It notes that libraries have historically adapted to major changes like the printing press by developing new systems to manage the information explosion. Similarly, libraries must now adapt to the internet and new ways of accessing and sharing knowledge online. The key roles of libraries are still facilitating knowledge discovery, creation, dissemination and evaluation. However, libraries need to align these roles with their parent institutions' evolving missions in areas like education, research, patient care and community service. This will require embracing new technologies, collaborating across disciplines, and innovating new ways to integrate library services and expertise into how knowledge is managed and used by the institution.

Open Access: Increase the Visibility of your Scholarshipciakov
Presentation on the fundamentals of open access. Topics include the social, political and especially economic context, defining open access, green OA, rights retention, sci-hub, and the beneficiaries of open access.
Tom Caswell presented on open educational resources (OER) and their potential to increase access to higher education while lowering costs. He discussed the "iron triangle" of higher education where improving one factor like access negatively impacts quality or cost. However, OER which are openly licensed educational materials that can be freely used and adapted, may help break this constraint. By openly licensing educational content created with public funds, OER allow for non-rivalrous distribution at nearly zero cost, benefiting both students and institutions. The Washington State Board has launched an Open Course Library of OER for high-enrollment courses to reduce costs and improve student outcomes.

Jisc on repositories unleashing data - Daniela DucaRepository Fringe
Jisc aims to make the UK the most digitally advanced education and research nation. It supports research through developing shared infrastructure, providing input to funders and publishers, and supporting standards. It is working on two relevant projects: the UK Research Data Discovery Service, which aims to make research data more discoverable by evaluating metadata models from Australia and Canada; and Research Data Metrics, which is scoping a tool to assess data usage and management systems through a proof of concept using the IRUS dataset.
IRUS-UK is a national aggregation service that collects usage statistics from UK institutional repositories. It processes raw download data into COUNTER-compliant statistics. A small piece of code is added to repository software to gather basic data for each download and send it to the IRUS-UK server. This data is then displayed through a web interface, SUSHI service, and API. Future priorities for IRUS-UK include increasing participating repositories, implementing the tracker for more software, expanding reports, leveraging additional metadata, and international collaboration.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Jisc is developing REF and Monitor tools to support open access compliance. The REF plugin will build on the previous version and institutions must install the RIOXX plugin. Jisc is also investigating a plugin for DSpace. Monitor tools include Monitor Local for institutions to track open access outputs and funding, and Monitor UK which aggregates data at a national level for analytics and sharing gold OA cost information.
Jisc is working to support funder compliance with metadata standards for research outputs. They have developed the RIOXX metadata application profile and guidelines in collaboration with RCUK and HEFCE. Implementing RIOXX will facilitate consistency in metadata fields, interoperability between systems, and reporting of research outputs from institutions to funders. Jisc is providing plugins, patches, and support to help institutional repositories implement RIOXX as recommended by RCUK.
Linking Software: citations, roles, references and moreRepository Fringe
This document discusses issues around properly attributing and citing software in research. It notes that current practices do not sufficiently reward those who create and reuse high-quality software and data. The document proposes treating software and data as first-class research outputs by publishing papers about software and data to allow them to be properly referenced and credited. It also discusses challenges around identifying citable elements of software, versioning, defining authorship and roles, and ensuring proper linking of metadata.
The document discusses Jisc Publications Router, which helps institutions capture research outputs by routing publication metadata from various sources to institutional repositories. Router 1.0 demonstrated a viable prototype routing metadata from Europe PMC and Nature, and full text from Europe PMC and eLife. Router 2.0 is now being developed to provide a pilot service, migrating existing participants and adding new content providers with the goal of becoming a full service by August 2016. It will have a new architecture and aim to capture more content and integrate better with other Jisc open access services.
This document discusses linking research outputs to enable reproducibility and acknowledgement through citation. It notes that not all research outputs are as easily identified as articles. Data citation allows research to be linked through identifiers for data, authors, and other research artifacts like theses, papers, and monographs. Technical and human infrastructure is needed for open research that integrates these linked objects and identifiers. Outreach and sustainability are also addressed.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
