This document summarizes preliminary findings from research into developing a multi-criteria method for articulating cultural value. The research was conducted at the Pervasive Media Studio, mapping the value constellation through ethnographic observation and interviews. Key findings include that value is co-produced through relationships and enacted through practices like collaboration and trust. Money does not fully capture value, which circulates in different forms like gifts of space, prestige and knowledge. Producers facilitate value exchange and collect success stories to demonstrate value to funders, supporting the collaborative environment.

This document discusses integrating learning development and information literacy support for students. It notes that learning development focuses on developing students' academic skills like writing and referencing, while information literacy involves research skills. The authors argue these areas should be more closely integrated and collaborative to provide clearer support for students. They recommend libraries and learning developers work together through communities of practice to embed skills support across the curriculum in a personalized way. This joint approach could improve outcomes by reducing confusion over support services and duplication of efforts.

This document discusses a project examining the role and purpose of academic books in serving scholarship and learning. The project has two phases: the first involves literature reviews and evidence gathering to understand issues, and the second establishes a community coalition to conduct focused mini-projects. The goal is to investigate opportunities and challenges of technological developments while extensively consulting the academic, publishing, and library communities. The project aims to sustain and enhance the impact of arts and humanities research by navigating breadth and depth of impact from all perspectives.
The HEFCE Monographs & Open Access Project was set up to identify and clarify issues around making monographs openly accessible online, taking a long-term perspective beyond REF 2020. The project examines the culture of monographs in the humanities and social sciences, whether there is a crisis for the monograph form, and how publishing innovations and access models may impact monographs. The project has convened an expert group, conducted research including focus groups, and will report findings to HEFCE in late 2014. Key issues being considered include the role and definition of the monograph, peer review and quality standards, licensing models, and ensuring a balance of private and public benefits from any new models.
The document summarizes a report on challenges for early career researchers (ECRs) pursuing academic careers in the arts and humanities. It finds that 92% of ECRs on fixed-term contracts expressed career concerns, compared to 60% on permanent contracts. ECRs felt short-term posts hindered skills development and publishing. While universities said they supported ECRs, ECR perceptions did not match this. The discussion focused on how subject associations and AHRC could help address issues like mentoring and networking to share experiences. Some initiatives provided resources for unemployed PhDs or supported early career historians.
