About the Webinar
The "single search box" approach of web search engines like Google and Bing have forced libraries and system developers to rethink their whole approach to end-user searching for library and publisher resources and electronic content. Discovery systems are continuing to evolve from simple keyword search systems, to more elaborate indexed discovery, to new forms of usage-based discovery and beyond. Because discovery of content is such a critical component of library services, understanding in what potential ways these systems will develop is critical for library staff, either when selecting a system, or seeking ways to improve its service. NISO launched a research study in early 2014 on the status of discovery systems, their potential future development directions, and the systems interoperability needs of these services.
This webinar will cover some of the latest developments of library discovery systems as well as discuss the findings of the NISO research study, and the implications of those results.

Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books.

Assessment of e-book strategies - CNI Spring 2014Maria Savova
What do we know about the use and acceptance of e-books by students and faculty? At the December CNI Executive Roundtable, “E-book Strategies,” several institutions reported on data collection efforts to assist them in better understanding the use of and satisfaction with e-books among their constituencies. In this session, findings from three institutions provide insight into the kinds of information collected, what the data revealed, and the impact of these studies on policies and strategic directions.
1. Library e-book availability and accessibility varies significantly across platforms, countries, and publishers. Up to 50% of titles are missing from some platforms or countries.
2. Even where e-books are available, the licensing terms often prevent libraries from accessing them. Nearly all e-book licenses restrict lending to either a one-user model or metered access.
3. E-book prices charged to libraries have little relation to characteristics of individual titles or licenses. Prices can vary widely across platforms for the same book.
4. Greater transparency is needed regarding e-book availability, licensing terms, and pricing practices to understand barriers to library access. The researchers plan further surveys of libraries and legal analysis
This document introduces Knowledge Unlatched, a not-for-profit organization that enables open access to scholarly books. It does this by having libraries around the world collaborate to share the costs of publishing books open access. The document outlines the challenges facing academic book publishing, Knowledge Unlatched's goals and business model, and details of its pilot collection involving 28 books from 13 publishers. It invites libraries to pledge support for the pilot collection by the end of January 2014.
Alternative Avenues of Discovery: Competition or PotentialJason Price, PhD
The document discusses alternative avenues of discovery for libraries, focusing on three emerging examples that correspond to the themes of reaching out, providing intuitive services, and gaining insights from analytics. The first example is Libhub via Zepheira, which uses linked data to extend library catalogs onto the web. The second is 1science Open Access Solutions, which expands discoverable content by making institutional repository publications freely available. The third is Yewno's inference engine, which supports discovery by revealing connections between concepts based on underlying scholarly content.

Presenters:
Stacy Konkiel, Outreach & Engagement Manager, Altmetric
Rachel Miles, Kansas State University Libraries
Sarah Sutton, Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University
New forms of usage data like altmetrics are helping librarians to make smarter decisions about their collections. A recent nationwide study administered to 13,000+ librarians at R1 universities shines light on exactly how these metrics are being applied in academia. This presentation will share survey results, including as-yet-unknown rates of technology and metrics uptake among collection development librarians, the most popular citation databases and altmetrics services being used to make decisions, and surprising factors that affect attitudes toward the use of metrics. This presentation will also offer actionable insights on how altmetrics are being paired with bibliometrics and usage statistics to form a more complete picture of “trending” scholarship that’s worth purchasing. Through sharing the survey results and opening up a discussion about the potential altmetrics hold for informing collection development, the presenters aim to provide a learning opportunity for attendees which will enhance their competencies for e-resource management, specifically, core competence for e-resource librarians 3.5, use of bibliometrics for collection assessment, and 3.7, identity and analyze emerging technologies.
1) E-book collections are a large part of many library collections but can be difficult for users to discover due to lack of metadata and disconnected management systems.
2) New opportunities exist to improve e-book discovery through unified knowledgebases, automated metadata feeds from publishers, and direct integration between knowledgebases and discovery services.
3) Libraries can benefit from reduced manual effort in managing e-book holdings and more timely access to e-books in discovery systems through automated processes for updating title lists and status changes.

Key issues discussed are sustaining monographs, peer review, and how open access may impact "trade" books and interdisciplinary work.
Xavier University New Orleans Open Access talk Oct. 22, 2018Monkey8Mind
The document discusses open access and the scholarly communication system. It notes that traditionally, academics publish research to communicate findings, further careers, and benefit institutions, but commercial publishers own the scholarly record and libraries must repurchase faculty research. The document advocates for open access options like institutional repositories and open access journals to make scholarship more accessible and distribute benefits more widely. It provides examples of organizations, websites, events, and guides supporting open science and open access initiatives.
The document discusses using Web of Science and related databases to strengthen research discovery, assessment, and identification of producers of research. It outlines how the databases can be used to discover more relevant papers, assess the impact and performance of articles, authors, journals and institutions, and improve author identification. The document provides examples and screenshots related to searching topics, analyzing citation metrics, and identifying highly cited research.
This document provides an overview of open access at Utrecht University and for NIOZ researchers. It discusses the basics of open access, including the two main routes of gold (open access journals) and green (self-archiving in repositories). It outlines funder policies supporting open access, growth in open access journals and repositories, debates around green vs gold routes, and options available to NIOZ researchers to make their work openly accessible in compliance with funder policies.

UCD Library and GreenGlass: Defining Needs, Redefining CollectionsUCD Library
UCD Library is undertaking a project called GreenGlass to review and curate its print book collections. The goals are to define the needs of library users, refine what materials should be in the collections, and take a long-term sustainable approach to managing collections and spaces. The project involves weeding less used items, purchasing new materials, and defining criteria for what remains in open access, storage on-site, and long-term off-site storage based on usage data, age, and other qualitative factors. Communication and input from academic departments will help develop profiles to guide decision-making.

The document discusses the roles that librarians can play in supporting open educational resources (OER). It describes how librarians can exercise both existing roles like selecting and describing resources as well as new opportunities such as contributing their own OERs, advocating for OER adoption, and supporting authors. The document also notes that librarians can leverage traditional strengths like addressing accessibility issues, collaborating across institutions, and ensuring resources have useful metadata and functionality for students.

The document discusses the tensions between academic libraries' missions of preserving knowledge for future generations and serving the current needs of students and faculty. It notes that libraries are moving away from primarily permanent collections towards more temporary access models using leasing and subscriptions. A potential future model is outlined where libraries focus on immediate access to all relevant content through various temporary means while ensuring future access through initiatives like print archiving. This broader temporary collection approach could fulfill both the preservation and access missions if issues like ensuring access to out-of-print titles are addressed.

1. A study analyzed the impact of four discovery services on journal article usage across six publishers and 33 libraries over two years.
2. The study found that every discovery service increased journal usage compared to the control group, but the size of the increase differed between services and across libraries and publishers.
3. Usage changes were influenced by factors like library configurations, metadata quality, and availability of full text in aggregators. More research is needed on how discovery impacts other content types and why certain results occurred.

The document discusses recommendations for new forms of discovery and purchasing in libraries using demand-driven acquisitions (DDA). It outlines four broad goals for DDA programs: saving money, spending the same amount more wisely, providing broader access, and building a permanent collection via patron input. The recommendations address establishing goals, choosing content and DDA models, profiling, loading and removing records, assessment, preservation, and consortial DDA. The presentation of these recommendations aims to develop a flexible DDA model that meets local needs while allowing for consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

22. 1) Do library discovery systems index as many gold OA articles as Google Scholar does?
23. 2) Do library discovery systems provide full text access to as many gold OA articles as Google Scholar does?
26. Does full text access to gold OA articles differ
between fully OA and hybrid journals?
27. 2017 Study
Are OA articles from hybrid journals more or less
accessible than articles from fully OA journals?
And is this related to institution size?

30. Conclusions of 2017 Study
● 85-100% of gold OA articles are indexed in library discovery
systems
● 50-90% of gold OA articles are accessible from library
discovery systems
● In general, smaller schools have access to fewer articles
● For these major publishers, indexing is fairly consistent
across libraries
● Lower rates of access could be due to many factors related
to linking
